You sure.... press F5 for a refresh
I just went and there is a massive banner at the top saying "C&C3 Demo almost here"

I too am now on the 5 min cycle

Could someone tell me how to display a screen grab on this so I can show what I am getting. there is no banner on my browser. Maybe it is my browser options, and you guys could give me some advice

Couls someone at least display the link for the download page off of fileplanet.

Cheers guys

What makes you say that?

I predict its late on purpose. Fileplanet will get a ton of page hits during this hour and bag them a lot of money so I bet its delayed an hour or so on purpose.

Taken from EA Forum (post time 13:27 GMT, 26 February 2007):

"I’ll leave you with this, the official demo for Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, that you’ve waited many years for, the gripping feeling knowing that C&C is back, Kane is back, Tiberium is back, ok, well lets say it right now:

C&C is officially back tomorrow as the demo for Command Conquer 3 will be going live on our official site at www.commandandconquer.com AND EA LINK, as well as FilePlanet.com whom we know many of you have already pre-loaded with. Keep your eyes peeled on both sites for the moment the file is live, tomorrow is the day!

Going to be until at least 18:00 GMT (18:00 GMT, 27 February 2007), no need to stay up all night...."

No it didn't have the 27th Feb on it, but he posted today, and said that it starts tomorrow, ie 27th Feb

Finally, I can get on with my life!

Chrisss · 26 Feb 2007 at 18:46

That post was made yesterday (in America) though wasn't it?

Booner! · 26 Feb 2007 at 18:46

So those people who paid for a fileplanet accout wasted their moneys??

alexisonfire · 26 Feb 2007 at 18:46

So for all the people that paid for a FP subscription, and preloaded it was completely pointless, as theres a direct link being put on the EA site where no subscription is needed?

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 26 Feb 2007 at 18:47

If it was going to be tomorrow the fileplanet manager wouldnt be checking every 5mins

Um yeah, posted this a couple of pages back.

gizmoy2k · 26 Feb 2007 at 18:47

The download manager still says Monday 26th

And C&C forums are in melt down, Probably will come soon, Why else would the cycle all of a sudden chage from 8 hours to 5 mins?
