C&C3 MP garbage

   you know at first I loved this game for the sp and usually I hate living a story through an RTS game. I barely buy gamez cuz non please me anymore online. I have css,bf2, 2142 if its ever done being buggy,cod series... so some to keep me busy but I played the demo and loved cc3. Like I stated before Im not a rts fan but like some like starcraft, starcraft still from 93 nobody can beat it. Command and conquer 3 was good at first and it just wears off, the ppl just do the samethings over and over and over. Nobody ever uses air in that game, its all about who has the I cannon and the mammoth(powerful tank)..

   The maps are way to small for this type of game where one i was playing the guy was like right there on me where I had no room, u run out of money so quick to mine. I just dont know what happened to the RTS genre, all I want in a game is where air and ground can be balanced. The air is so weak to the stronger tanks cuz it anti air,and a massive 2 shots kills a building. The infantry is quite horrible, all of this is fine not being good but when u have a wall of gunz to guard barely 1 will hold off tanks. I just feel CC3 is about how many units a team has than building structures,guns,etc. Somethign is lop sided in this game and i cant put my finger on it. Its way to fast paced for me way to fast having a game 6-10 mins is to quick, way to quick.

   what do u think bout cc3? it's not a bad game just nothing will ever conquer starcraft\war craft for an RTS style game. I will agree having 6 man squads is awesome that bunch together,having men going in buildings and holding off enemies is quite awesome. This game is so quick to learn strats its unreal.

Well that settles that. I was thinking of whether to get C & C 3 but now I think I'll skip it and stick to C and C Generals/ZH.

Is seems to me EA seems to ruin almost everything they put their hands on. Yet, they make tons of money?! This is one conundrum that will never make sense to me. :?

Just my opinion, but the first C and C game I played was Red Alert that had tanks/airplanes/soldiers etc. C and C Gens/ZH is (to me anyways) just a modern version of that same RA game. (Tanks/airplanes/soldiers etc. again). It has the same special unit types again (like Tanyas), same type of build base scenario and a nice map builder to boot. All just like RA (which is why I got Generals, I couldn't install RA in WinXP so I grabbed Gens). So ya, it's C and C i.e. it's like the original C and C games were.

I am going to have to disagree with all of you.  I consider C&C3 to be the best RTS easily since BFME1 and in many ways I prefer it to any other RTS.  It is a very fast paced game, but I like that so that doesn't bother me.  I love the interface in this game, the sidebar makes everything so much easier, I only wish they had a button to switch to Technology Upgrades.  There are crappy base defences and good ones, but I remember playing games like Starcraft and Warcraft and thinking their base defences were useless while a few sonic disruptors or obilisks can destroy entire armies. 

Really what I love about this game is that the three sides are similar but very different.  GDI does what they always have done, spam mammoth tanks like there's no tomorrow.  Nod uses alot of cheap tanks and stealth units.  Scrin use tons of aircraft.  I've played alot of games on multi-player and I still think that it is a great game. 

   Im in the military, I know gamez and the real thing is completely different but I like somewhat a realistic start. u know what I mean? JUst this game is so hard to figure out for me right now cuz im so use to other games where u can build units and a d. I just wish they would like the base D do a better job of knocking off the first couple of waves of units(strong tanks).. so ppl would panic and think of something else to do. The game like I said is awesome but needs to fix the base guns.

   What i mean is here is that..... i played a tiny bit of supreme commander.. I never really got into it vuz im not a rts fan. So games like this and  starcraft cant compete with it. In starcraft what I loved was u having a good base d.. if u werent fast enough u relied on ur units to somewhat protect u. I think my biggest down fall is trying to do this in command and conquer3 cuz the buildings are like 2200 bucks.But, if u like sp in games this a good buy or download! im gonna boycott EA. They make good gamez and ruin them somehow, most of my favorite games they ruined like.... madden series,mvp series,c&c series,battlefield series... they ruin the games by rushing the programmers so they have ton of bugs on release and play catch up till something new.

   Look at bf2, that game was modded and cut so much that its hopeless.. they ditched it and made 2142.. with even worse bugs.
