You know, I was (still am) a massive Red Alert fan. I own enough copies of both Red Alert 1 and Red Alert 2 to safely have my own LAN with 8 players. But when I first saw Red Alert 3, I was instantly turned off.
The reason being is that it took away the established universe and started anew. But, my opinion has somewhat been changed after getting into the beta test and I've found it to be quite fun. But as far as multiplayer goes, it's only a small fish in terms of what Red Alert's appeal was. That was/is the Single Player, and lately the Red Alert 3 single player (and co-op) is shaping up to be quite interesting, even If I'll be fighting every wapenses kids dream are in the Empire of the Rising sun; at least the Allies maintain some sense of their character in both units and in the campaign cut scenes.
The latest video that pushed me to go Pre-order was this one;

I honestly can say I am looking forward to playing it.
