For me, it's make or break. I am the biggest Red Alert and RTS fan you'll ever find. I bought and played every single C&C and Red Alert game at launch. I bought RA 3 on both the PC and the Xbox 360 and lter on bought the superior PS3 version at launch as well. But without multiplayer I don't see any point to getting this version. The AI is always garbage. The whole point of RTSs is to play against other people because they pose an actual challenge. If I can't play this game against my friend who lives in New York, what would be the point in either of us buying the game? Also I hope EA starts optimizing their games to take advantage of the 3GS to run/look better.
