Command and Conquer 3 out today!

despite the crap *** disappointing endings, its still easily the best c&c Ive played since RA2.

yea the Ion cannon looks great (but then the whole game looks awesome). The Nuke looks exactly the same as generals from what i remember of the 10 minutes I played that game before losing interest..

Probably 7 minutes here.

The effect in C&C3 is more subtle than the one in Generals from what I remember of the several years I played that game.

If you have the crappy setting on Generals the nuke looks the same..

both C&C3 and Generals I have max setting..

the Nuke Generals seems to be bigger explosion/smoke/blast wise. and the mushroom clouds seems lingers on longer..


I just realized. how is it that in Generals after a nuke blast there's patch of dangerous radation area that cause damage to troops. but in C&C3 there's no after effect radiation? the nuke is just like a regular convention bomb..

Obviously the infantry/vehicles have better protection against radiation ;)

LOL, at least infantry doesn't survive a nuclear missle blast like in Generals.

Perhaps. But in addition it may be that with Supreme Commander you have the blue squares fighting the red squares, until one or both sides develop circles. Maybe they like actual graphics in a game?

Don't get me wrong, I like Supreme Commander, but effectively it really is just squares and circles.

I have been playing the NOD level where you have to protect the last alien tower, and defeat the GDI in the area. I think it is the last level for them. I have been trying about a dozen times, but i can't beat it. GDI starts to overrun the tower's defences before i can even build enough units start even a small attack. Eveytime i play it the level ends in about 5 minutes with me losing. How do i beat it?

Thanks,

Having completed the game I can honestly that's the most difficult mission. My advice:

1.) Construct an emissary (base expansion) and get a refinery (and a small bit of defence) built next to the nearby blue tiberian field.
2.) Build a second harvester.
3.) Build a tech lab and secret shrine and train up a commando.
4.) Call in a shadow strike team to take out the zone troopers protecting the juggernaughts and then take these out using the commando.
5.) Build an MCV and some avatar mechs and march them to a point just in front of the alien base.
6.) Setup the MCV and surround with heavy base defences. This will block the GDI and leave you plenty of time to take them down.

It worked for me!

anyone know the best place to get more skirmish maps for this?

Thanks alot Sinnersis, i will try it this weekend. Hopefully i will have good news by monday.
