Command and Conquer 3 demo releasing 20th Feb

Woohoo!!!

You made my day... I will defnitely download the demo.

Awesome news! Especially so since that dissapointment called Supreme Commander :D Apenoot

how did SupCom disappoint?

SupCom dissapointed me because it was bland. No feel with the units, hassle with air units getting without ammo, graphics aren't nearly as good as expected (and I had everything on max) and the zoom function is kinda cool but when zoomed in I can see my ground units but not my planes, and when zoomed out I can see my planes but ground units look like two-pixel ants. So what I started doing was playing mostly in zoomed out mode, which basically means I'm looking at some sort of strategic map-based game.

Perhaps I dig micro RTS more, I dunno, but I think a game such as Company of Heroes beats SupCom easily in terms of graphics, gameplay, athmosphere and overview.

Or it could be I should try and give SupCom some more time, but at this point I don't even feel like trying. (I did kinda like TA though -- maybe I would like SupCom more in multiplayer since I also thought TA sucked in SP)

PS: It would be fair to note I base this on the DEMO of SupCom

SC is to messy. Tbh i dont care if it claims its big strategy etc with many untis. It gives little in terms of tools to control these vast amount of untis other then simple group controls like 1-9. So its basicly build lots of units and send em on Attack-Move against the enemys base.

I just hope C&C3 stays true to the old C&C games. I liked generals but i dont like the peon or worker system. I want a return to the old C&C base building and production. Also the way C&C have always handled air. I like the fact that you build a platform for each aircraft which they fly missions out from. Again not like in SC where air units are to much like normal units. In C&C air units is more of a support asset that you task to a specific skirmish or task on the map.

I hope C&C3 lives up to my expectations, but im a bit skeptical but we will have to see. Just hope my comp can run it he he.

Great news! Cant wait to try it, i hope it will be a blast. C&C series rules!

k, fair enough.

WOW ! Thats really a good news .

Thanks to OP .

Really looking forward to this, love the CnC series (especially RA2). With SC turning out to be a massive disappointment, i am even more pumped. If they deliver on what they promised, the online will be immense.

After playing the demo I got a real bad taste in my mouth.  I can't explain it in detail except to say they replaced innovation with huge maps. There is nothing REALLY new here.  The zoom out ability is cool and lets you control all your units from extreme distances....  but the game world seems bland and lifeless.  In their effort to make it huge they forgot to give it life.  I still have it reserved, and I will still get it, but I am not as hopeful as I once was.

Yes, I will definately be trying PvP when it comes out.

One thing I didn't like about SC is that the UI took up like half the freakin screen! They really need to overhall that UI and shrink it down somehow. venombrood
