So, What Do You Think?

[Star Wars Man]

So, what do you think of Command and Conquer 3? Was it done well? Does it have some faults? (Note: Please put spoilers if you find a problem in the campaign, thank you.)

High Points:

Visuals look excellent.
The FMV sequences are very nice.
Like the diversity of the Scrin units, especially in the air. That was done well.
Balance was done really well.Low Points:

The Avatar Warmech needs a buff. Badly. Especially at 3000 a pop, either increase armor or attack strength, because they barely last on the battlefield.
The Scrin have almost no diversity for infantry and vehicle units. All their power is in the air. While this is nice at times (Especially when in Red Zones with chasms), as soon as your enemy figures out your air strategy, AAA will be everywhere.Overall:

Overall, I think C & C 3 really does a nice job of keeping the series intact, especially with excellent graphics and great FMV. With just a few low points, I think C &C 3 is an excellent game.

IIRC you can back up ur avatars and tripods with engineers to revive them when they die. That should balance out the low points.

But I did notice that GDI is an extremely spammy faction. :\

Every faction has retrive units Juggernaut, Tripod. The war mech does need something for 3000 a pop it is most expensive least usefull out of the box.

Got a quickie here: is there any "World Conquest" mode in the game (ex. Rise of Nations, LOTR: BFME II Star Wars: EAW, etc), or did that get taken out?

Only thing I flat-out dont like is the triple build-time speeds of structures and the triple tiberium credits (compaired to the worth of Tiberium in other games) to compensate, just to make the game really fast. It really doesnt serve any purpose in the stratigy aspect of things at all. All it does is make it so any game can be easily finished in 7-14 minutes, and it's way to heavily balanced twords those with 1337 Doom-like clicking skills.

Also, the lack of skirmish options and such compaired to other C&C games is kinda dissapointing aswell.

Luckily these types of things are easily modded... its just too bad the online community will probibly stick with "triple production for the sake of making the ADD kids happy" way...

Im not saying that C&C3 shouldnt be fast, just saying it really sucks when you can bring out the nukes and big toys at around 5 minutes in a match and that to truely be good at the game you have to have uber doom-like FPS shooter skills with the mouse, or suffer miserably from carple tunnel :p ...

Implying that the First Tiberium War happened in 2020.

D:

Just, D:

That's a storyline suicide.

2002 is more fitting.

The game has just been released here in the UK, so here is my rating:

High points:
Pretty good quality FMV sequences, i've seen better but these arn't too bad.
Nice menu design.
Kane & Joseph D. Kucan is back! =DBad points:
Josh Holloway - how did he ever even get into acting?
Really bad casting (the casting director should be fired.)
Bad AI (I think its even more stupid than the AI in the older games.)
Gameplay isnt too great (its just better than Generals.)
Got to sit though the EA logo each time you load up the game.
Dissapointing extras in the Kane Edition.
Far too easy gameplay.
Long loading times (at least on my system.)
Soundtrack was really, really awful.In my opinion its only just better than Generals, but I do think EA should just let the C&C series die off now as they have turned a great series into something that dosen't even deserve to have a DVD case.

All in all I give it a 4/10.

OK, 1) you probably need a better system or your trying to run them to high for yours as it could be good enough to play it, which could contribute to the long load screens.
2) Yes maybe the extras in the Kane Edition weren't all that great but still, it was your choice to get it if you did.
3) Have you tried playing it on Brutal AI, maybe changed it from balanced to another type like Turtle AI.
4) I've seen worse acting before.
5) Let it die off, your the one who needs to be shot.
6) Are you playing the full version or are you still on the demo.
