commandandconquer@fun.ea.com is where the email came from. Kind of an unusual email address, though.

Any one take a look at the headers for the message. I'd recommend checking out the sender through that info not just the listed return address.

I searched Google for the email address. Three results came up, apparently the links are dead. Here's the most interesting one I found:

I received it. It looks pretty legitimate to me especially since it has all the links and stuff at the bottom.

I think you all are paranoid in saying it's a hoax.

Roger that.

I checked my (old) AOL email account and I got the letter too. I get all of the EA spam on that email account. Guys, there's so much evidence to prove that this is real that you might as well wait and see what happens, instead of going on about how it's a hoax. You wouldn't like being teased later on if it actually does happen.

More evidence: There is a link at the bottom that removes you from their mailing list, and the URL is on fun.ea.com. That server still exists. No duh you guys are going to get nothing if you try going to fun.ea.com... :rolleyes:

That and The Generals Team was not the same as the other C&C teams. EA in ofical statements said that another team was doing Generals.

if they make this game they better not put in bullshit units like yuri or chrono-shits like in the other game, they need to get back to there roots and make somewhat of a realistic war game where the most unreal thing was the experimental chronosphere. That bullshit of a game red alert 2 pissed me off cuz it ruined red alert. If they make this one they better take their time and DO IT RIGHT!

(from planetcnc.com (it looks identical to the e-mail I received))

Does that look legitimate enough?

I had hoped for a TT game... I realy don't want another RTS Red Alert game, altho if a game was based on one of the existing stories for Red Alert, I suppose that would be okay.

I don't think it is a hoax, the english is to good.

looks legit to me, they may just be starting their domain by some strange coincadence? i dunno, but the seals, legal notices and othe stuff just makes it look too real. Not to mention everyone who is registered with WOL is getting them correct? i wouldnt know cuz I deleted the email that i logged into WOL with ages ago.

Well, based on the headers, I see dartmail which is a service of doubleclick, and flonetwork which is an anti-spam organization linked to CAUCE.

Conclusion, someone with money sent this email... I am inclined to believe it's not a hoax but there would definitely be a press release within the next week or two. No way they would keep it silent completely.

My last question is... where is mine? Razz

I'm the bawss.

Some of the grammar is horrendous.

Why would they send this out to the "community" first? Something smells funny...

I don't really care. Unless they can at least come close to Red Alert's quality, this isn't for me. Frank Klepacki left EA, there probably won't be a decent storyline and FMV's, and at best there will be a six-mission single player campaign, if I know EA.

Hopefully this is going to be the real thing, though i would rather it be tiberian twilight, but RA3 will be good too.
I hope they don't ruin it though, but i got a feeling it won't.

Anyway this is hopefully an opening for our long suffering c&c community. Smile

btw where is mine, i didn't get it under my WOL email
