Pros
Pro As a soldier, perform more advanced attacks with the help of a commander
From the soldier's point of view, you can get a more cohesive team gameplay experience, as the commander player can do reconnaissance and provide better instructions to the troop, allowing for more interesting team based gameplay that's more advanced than everyone going off on their own and attacking randomly.
Pro RTS gameplay relies on teamwork
Savage adds a very interesting mechanic in that the grunts and soldiers need to work together with the commander to succeed. Instead of having to micromanage every unit, the commander can take a higher level leadership role, and focus more on strategy over tactics.
Pro Good graphics and colorful visuals
Pro Fun campaigns for all three factions
There are three factions that the player can choose to play as (Allies, the Soviet Union, and the Empire of the Rising Sun), each with their own story which makes for plenty of gameplay and a different experience each.
Pro Has a co-op campaign
The main campaign was designed with co-op in mind which means you and a friend can play through the main story together.
Pro Long-lasting skirmish single player
Pro I still play this game due to the fun side game.
Cons
Con Block as default middle mouse button
Depending on the mouse being used block as the middle mouse button can result in a lot of mis clicks in the heat of battle. For such an important move it can result in problems often for the user.
Con Game is FPS locked
Framerate locked to the engine at 30 FPS.
Con Occasional pathfinding issues complicate unit placement
Due to slight issues with pathfinding, player units can become stuck at certain parts of the map, causing frustrating situations when those units are needed to be in a particular placement but were unable to do so.
Con AI opponents possess few strategies allowing it to be easily manipulated
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3's AI reuses a limited selection of strategies, which therein allows the player to identify what actions the AI will most likely be performing next. With this knowledge of what the enemy AI will be doing, skirmish matches and campaign missions will be easily beaten, providing little to no challenge for experienced players.
