I am enjoying it a lot. Is it only me or do other people have audio mushy problems? I have a soundblaster platinum and 5.1 speakers. But the vocal sound is mushy and comes out the rear channels instead of the center channel. I downloaded the new patch and it is still there. I don't see any eax or advanced settings for audio.
Blech! Way to skinny. At least Tonya from Red Alert 2 had some meat on her arms.Quote:

Oh sweet. They have the girl off of the show House in CC3. I might have to pick it up, she is hot :)
Ugh.... GT racing wheels, Asian fetishes... so off-topic.
C&C3 is a very fun game. Very old school feel, where you mass units, and then rush the enemy, with HD cutscenes in between missions. Soem like that, some hate it.
As far as strategy games go, it's the opposite of Supreme Commander. SupCom focused on large-scale strategic management, dealing with armies and units in a massive scale, and a slower and deliberate pace. The strategy you use in Supreme Commander (ie, zerg rush, investing in expensive units, using nukes, etc) plays a tremendous role in whether you succeed or fail against your opponent.
C&C3 focuses a lot more on micro-management and unit upgrades. The build tree is short, flat, and fast, so you could be cranking out top-end units within a matter of minutes of starting a game. The game is much faster paced, and very visceral. Explosions, rail guns, and superweapons look cool in that sci-fi video game way, and shake the house if you crank up the sound. Your success in-game depends less on your strategic choices, and more on your tactical ability to micro-manage your units better than your opponent.
Overall, if you really liked the playstyle and story-telling of games like previous C&C / Red Alert games, or like the playstyle of Warcraft 1/2/3, then you'll really enjoy C&C3.
The girl who played Tanya is another hot actress, Kari Wuhrer. She was on Sliders for a few of the later seasons. She has excellent boobs.Quote:

Just for clarification purposes in case you people have no idea what girls we're talking about

Well wait a minute. If they both depend on tank rushing how different can the strategies be? I thought Supreme Commander didn't rely on rushes?Quote:

The way that you choose vs your opponent will determine whether or not you succeed.Quote:

Ah. Now I got it.Quote:

I've installed it yesterday around 2pm and kept on playing till 4:36 am this morning.. 14 hours pretty much straight only stoping to poop and eat. I've played 2 level from GDI then NOD and back to GDI all the way to the end
The best way I can describe it is a "C&C stylized Generals/Zero Hour game with Ramped up graphics and better interface"
If you're a C&C1 fan/purist you would love this game. I enjoyed it very much. The gameplay is true to it's roots but the pace is much faster. There was one GDI stage where you have about 6 game minutes to stop a Alien "Gravitation Rift" and a NOD Nuclear missile from launching.
I have to admit the ending is rather disappointing compared to say C&C1. (I did both the "good" and "bad" ending on GDI) and both ending is pretty much the same and it sucks. I was using easy mode.
anyone finished it with hard? maybe it's a different ending.
I have to say for a game that looks this good it runs VERY playablly on my rig with everything Maxed out at 1080p, just no AA.
I got the patch 1.02 in and I didn't notice any problems at all.
Great game if you are a C&C fan.
finished both nod and gdi throughout on hard, the endings are either u are a hero to the world or a hero to the new gdi government. Ending is exactly the same for Nob on easy or hard also.
Is there anyway to watch the cutscene movies that you've already unlocked/watched?:confused:
Im almost done with the GDI campaign (I think) and its ok but I just wanna get it over with to do the NOD one:D
damn, I just finished the nod campaign and the ending for them is kinda disappointing too..
is there two ending for nod too? like GDI? I didn't any notice anything that indicates two ending for nod.
I just finished the GDI where I dropped the bomb (havent dont the other one yet). I thought it was pretty good ending just a bit short.Quote:

It took a long time for homm5 to get patches, and it was more buggy on release. Ea did a good job on this game. Its kinda rare from them, but I like this game. I want to see more cut scenes. Thanks Kamakazi for showing the different pics. They are all hot.
Im stuck on Operation Stileto ACT 5 nod :mad: This mission is hard even on easy.
I find nod alot harder than GDI.Quote:

on NOD it was pretty hard. I can beat it but it's just too time consuming and I use a money and unlimited power cheat just to get through all the level and see the cut scenes.
good thing I didn't waste 12+ hours playing it through with honor like I did with GDI.
The NOD ending was too much a disappointment to justify 12 hours of play to see it.
yeah Im just playing it for the cutscenes as well which are great. If anyone has any tips for this mission...:mad:Quote:

So did anyones saved games get screwed because of the 1.03 patch?
The game totally crashes and gives me an out of memory error report when I try to load a game.
I didn't try it yet. but it's supposely to just fix multiplayer issues.
btw: do 1.03 have the option to use the original C&C left click interferface?
The Nod ending really is utter ****!!! Its worse than the KOTOR endings.
Is the scrinn campaign as big as the other two?
I haven't played it myself but I hear it isn't as big.Quote:
