Supreme Commander be da bestest.
C&C3 is a nice single player game.
Im reminded of American Pie. It's like throwing a tennis ball against a wall, which can be fun....BUT its NOT a game. What you want is someone to throw the ball back to you.
Thats C&C3 the lonely nights before you meet SupCom

I don't see what's so great about SC in single or multiplayer.
Multiplayer ends up with desyncs 99% of the time, even on a LAN, and taking minutes to reach someones base is not my idea of fun.
Espeically when you have crap like t3 arties, which on some maps, can reach everything.

I can't wait to see how well they work the Scrin into the game. Oh, and Joe Kucan as Kane is arguably the best villian of all-time PC games.
I've pre-ordered ofc .

Anybody notice that Kane is the same guy from the first C&C, and the GDI general is the guy from Starship Troopers, Robocop and Total Recall (also in the original, i cant remember?)... movies are cheesy but its really close to the original as you could possibly get which is what of alot of us wanted to see so... good job EA.
As for Supreme Commander, finished downloading it and i'm going to have a look at it tonight... I assume its mainly Online Multiplayer based with a bit of single player if your bored (which is kind of the opposite from C&C). I also assume it has much larger maps and more in depth graphics (DX10 optimised), looking at the spec's you need a pretty heavy hardware package for it to run smoothly enough (2Gb RAM, 7800+ recommended) which kinda sucks as I am still using a 6800.

I tend to agree : Supcom has far superior tactical gameplay but C&C 3 will have a better storyline due to the ingame movies.
I'm kinda wondering : does that alien race appear during the storyline or does gdi and nod already know about them at the start? I'd like to see how kane and some gdi officer react to to that news: I bet it wasn't planned in their strategy :p

James Earl Jones was Vader's voice, and the GDI guy in Tiberian Sun. In C&C3 it's the SST guy, whose name escapes me, and the guy from the first C&C I cannot recall who the hell he is.
Oh, and Kane is played by Kieron. If you don't believe me, find a picture of kieron, and compare it to Kane.

lol even though everybody has seen this guy in loads of films, nobody still knows his name.... but vader's voice, everybody knows that :)
ok i spent hours last night playing supreme commander... i spent at least 2hrs on that tutorial level just messing around with different units before doing any missions (dont do this, just jump into the missions, having all the units right away confuses ya) and although at first i didnt really like the game, it has grown on me a bit. Tactically its double that of C&C, where as in C&C you have to pull in resources with a harvister, and in so protect that unit, build with minerals... on SC your constantly on a ballancing act between power and mass (matter) to build things which makes it unique and intersting, but sometimes god damn annoying. For some reason you'll just suddenly have no mass or power and you'll be searching around trying to find out why. Then sometimes you'll be able to build forever without a problem. The sheer number of units you can field in this game makes it interesting, and i also like the way you can build anywhere on the map, not just inside your little area. Unit artificial intel is quite good, enemies will pick on weak units and installations instead of just doing whatever. Movement AI IS ANNOYING!!! my god wish they'd sort that out... in the middle of a battle the guys at the back of my blob of units just sit there... smoking a pipe... and the ships are even worse. I do like the Nuclear explosions and the carrier that can submerge. There are some pretty cool features and my 6600GT handles it a treat even with 5000 units on screen. I'll always be a die hard C&C fan though...

I love the C&C series (except generals, you f***ed big time ea!).
The cheesy acting was the best in C&C, especially Kari Whurer in Red Alert 2 and Yuris Revenge! The actor that played Yuri, a well done performance!
Getting the original Kane ( i can never remember the actors name) in to redo the character is gold. IMO no one would ever be able to live up to the evil that is kane.
My eve life will suffer for a few weeks when c&c 3 is out!
I also cant belive that this thread is 2 pages long without a mention of Homeworld!

The cast is pretty fricken awesome, any game that has "sawyer" from LOST in it will get me to buy it at least for the cinematics.
Having played the demo, if the main game is as fun and the storyline doesnt get cheesey I reckon it could be as good as the original.

Because the people you're playing with have different patch versions

Originally by: Angor Who's a fan of the first game? Downloaded the demo from EA's "EA Link" and gota say im pretty impressed. Even though its just am extreme graphics revamp from the original C&C... still brought back the memories... defo going to buy it when its released.
Im not sure if I want to buy it, and you should reconsider as well.
EA has ruined the C&C series, EA Generals Zero Hour (it doesnt deserve the C&C name) is just a game full of big explosions, units have a hard time responding to you in the way you command them. There ware bugs in the game that have not been fixed since BEFORE the last patch, and if there is a new patch I think hell will freeze over.
EA's C&C3 is another POS like Generals, big explosions and horrible game play.
EA is good at sports game and some fps. It is really bad at RTS.

I thought that was Dune...
True, here's a man who knows his games history.
As for C&C never really liked it but thats more to do with me not liking rts in general, tho CoH was impressive.
just cause something came first, doesnt make it the father of all the subsequent games.

Just played a 2 hour long SC scrim with my brother. Although i wasn't too impresed with SC at first, after that 2 hour battle I think i've found a new addiction.
That being said I think more people will play C&C3 because of its simplicity and incredibly easy gameplay (as compared to sup com). The C&C label won't hurt that much either. Personally I think I'll stick to SC for the same reason I prefer UT2004 over halo, or eve over Wow. Complexity, replayability, and challange win out over cookie cutter games that change very little after the first few weeks of play. _______________________________ Idea stolen from DS:

I think more people will play C&C3 because it doesn't require $1500 of hardware to run preperly, and even then, you get the occasional 2-3 second freezes.

I'd just like to ask : whats so "new" about C&C 3. It looks like a sooped up generals game to me.
Better graphics yes but not always : i really hate the look of the ammo being shot in c&c3.
General powers again? bah please! the gdi have so many unit creating powers that you barely have to make your own units.
And TBH that alien race kinda looks crappy imo. First glance is pretty cool but it seems they only have 2 weapons : lasers and that weird-flying-sticks-of-light weapon. (Oh hang on they have a 3th : a flametank that fires mucus instead of flames)

TA was quite possibly the worst RTS I've ever played.
"Hey we're being shot, oh btw we can all shoot further than we can see, so you have to build extra **** to let us shoot where the fog of war is still sitting."
Oh yeah, fun game, gotta love crap like that, especially since it doesn't affect the computer-controlled units at all.

TA/SC and C&C3, whilst part of the same genre, are two completely different games. Stop compairing them nitwits. C&C3 is far more fast paced, whilst SC is meant to be a far more stretched out process with thousands of units.
I like both games, personally. --- Cache Clearer |
