The *New* Official C&C3 Thread

i have a few problems with c&c3. Too simplistic economy management, however I think thats more my problem than the games, C&C generally has always been quite easy on the eco (as in balancing what you gather)

Tank spam wins most things, I just spammed out loads of scorpions and beat my opponent with ease, only at the end did he get the tech centre up for rail guns but it was too late.

However despite its faults, its really fun.

C&C was always about the zerg and cheesy movies. But it does have some realy cool things. Like in Red alert it had spies and to counter that you had dogs :D
 
Just received my 2nd copy of C&C3 but just noticed on the back:

I ordered from an online retailer which I can't say the name of but how can they get away with this? The company is quite a big name and I thought they were just a Jersey company like another one but clearly not :eek:

I haven't opened it yet but should be okay in terms of multiplayer?

BeatMaster :D
 
Well had another game with my m8 online and adjusted my tatics to his, as in by the time he got to any tiberium fields I had dozens of buzzers and then backed up with some walkers.... did that to both locations/ setup my refinerys.

And it wasnt difficult to win, he barely had 50p resources..

So I was able to easily harrass and defeat him cos he had no resources/money.

Its not a very pleasant/fun tatic but its a win win tatic...

Only thing is we had a game straight after and he did the same tatic and won, even when I put the tiberium scrin growers in my one field and 2 harvestors it just wasnt able to match him....

Maybe theres more tatics/strategies to win with little resources or isnt there?
 
An official one is still in production mate. It was apparently being released early april but april is flying by and still no sign of it. Wont be long till the map editor is released tho i would have a guess at 1-2 weeks :)
 
ok, cant wait to see some user created ones and do some of my own, i dont think there are enough good maps for multiplayer in the standard game.
 
i just hope that it supports downloading the maps as you join a server (which i dont think it will). I not played CnC since Red Alert and them days you jsut made maps for your own use in skirmish mode. However im sure maap packs will be released..

Well since RA2 it's downloaded them on connect ;)

EDIT: Not actually sure about generals, so seeing as this is built on the same engine I cant say for sure, can anyone confirm that generals downloaded on connection?

thts great news :D i havent played CnC since RA1 ;)
 
According to the news section when you sign onto CnC Online, the Worldbuilder is coming very soon, and you will be able to download maps when you join the games. Also a major patch is coming in May, going to add new maps, and all the usual stuff.
 
Has anyone had this problem when trying to start C&C3, anyone have a solution?

"Conflict with Emulation Software detected."

I am running Daemon tools but tried unmounting and disabling all drives.
 
The computer turtler is so easy to beat I find, you get almost free reign on the map and tib spots. The guerilla one on medium+ is a bit annoying though!

I'm switching between the different modes, as I work through the 1v1 maps (which I hate). Much prefer the largest maps :cool:
 
can i just ask people if they think this is normal FPS, On normal games my FPS is pretty much locked at 30 (which is the cap for this game), occasionaly goes to 26/27 on big battles, but i did an 8 player scrin battle yesterday, all Brutal Steamrollers, and there was HUGE battles in the middle thing hundreads and hundreads of units, and not only that but they were all spamming there ships with all the little ones that come out, would it be normal for something like that on my spec running the game maxed out to go down to 12-18?
