Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Movie, MP Beta Nears

E3 Coverage
2008 Website has a video interview with Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
executive producer Chris Corey that was taped during the recent E3 extravaganza.
The clip includes footage of the game, shot off a monitor in ShakyCam style,
showing off combat from the Japanese faction point of view (thanks Ant and
Planet Command &
Conquer). Additionally, the
EA
Support Forums have word that the
Red Alert 3 Beta
Test Feedback Forums are live in preparation of the launch of multiplayer
beta testing (thanks

Voodoo Extreme), saying:Comrades, The Command & Conquer 3 Red Alert 3
Mutliplayer Beta Test is set to launch publicly very soon. Get ready to wage a
crazy war with the Soviets, Allies, and the Empire of the Rising Sun in our
online-only multiplayer Beta Test. And remember, the only way to get in to the
Beta Test is by purchasing a copy of Command & Conquer Kane's Wrath. If you are
one of the thousands who already purchased Kane's Wrath and registered your Beta
Key, then you are in our public queue and awaiting activation status!

As mentioned on our official website, we will be rolling out the Beta Test
activation keys based on the time in which you registered on our beta test
website (http: //www.ea.com/redalert3beta/) with the serial key from the insert
contained in your copy of Kane's Wrath. We may also consider the country in
which you reside as a component for when you will be activated in the public
queue as we are aiming to get global feedback in as much as possible for our
beta test. When we activate your key you will be sent an e-mail with your Red
Alert 3 Beta Test key with instructions on downloading and installing the beta.
If you registered for the beta test within the first couple of weeks, it is very
likely you will be activated close to our first public launch. We will then
continue to ramp up and activate registrations weekly, and potentially even
multiple times a week. We will activate registrations primarily based around the
status of our software. Certainly if we are experiencing any critical issues, we
will halt activations until they are resolved. It is our intent to start the
beta test small, and make every effort to quickly ramp up to thousands of
players in a matter of days and weeks throughout late-July and August.

We're committed to collecting your feedback and improving Red Alert 3 before we
ship later this year and wanted to give you a general update that the Red Alert
3 Multiplayer Beta Test is slated to go officially public very soon!

You may have heard that we have actually already started an internal-only
testing period this week called "EA Friends and Family" where we are using a few
hundred people to work out any potential technical issues with connectivity and
the state of the game. It is our intent to collect constructive feedback from
you during the Beta Test, however, we're spending a few days doing an
internal-only trial run with friends and family of our development team, and
around our company as well. If you've heard rumors about our Beta Test launching
today or even this week, they are referring to the process noted above.

We have also opened up our official Red Alert 3 Beta Test forums where you will
be encouraged to post your constructive feedback to help us improve the game.
Since the beta test is starting to trickle out, we chose to open up this forum
section early. We will make sure to keep it updated with sticky threads and
updates and certainly the moment we start to activate people in our public
queue, you will hear about it on our boards, official website, and via e-mail
communications.

The Red Alert 3 Beta Test will be activated soon, and it will be a most glorious
day for Command & Conquer gamers all around the world, until the final game
ships of course!
