Anyone pumped for C&C 3?

Yeah i am looking foward to it , going to be building a new rig woohoo lalalalala

Dude the tiberian wars is awsomest ever love c&c I still have the original of c&c. The blimb flying into what seems to be the WTC is way to weird I think, that is in the opening move of the original C&C

Well it's the release date today for most of y'all, what's everyones thoughts?

I gotta wait 2 more days

Aye i can see a few sleepless nights coming up, i just hope it has more game-life in it that C&C Generals..

I played the Demo already they improved the graphics a lot and you dont need that much of a system for it i cant wait to get it

Well i like to see C&C Generals like more of a Multiplayer game not so much a solo game But still I enjoyed the solo missions a lot to

I still beat my budys ass in lan partys

im not that good there just really bad lol

And ppl think im crazy cause I play alone CoH in my two computers 8O

Yea man multiplayer rocks in this game I play Fridays via internet with some friends and one game sometimes lasts like 3 hours so you are very entertained we even use team speak to talk crap to each other lol

Don’t know how good you are but when playing multiplayer you need to be on your guard from the start, or you can be beaten in less than 5 min I learned that the hard way :x

I play on the USA server usually on the 2 vs 2 selection in the game it self with 3 other friends KaverSoul is my nick in the game

Well after giving it a couple of hours of attention i can safely say i'm impressed. It blows Generals out of the water (Pun intended), Visually its very slick and the HD video's are superb.

It's so good to go back to the old style C&C, bring on the expansion pack (s)

Its got a good few nights of me playing it before i'll second that statement But it does rock.

Not tried multiplayer but i have read on various forums that the Scrin are the most powerful due to their abilities in attacking/defending using air units.

Well maybe I missed something when I played the game, but I found it extremely boring, not least due to the fact that the only viable tactic seems to be Mammoth spamming. Honestly the only thing I like is cheesy movies.
After playing SupCom and Medieval 2 this game is just too light on the content, if I want to play a twitchy game I'll play a shooter.
But thats just me.

has anyone play online yet?

cause Generals gets a lot of lag with more than 2 players I want to kow if they fixed that before I get it, im more in to multiplayer gaming

I wonder if i can crossfire my X1900Xt with one of my X1600XT he he funny =)

Well it is interesting to see a totally different opinion on the game, and that is why i don't trust reviews

Personally i felt Generals was too repetative but i do feel Zero Hour was a BIG improvement.

I just found too many of the missions on Generals was "Build a base, Blow up Theirs" which is a similar angle to what your finding for C&C3 but i do agree with you when it comes to the latter GDI missions, the Scrin's airforce is just Soooooo powerful, it needs lotsa Base Vehicle defense with Rigs to allow you to build up enough of a force of Mammoths to whack em.

But i still hte majority of missions offer better variety than Generals...

I haven't played this series since Red Alert. So far I'm only playing GDI. The first 3 or 4 missions were pretty easy - even on normal. On difficult it gets a lil tricky - learn the hotkeys for sure. To a point, I'll agree with the mass Mammoth attack but there are times where you need smaller vehicles so you can navigate through the map easier.
I'm playing this on my HP DV9235nr laptop and it runs pretty good unless there's a massive army fighting. but I do have most of the graphic options at medium - at full it was too choppy.

I should sell it, hey. Wouldn't be a complete waste.
But seriously the next CnC would have to be revolutionary for me to buy it, I am just too tired of carbon copies of the original with just prettier graphics and when it isn't even better than the previous CnC in gameplay and not much better in graphics (on the plus side: doesn't tax my system at all, all at top candy) you just gotta look elsewhere for your RTS fix, I suggest SupCom and Total War, IMO they currently reign supreme in RTS.
