Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying one of the best years ever for PC gaming.

On the eve of one of our own major releases, The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™, the one thing we've grown to understand is how important the community - our most loyal supporters - is for industry. This started back in our days at Westwood where the community for our games has always been a big priority. We understand that you are the most important and influential group for us and we are constantly amazed at the amount of talent used to create quality assets and mods.

Having said that, we have a MAJOR announcement to make and we are making it exclusively to our long time C&C fans. This announcement is not going out to the press and it won't appear on the EA website or anywhere else online. We are very proud to announce that the team that brought you Command & Conquer™ Red Alert 2™, Command & Conquer™ Yuri's Revenge™, and Command & Conquer™ Generals has officially started work on our next project set in the Red Alert universe!

As I mentioned, we're very proud to ship what we feel is one of the best RTS games ever released. Most of you have probably heard of The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™ which hits stores this week. We've introduced some really innovative features and gameplay mechanics, which you should definitely check out when you get a chance. You will also see a major enhancement to the Sage graphics engine we originally created for Command & Conquer Generals. Expect us to leverage and continue to evolve this powerful engine as we start work on our new Command & Conquer game.

Thanks again for all your support over the years. This entire team is incredibly excited to work on the next Command & Conquer chapter. Look for an official announcement soon and have a wonderful holiday.


Mark Skaggs
VP and Executive Producer
Electronic Arts



Now if this true, lets just pray it will be a great game.

Red Alert 'universe'? What the fuck!?

I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

Haha what a load of rubbish like they care about us.

So after dissappointing the majority of the hardcore C&C fans with that horrible Generals they are now most likely going to destroy Red Alert universe (presuming this is true ofcourse).

ya that jumped out at me too, if thats so why have they treated the Generals and Renegade communitys like shit and thrown it to die with out updates not even year after it's releases.

But , I do hope this is true, C&C > * (HL is second)

It *could* be true considering that they may have had a wakeup call and realized that we are an influential part of their sales (don't know about "most important" but could be), and the recent WOL downage could be due to them testing how many people there are that "live" on their servers and/or they were rebuilding it and preparing it to stay up longer and hold more connections due to the creation of a future C&C game. Who knows, I'm still on the skeptical side, though.

Common sense would tell you that it's a good chance it's true.

Who would be lifeless enough to try to replicate an official EA email, somehow find out the email of A LOT of people here, and send it out to all?

No offense, but I kind of hate how everyone just totally flames anything that might be a possibility for another C&C game. Mostly because they hate looking back to that memory... Just deal with it and see what happens.

I have yet to receive mine, and I have WOL accounts on my current email address as well. I'm waiting to see what the percentage of users here get it. If they send it to emails that nobody knows about except that EA would, I would presume this to be true, but I'll be checking my inbox.

If it is true, this is going to be such a kick ass thing. I've been waiting soooo long, It will be a HUGE jolt into the community.

First we get HL2 now we get a new C&C game possible, what a great season for games.

I just hope they don't go on another mind-control tangent.

There is a link in there to remove you from their mailing list, which works. A hoax would not have that.

As I told you on AIM:

ReyDeLaGuerra: heh
ReyDeLaGuerra: they wouldn't call themselves that
Cdembring: but they wouldn't have a working link to remove you from the list either if it was fake
ReyDeLaGuerra: anybody can get that link if they receive emails from them

Still, it's very rare for someone to waste so much time to do this and somehow have everyone's email.

I think we can settle that this is legit. Now lets start hearing some game plot theories.

I'm skeptical, and I will remain skeptical until I can look over the email and such. I have an idea, someone post the email that you received it from, and have someone trace it to see where it leads.

im pretty sure this game will BLOW. EA has some dumb cookie cutter bullshit that will turn the Red Alert series into some kind of Metal of Honor world war 2 style sim because thats what sells. F*** EA. The story line of Red Alert doesnt even matter anymore. The best storyline of all time has been trashed. I hope 2005 is the worst fiscal year for EA EVER
