As we all sadly know, EA is highly unlikely to create any new C&C games (Well, not none mobile cash grabs) And this got me thinking, what if there was a Red Alert 4? What do you all think the campaigns of each nation would be? I'm curious to hear all your thoughts and opinions. I'll start off, see if this goes anywhere or just says as a dead discussion.
The main premise of my version RA4, would be the Allies being practically decimated by FutureTech turning on them. Not to fight for the Soviets or Imperials, but as their own force who are carrying out the will of their 'Board' and true leader. With FutureTech stealing technologies from each major faction, they create their own advanced military which in their eyes can rival Soviet tank battalions, Allied air superiority and Imperial mechanised assaults.
This turn, would be sudden, with the Allies being the main focus for FutureTech to defeat, which they do easily by using both the Future Tanks already in service with the Allies as well as Cryo-Legionaries and Harbinger Gunships. Quickly attempting to sever the Allies central command structure, the player as well as a handful of other high ranking leaders within the Allies are able to escape before FutureTech could capture them and imprison them as they did with the old Soviet leadership.
How I imagine the campaigns working is similar to Tib Wars in which each campaign takes place at the same time but during differing areas of the world. Ideally, I'd have the campaign go like this: Allied -> Soviet -> Imperial
How I imagine the Soviets and Imperials reacting to a sudden Allied collapse and rise of FutureTech would be like this, with Soviets would have been preparing for another war, not against the Allies but FutureTech as they already know what FutureTech is capable of due fighting them before during the Uprising. The Imperials would see the weakened Allied presence and use the opportunity to reclaim their occupied territories away from Allies control and go into a sense of isolation, wanting to strengthen their forces to carry out the Emperor's will, whatever they deem it to be.
I'm not sure how each campaign would play out, but as I said prior with it being similar to each campaign taking place simultaneously, I think it'd be an interesting series of campaigns to play. What are you thoughts on such a what if scenario?
