Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
"Now, here's an interesting factoid for you: In statistical terms, the US military has expended 250.000 bullets on every insurgent killed during our campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq back in the day. When the War on Terror went Global, that number got even worse and we faced about ten times as many bad guys at a time. If you're up against an enemy as blood-crazed and fanatical as the GLA, the last thing you'll want is to run dry in the middle of a firefight. Our ammunition makers could barely keep up with this extreme demand and even if you've got enough bullets to keep the dakka going, you still need the logistics to distribute them among your troops. This, my friends, is what the Mule Drone is all about. What you're looking at right here is a new, state-of-the-art unmanned ground vehicle. The Mule is rugged, reliable and armed to the teeth: You can load anything from magazines and ammo boxes to missiles and shells onto this thing and grab whatever you need in the heat of battle. That way, our grunts can be extra generous and put out an overwhelming volume of fire. This also brings us to the Mule's own armament which consists of an M134 minigun and an array of flare launchers that can be used to draw enemy anti-aircraft fire away from out planes. It is this excellent combination of mobility, utility and lethality which earned the Mule a spot in the armoury of America's most elite special forces."
Very nice model but that Missile Defender launcher looks very out of place amongs the detailed textures of the other parts of the drone. But still a very nice model!
This thing is just a bit bigger than a sentry drone. That detail ingame is about as visible as a crack on china's great wall while looking from space :P
It was already showed about 6 months ago on facebook.

I love it!
Kind of reminds me of a MALP from Stargate.
Though, those would carry a .50 at best and had to have a gunner.
And they had wheels.
It really does look like a MALP, also, other then fire support what is the actual ingame purpose of this thing, it would make more sense in a game like Men of War.
Carries extra ammo so the troops can be a bit more lax with the worrying about it; ROF bonus.
It's basically a tiny remote controlled truck, just like the other one was before they realised they can use them as scouts.
So this grants increased fire rare like the support power?
Same effect as Tech Armory and gives a small increase fire rate.
Looks really cool, but I think it might be as big as the Bradley from the looks of it.
That is baddass no doubt about it!
So what does it do ingame? Apart from shooting and sending out flairs, does it produce an area where infantry would should twice as fast?
Yes, though I don't think that it will double their fire rate
"You can load anything from magazines and ammo boxes to missiles and shells onto this thing and grab whatever you need in the heat of battle. That way, our grunts can be extra generous and put out an overwhelming volume of fire."
It sounded like it might =P
So this is the unit I've been seeing in the screenshots recently, looks like a GLA Scorpion tank gone US.
Those ammo crates look like they'd fall off the moment the MULE moved, especially that jerrycan.
I'm wondering what kind of...eh...voice over they are going to use for this! Hope it's not the sentry drone sounds.
I think they could do the Controler voice like:"Drone on the way sir"...
pls do PAC-3 missile defends system the cold war aa sucks

More drones. One would think that the US has become some kind of hivemind...
