Command & Conquer 3 Demo, Next Week!

Had a quick skirmish game and it rocks :cool: :cool: a bit more basic than Sup Com but classic c&c at its best.

This is what I expected Generals to be like.
 
Just played Skirmish for an hour, really like it. Love the new effects. Ive been a fan of the series and have to say I enjoyed it from start to finsh.

Yeh It's capped at 30fps, I was gonna pull out my credit card as well ;) :D

My campaign didnt look like that lol
 
Hmm not really sure about at the moment. I should play skirmish for a bit so i get a better feel for it as thats the best part of the CnC games.

The initial thoughts are the graphics and animation are top notch. I really like the odd touches, for instance, commandos doing push ups when your not controlling them :D. And *** FMV, although cheesy, definately made me grin!

The GUI is very clunky even at 1920x1200. The rollover help pop-ups are absolutely gigantic and take up most of the screen. Hopefully, like supcom, they will mod that in future patches, or some third party person will.

Coming from supcom the maps are tiny and the zoom is non existant, but i expected that. IMO CoH has better sized maps with a zoom that is more balanced. And is it correct you have to select a button to do waypoints, or queue commands? I dunno about that....

It definately fairly easy to pick up and is very fast, so you can probably finish a skirmish pretty quickly. Could be fun but I don't think i'll be playing this over coh or supcom when i really want an intense rts.
 
Loved it :D

Reminds me of the good old days of C&C

Only bought Supreme Commander yesterday & its pants, ah well I guess it'll make a nice coaster.

Cant wait until the full games out, got it on pre-order now :D

"meh" sums it up for me.

Both Sup Com and C&C3 are pretty boring.

Company of Hero`s has spoilt me, it just so much better than these two.

I thought COH was the dogs danglies of RTS's, but just the demo of this alone has made me think how much better the full version will be than anything else out there, for me personally anyway

Its just like the old CnC games. I love it, I've played the demo pretty much all day, and usually demos for me are just a play once/uninstall job
 
Lol, anyone tried the skirmish in normal/hard more?

The AI is bloody difficult to win against.

Especially nod and their stupid stealths!!!

Just done it on hard and found it lengthy, but quite simple.

Lots of defences, lots of resources, ROLL OUT THE TANKS! :D

Still enjoyed it though, apart from when it de-generated into the usual "chase the last few shreds of opposition around the maps"

OT I'm on an E6400, 7600GT, gig of ram - runs beautifully with AA on high and everything else on maximum (just not tried AA on max yet!) :)

That's with lots going on, too!
 
Anyway of running a custom resolution of 1360x768? Doesnt give me the option in-game.

From what i've played of this demo and of Sup Comm i think i prefer Sup Comm. C&C3 seems rather basic (in terms of tactics) compared to it. But we shall see...
