Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Great Game!

[JdPower]

If you're a C&C junky like I use to be when I played it on PS1, its BACK and better then ever! Picked up the game yesterday and man I have been stuck on it every minute. GDI and NOD are back and KANE is back as well. Even if you like GDI, you know KANE is leet! If you like fast paced RTS games this is the one for you! The graphics are awesome, with lots of cool lasers and explosions, very good details in characters and vehicles. Sounds are great, you can here them crazy NOD screaming like they did back in the days. The controls are really simple as well, brought back the old GUI (RA2 style GUI). The replay value it extremely high, being that you have a good amount of long campaigns, skirmishes, and the no limit ONLINE play.

I honestly thought EA was going to destroy this game, but I was wrong. EA did a great job in small fine details they did with this game. They came up with new features like voice-over IP, integrated clan support, and new spectator modes (Battlecast). Also they came up with gameplay features that rewards a player for their unique play style. Not only that but they took time in great detail to put a very good story line into the game.

So far its been a great purchase and only got 3hrs of sleep, but I hope you guys get a chance to play the game. Even if you don't really like RTS games play the demo, and trust me you'll be hooked.

Thxs for reading.

Ive seriously been thinking about getting this game because I loved the old school stuff. I was just waiting for some other peeps to voice their opinion after playing!

If you like the old one... you will 100% like this one :rockout:

[wazzledoozle]

I really like the multiplayer features, will have to pick it up.

[dave_cortez]

Haven't tried the game yet but I'm sure this game rocks! Gonna get me one of this soon :)

[OrbitzXT]

I bought it being a fellow C&C junkie but the computer I was going to assemble today to play it had a dead motherboard so its just sitting here. It got a 9.0 review but apparently the game is plagued with problems for a large group of people. Also the multiplayer which seemed good from reading turned out to be quite bad, hosted by GameSpy. I'm just hoping when I get my computer up and running I'm one of the people without problems.

[vivanco]

i have the game, it is awesome, i love it :)

[Mussels]

got the demo - find it very lacking.

In the full, can you shift-click to queue up orders? i sent orcas to attack something, and theres no way at all to have them automatically return... you have to babysit all the units.

[Easy Rhino]

i am enjoying it. but only in short bursts. i play it for like an hour a day. its basically the same old RTS with some flashy videos and decent graphics. i was expecting more.

Hmmm, not sure about the queuing up orders. But the orcas once they attack something they should return to base... least thats what happens with mine. I usually have 8 orcas and I have them attack in groups of 4. 4 return to base then the other 4 attack and then return to base.

I went ahead and bought the game last night so I cant wait to check it out! :toast: Ill have to hook up with some of you guys for some MP action! :toast:

I am a die hard Red Alert fan. I've always enjoyed that series as opposed to the tiberium monologues.

C&C 3 changed my mind, completely. :D Great game.

[Mussels]

After playing it a lot more, i can say its better than i originally feared - its a VERY simple RTS game - you cant qeue orders, you cant do any of the advanced things that games such as supreme commander excelt at.

However, its very well polised, single player is great fun, and i'm yet to experience any bugs that detract from the gameplay.

[LiNKiN]

Wow. I really, really like this game. Theve already patched some bugs that I never got to experience. And for an EA game it is very well polished and I love the flow of the game, the action is awesome. The graphics are really nice! Very, very kool! Im addicted. LAWLS :toast:

[i_am_mustang_man]

it's really fun. i have only played the first 4 campaign missions or so, but it is really fun

[Eric_Cartman]

i'm so glad this didn't turn into another Generals, ea finally got something right for once!

[LiNKiN]

Now if only EA could get their crap together on other games!

gennerals wasn't so bad, but it should be called a "C&C" :D

[Eric_Cartman]

i think you mean "shouldn't" be called a c&c

i personally didn't like the game, too buggy, and to basic

yep, shouldn't
on-line it's pretty cool :)

[Mussels]

i've got one complaint as a way to back-up my earlier comment on orcas.

If i send orcas to say, attack an enemy building, they fly out, fire all their ammo and come straight home. if they have ammo left, they sit there and do nothing.

On a return trip its always a straight line - you have to babysit the unit to make them say, attack from the rear, and retreat back that way too.

Other RTS games you can shift-click and have them circle before attacking, and then do the same with waypoints to have them come back out the back of the base too.

[demonbrawn]

My fiance bought this game for me for our anniversary, but won't let me have it until then (this Wednesday)... can't wait! Hahah, she told me that I had better spend as much time with her as I do playing this game. What was she thinking!? She should know better:roll:

you should be able to set waypoints
the original tiberian sun let you do it, try to look more carefully. Or read/look through the manual if you got one.

i imported teh game from thailand (CD and CD key are valid) but the manual... well its in gibberish.

and no, as far as i can tell, there is no waypoints - seems obvious, but its just not there.

[Thermopylae_480]

There should be a row of buttons at the bottom left of the screen. There are two types of waypoint options there.

but i dont want buttons... i want shift-click... buttons sloooow.

Anyway, thanks for that. I assumed they were just for patrols, which isnt what i wanted.

[Protius]

i didn't really like it, to much spamming

[ex_reven]

all games are like that dude. the only non spam games in the same style are probably turn based

[Mussels]

by spam, i take it he means fast paced - for a strategy game, there well... isnt any. build some of everything til you can get the last level of tech, then mass that unit. skirmish games i play last less than 30 minutes, whereas in supreme commander they can last 4-5 hours.

The maps are veeery small, if you ask me.

command and conquer levels would be boring if they were massive. Unless of course you were challenging a heap of players like >8.

having a smaller map makes it more interesting. although it can be annoying if you like to hog resources

ever play coh? you spam one unit, you're screwed

[Mussels]

actually i play 8 player games a lot - this game only really has team options, there arent any large maps for FFA style action.

Oh and good idea protius, CofH is very anti-spam. That game requires strategy and tactics, and its graphics are just as good if not better than CnC3's :P

[pt]

you have the tot al war series for the best turn based games i played :)

[dave_cortez]

I finally have the game!

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i55/cris_wh/tipidpc/CIMG1727.jpg

with freebies:

..and loving it! :D

[Thermopylae_480]

Where did you get the freebies? I want freebies? I'm so going to buy this game. I love it.

[dave_cortez]

I bought my game here in Manila, Philippines. And I believe it is only for a limited time only or until supplies last, the freebies I mean.

:rockout:

[Zubasa]

We got yet another patch from C&C3...
1.04 it is.

[Batou1986]

i got the kane edition here in US its nice that they finally gave the story the detail that they did for RA as so far the nod campaign owns and not to mention i can max the game completely 1680x1050 6X AA and not see it lag once :cool:

[Thermopylae_480]

I know isn't it the most efficent engine. I love it. I can max it out, and it hardly effects my sytem.

[Namslas90]

The "freebies" were only available in the U.S. if the game was Pre-ordered. too late now.

[Mussels]

Whats with the kane edition anyway? got anything exciting in it?

[Zubasa]

The Kane Edition is the special pack of C&C3.
I comes with a set of extra wallpapers, single/multi player maps and a extra media DVD.
That dvd contain strategy videos, NGs, and so on.
I got it also.

[Jimmy 2004]

Well, I've got it now - it's ages since I last play C&C properly (Red Alert is probably the only one, and even that I didn't play for long) so I'm taking a little while to get use to it again, but it seems good so far. Haven't even touched the graphics settings yet, it looks ok at the moment and I think most of them defaulted to high anyway.

[AsGStorm]

just thought i'd mention this game is spam = win x_X
