I have an update. I found a German site that says it is coming out on Oct 28. Thanks for the long wait EA. It is almost like waiting for BSG to have new episodes.

I'm wondering why it has to be "trimmed and compacted" to work on the iPhone. Compared to the processing power, memory, and screen resolution of the PC I first played Red Alert on, I think the iPhone actually wins big in all areas and could maybe support a slight expansion or at least a like-for-like. Certainly one of my brother's friends got it going on an even less powerful machine.... a 66mhz 486, with 16mb RAM, having to play it in basic VGA (320x200) mode because his machine just couldn't push the pixels fast enough to deal with the (optional!) SVGA. 480x320, however many hundreds of mhz and tons of RAM should deal with it easily.

Wow. I never realised LP were into ripping off Frank Keplaki (the composer for the C&C series, who got his own little section in a game music documentary at some point) as well as endlessly recycling their own material... I think the first version of Hell March was probably formed whilst Chester et al were still in elementary school.

It could be considered a prequel given its premise and timeline. C&C itself is set in some indeterminate "future" period in which some rather strange stuff appears to have gone down since the present day. The entire course of history from about 1930 onwards being drastically altered (caused by Einstein's removal of Hitler from the existing timeline) could certainly account for that...

Uh... aren't they using the C&C Red Alert music? The C&C3 theme probably being an evolution of such. I don't see why you'd use the CC3 music in CCRA, particularly when 50% of the appeal is an exercise in modern nostalgia. Uber C&C gonks like myself who have a CDDA of the game music (in all its 22khz mono 8bit glory) would quickly notice something's up.
