The *New* Official C&C3 Thread

The campaigns can be quite fun I think. The fact that the enemy(s) have already got a well established base and you have to build yours from scratch while defending can be challenging (even on medium!! I daren't try hard).

Skirmish is ok, but it's just one big rush/spam really.
 
While I play online, it crashes to desktop with some error about d3dx9_29.dll. Vista business 32bit. Any ideas why is this? It might take 20 min to crash or maybe more. Random!
 
Just done the Sarajevo mission, wasn't as hard as I expected it to be really - a nice big pack of mammoth tanks just rolled in the front door and flattened the base.

Thinking "ah, that was a bit short, that GDI campaign" but then the Scrin roll onto the planet and start tearing it up. :D

You can play the Scrin campain once you finished both GDI & Nod.

It's just carried on with the GDI campaign. What threw me off is that I expected it to end when Kane "died".
 
Just played my first online C&C3 game, and did I have fun :cool:

Was a 3v3, but my two team-mates were diabolical, I ended up having to defend their bases aswell as mine, and still managed to nearly kill one of them :D

Got overwhelmed in the end though :(

We really need to get a OcUK ladder or something going!
 
It's not my replay, a friend linked me to it, basically he used the mothership on his Buzzers, sent them through a wormhole to the back of their base. Basically when a unit has been hit with the mothership it glows white, and then when it dies it explodes and passes it on, so if timed right and in a densely packed area you get a massive chain reaction.
 
lol funny tactic, orange player was stupid tho and could have prevented total destruction.

As mentioned though if you let it get to that stage you have failed anyway.
 
Just tried it out on a comp stomp, comp builds there base slightly to far appart, but even so it destroyed over half of it and it's such a cheap tactic too :) brilliant.

when units get hit by the mother ship super weapon they die slowly, well a few seconds. When they die, they explode (white blast wave). anything this wave touches also explodes and so on and so on, till no more units within blast range.
 
In the middle of a mad skirmish game.. uploaded it for others to try. It was 1v1v1v1 (3 brutal and me).. I took out one AI and another has gone, which leaves just 1v1... against scrin lol. He has a screen ful of units in the top right, which just swamp anything that comes close :p It becomes unplayable on my system (which isnt exactly slow :O)

That is quite early on compared to the actual savegame. They have much more :o I've ion cannoned them a few times, but there is so much there lol :o :o
 
If i want to play against a friend online, will we be able to connect to each other directly, or do we have to go to a public server? I'm hoping its just a case of one of us creating a server, and the other entering that users ip address and we're good to go. Can someone with the game say for definate?
