Command & Conquer 3 Demo, Next Week!

Wow nothing quite as exciting and relieving as sending orcas to the enemy base as the nuclear missile is appearing out of the temple of nod and destroying it just before it lifts off. *phew* :p
 
Has anyone tested the limit of units you can have per game?

I have about 88 mammoth tanks now, going to try and fill the screen. Framerate is getting to the 20s now.
 
The stratosphere addon for the Firehawk is a great way to take out buildings, sort of like a teleporting Orca bomber for Tiberian Sun.

Just set them in the air, scan enemy base, Ctrl+A to a position just above a building you want destroyed and just after you see their shadow, order it to attack the building and voila!

Of course, if they have a stack of AA, it'll be a suicide run. :)
 
Put the new sky bb to the test and got this demo at 600k a second off the blue yonder link :eek:


After generals I was not expecting much but so far I’ve been enjoying the demo and will be picking the game up when it comes out.
 
Finally got round to playing the Demo last night, but only had time to complete the Demo Mission before I was summoned by the missus.

Must say I really do like it. I haven't played any C&C since Red Alert2 and I found it very simple to slip back in to.

My PC is:

AMD Athlon 2800+
1GB Corsair XMS PC3200
Radeon 9800 Pro

So really is nothing special and it ran like a dream @ 1280x1024 (no AA).

Very impressed with that.

Main criticism is same as it was with RA2 is that "why can I not zoom out more?" I like to be able to see as much of the battlefield as possible, not be sat looking at one group of men and a tank :(

Ok for those playing the demo what system you got and how does it run ?
Click to expand...

my system is in my sig
runs beautifully on absolute max setings, 1280 x 1204, and max Anti Aliasing :D
 
D/loaded the demo yesterday, played it, then ran off to pre-order the game. Im a HUGE generals fan, this is just what i needed. Even runs ok (ish) on my laptop. Thought i'd have to wait for new system im building before playing this!
 
Ive got everything maxed out including AA resolution is on 1280 x 1024 but thats due to my monitor not going higher :( and i am getting 50+ frams a sec

rig:

3700+ AMD overclocked to 2.9 Ghz
7900GTX
2gb or ram

its flawless!! and i love that they have gone back to old school.
 
the fmv sequences skips for me and eventually the video stops playing but the sound contunes. i dont know if its my hardware being poo, vista prefetching stuff, poo vista drivers or a combination of the above.

i have a a64 300+ running at 2ghz (notclocked it any further yet), 6600gt, 1gb ram, abit an8 ultra mobo, vista.

i do notice the sound 'popping' every so often. i am tempted to get xp back on the machine to see if that fixes the problem.
 
Well all I can say is...better than Supreme Commander. I was bored stiff after 10minutes of playing that game. C&C was a lot more fun, will try a skirmish tonight as well. Dunno what it is with my graphics card but having AA on makes the game look a little blurred. Might turn it off later to see if it's more clear.

BTW is it because of being a demo I cannot save the games?
