Anyone tried out the new C&C III game yet?

I did. And it rocks! I was told that the game's loading times are really fast, and when i played it, loading took about 10 seconds! Nice.

Btw, here's a neat trick:

In Skirmish, the demo only allows you to play as GDI, with AI Personality set to Balanced, right?

Wrong.

With a little trickery, you can play as Nod with any AI Personality. Here's how:

Select Nod as your army by left clicking once. Now, hit the N key on your keyboard to confirm your selection. Do the same with the AI Personality: click once on the desired AI Personality, then hit the first letter of that personality on your keyboard:

R - Rusher
T - Turtle
G - Guerilla
S - Steamroller

Don't try to play as the Scrin since the demo does not contain its units and it may crash the game. Nod works fine though.
I fight for Nod!

I'd get it if the download wasn't so damn huge. The FMV in it seems pretty cool though, and I recognise a lot of those actors/actresses.

Not sure why, but I can't take Josh Holloway seriously in that trailer. I see him and instantly think of Sawyer, the funny redneck, from Lost. D:

Sawyer from Lost? :lol:
Anyway, the huge download is a problem for me, too. Not because of bandwidth but because of my HD. Which is kinda embarrassing in the times of 500 GB monsters.

PS: Looks stunning!

Hey, did I hear someone mention "Lost"? :shocked: Don't talk about that when I'm around :cool:

There's word of this other strategy game out that is rumoured to go against C and C 3 but I hope C and C 3 will beat it. I can't remember it's name but it doesn't matter because hopefully C and C will defeat it and no one shall need to remember.

This game looks sweet! Long since I was actually looking forward to a game. And this is the first time ever I've seen PC/video game advertisements on bus stops and in real life in general outside of magazines/television. Huge green posters now decorate most of the bus stops where I live :cool: .

Man, I just asked whether you love it or hate it. Neither of both would offend me. Not that important, though :biggrin:

trailer!

Seems like they cast all TV stars they could get their hands on. Wasn't that the Asian lady from Battlestar Galactica? D/L-ing the demo right now.

I just paid for the game pre-order. Got my little bundle of goodies. I'm getting the "Kane" a.k.a. Collector's Edition. I love CEs.

I have the old version, so i can still play with nod, but unfortunately, there is no sound while building stuff such as "Building" or "Construction Complete" ... But that doesn't matter :razz:

Its a great game that is a MUST BUY ...

I finally got to play it and really liked it. They got the C&C feel quite accurately and the videos and voice acting are surprisingly good.

Man oh man, when I first read this I thought that demos suck and I will only play the complete game, but I can't hold myself, I gotta try this out. I must say that seeing advertisement about it every single day influences me.

goes to download and enjoy

Has anyone actually purchased this yet? I got my "Kane" edition yesterday and have played through a couple of levels. The CE copies are # and mine was almost right in the middle, I got 49225/100k. :razz:

It's been much fun so far.

i downloaded the demo finally, and though it shows improvements on the last, I won't buy it simply because I know I would never get my money's worth out of it, I'm just not a rts guy
