Over on the official Ra3 site, EA have released a first look at the box art:

Whether or not this is the final version is still unclear.

.... im really not liking the over the top soviet favoritism they are showing on everything...

it looks like they just took the concept art and slapped it onto the cover... i wanted a more *normal8 looking cover, one that does so heavily favor soviets...

edit: maybe if they had three different box arts each reflecting one side it might be ok?.. but still...

Is it not entirely possible that they made the art for the box cover?

Wow, that looks like crap. Probably a joke. No way would they release a cover art so early.

Thank you EA for saying that the level of maturity for the average gamer hasn't risen since the nineties.

EA fails in quality control, that is the real problem.

they need to good old 'face of some guy who may or may not even be in game' as the cover
(im refering to the face on the front of the red alert 2 cover... who is he even suppose to be?)

but they should do that though, keep with the good old face pictures, they looked better then that....

Until Yuri's Revenge I don't think they were ever anyone, they're just a generic soldier.

That's a point, maybe it's supposed to be "you".
They generally have something high-tech going on with their eyewear beyond what a grunt would have.

not always...

tibs suns cover had(what i always thought to be) a disk thrower infantry on the front.

still, i think RA2's in soviet commander...
(also, you look at some concept art, and normal grunts seem to have some pretty high tech stuff...)

Random soldier, maybe they should put the bear's face symmetrically on the cover with googles, or something on the eyes like all the other ones. That would look really funny.

That cover looks amazing! I like it.

----

The guy on the Red Alert 2 cover is Volkov, the soviet commander and special unit. (Somebody calls him Volkov, other calls him the soviet commander. Please no discussion about that. He's both of them)

The guy on the Yuri's Revenge cover is of corse, Yuri.


The girl on this new Red Alert 3 cover is Gina Carano, that plays Natasha Volkova in the game.

... thats what some people think... but why would it be volkov? he's not even in red alert 2... just cause someone used that picture as a cameo for a volkov infantry for a mod doesn't mean thats true... its the soviet commander, trust me.

and we knew the rest... kinda obvious for those other two ;)

Yes, but is is still Volkov :p He has always been knowns as Volkov. But yes, i think it's ACTUALLY is a random Soviet Commander that only stands there to show more soviet style in the picture...

Again, I love the new RA3 cover...
