I started playing C&C3 earlier today, and so far it's good. I'm doing the GDI campaign and so far I've finished the 8 first levels, on Normal btw. My first impression is that this is a solid, good game. The graphics and effects are nice, and I feel like the actual game (v1.2, latest patch as of now) runs smoother than the demo did. I now have the settings to medium and getting somewhere around 20-30 fps most of the time which is very acceptable for me in a RTS game (my machine: 6800gt, AMD 64 3200+, 2gb RAM, os: XP Pro).

I gotta say I love the cut scenes. There is something about the acting and the funny suits that just make me want to laugh, but it's great that they've keep those vids in the games from the start. Kane is so evil btw, always appearing in red light " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">.

It's gonna be really interesting to see what role the new team, Scrin, play in the whole story.

less than 24 hours. Either you're good, or ...

Nah, you're good. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Hehe, I must admit I played quite intensively. I'm having a "nerd period" right now, when I feel I must spend every hour infront of my computer and play games/watch anime/do nerd stuff.

I had this game and Stalker in my hands and opted for Stalker.

I was never a C&C fan and thought the good reports I had about Stalker more enticing.

C&C always seemed like a cheap clone of Dark Reign anyway.

Can't argue with dates I suppose but, I played C&C1 and DR1 and DR beat it's pants off.

I never had any computer issues. Mayhap I was lucky. Since we'll never know if it was drivers or some other clashing issues that caused your woes.

Of the two though, I'll vote DR every time.
