C&C demo now on MP!!!

My download speed on the Xbox is pathetic. for a 9Mb file it took literally 20 minutes although I am downloading this right now...

Also how do you guys see what speed you are downloading from the Xbox at?

I know, but i remember a lot of people coming and saying 'This is what happens with a free service' for a certain other online network.

It's a shame though, i wanted to hear how well this controlled, it was a game i was gonna get, even though i have it on PC

Apparantely the controls are a carbon copy of BFME2 so you can make your judgements based on that.
 
I've been trying all afternoon, very slow speeds and only getting to about 20% after a few hours before coming to a complete standstill. I have cancelled the download, deleted the file from the memory and started again. This time it was flying to about 27% and now it looks like its come to a halt again.

It looks like I will leave it till tomorrow to try and get it, hopefully the speeds will be better and any issues resolved.
 
booo hiss snarl snarl! download stuck at 21%

This is rather frustrating! :eek: :(



/edit


he just posted this, don't know if I want to try it or not as I don't really believe it will help
If you are still having problems...stop the download, go into your System blade->Memory->your hard drive->Demos then choose the C&C demo and delete. Then go back and redownload.

Mine isn't steady but on average it's relatively quick.

As I said earlier in the thread it helped me.
 
I have deleted the download file each time after I restart and it hasn't made mine work, it hasn't stopped dead this time but just slowed down big time again at 31%...
 
I been trying it for about half an hour and it doesn't get above 3%. Rubbish, will try later.

I played the older C&C games up to tiberiun sun or red alert 2 and liked them, just wondering how it will translate to aconsole (never played any rts on consoles).

PS JUMPURS: I have a spare PC would this game run on it? I don't know much about Graphics cards and CPUs these days but I think it has:

The machine also has 2gb of ram (don't know what kind).

You can see the minimum spec for the game on websites where you can purchase the game. Yo upicked a great time to stop playing C&C and C&C generals was utter rubbish.

You would think it would be simple to find the minimum specs but game sites never list them. And I can never find my graphics card listed anywhere I don't actually know if it is good for any games or not, never tried any as I haven't got pc games for years.

I did play Generals I think, it wasn't very good.

Gonna try the download again, has yours finished?

No idea what my Graphics card is in relation to the ones they list as I think it is a graphics workstation card.
