Empire Earth 3 is a real let down of a game, seemingly ending what could have been a great series. The problems with Empire Earth 3 can be summed up fairly quick - Unstable, poorly optimized This game was made in 2007 but does not fully support modern machines. Playing at 1920x1080 is not true high resolution, but is a stretched image. The camera also has a very narrow view not letting you see a good view of the game, making a huge battlefield feel disappointingly small. It also crashes, frequently and easily. There does not appear to be a ready fix for this issue, as there wasn't an official patch to address crashing and nobody really cares to create a mod to fix it. - Short game length Empire Earth has an epic scale, a scale which really make Empire Earth unique. Empire Earth 3 slightly retains this feel, ranging from 'ancient' to 'future' tech eras. I say slightly because there is really about six eras, with massive jumps in technology (slingers to trench guns). I never really felt like I reached future era, I only noticed when my units started carrying guns shooting things.
