Who all is going to pick up the game today? I'm probably going to swing by Best Buy after work...

So doing it..

I'll be picking it up as soon as it's available in Aus, whenever that is.

C&C95 was one of the first PC games I ever played, I got it free with my first computer (Pentium MMX 200MHz, 32MB of RAM, 4.3GB Bigfoot HDD, which is the size of half a brick

). After the disappointing sequel, I hope we can finally get a game that outdoes the first one in terms of gameplay and plot.

Oh, and naturally, I can't wait to see that bald-headed maniac again.

I have it on pre-order I believe from amazon. It's out on the 30th here though so it's a bit more of a wait for me.

Got it. Gonna play it as soon as I watch Rome and nBSG.

Maybe I'll buy this AND STALKER!

Oh damn, I need to go grab this tomorrow. Completely forgot about it, even though I played the demo to death.

Game wont' fucking install. The progress bar reaches the end and the dvd-rom drive just sits there, endlessly flashing, doing nothing (I checked the task manager). What the fuck is it with these tedious technical problems lately? It's such a pain in the arse.

False alarm, the install program just fucking sucks.

I assume it's installed then..

I've noticed a lot of install programs lately sit on 99% for a long while for some reason.

mine's already shipped but I won't see it for days (damn living in a snow bound prison of natural splendor)

This one sat on 99% complete for 15 frakking minutes, I shit you not. I was about to give up.

Anyway, playing the Nod campaign (I've always played Nod first. Always.) and it's tremendous fun. I'm up to the third mission (not including the prologue).

One thing I don't like is that it tracks your career and if you lose a mission (my commando got killed in the latest mission because I decided to dick around) it's permanently noted as a "Career Loss".

Sadly I just don't have the time for it right now, especially since my PC will need an upgrade to run it.

Vympel, just out of curiosity, do you get a briefing or something during the install like in the older C&C games?

It will not run on Vista64 unless you crack it (due SecureROM crappyness).

Well if its based on C&C Generals there'll be a text file in My Documents that'll have such stuff recorded

.

Anyway, my copy will be arriving by 7th April - got it coming with a pile of other 40K odds and ends

As always, can you lucky people supply pictures to tease those of us with crappy PC's which would melt if we tried to play the game?

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2007-03-27 04:52pm

Actually CnC3 isn't high on system requirements. It's basically the CnC Generals engine souped up somewhat. Nothing like supcom.

I deliver:

Up to...mission 4 on GDI. Damn Nod tried to blow up my place of work! *shakes fist*

I had the same problem.

Eventually I just decided to leave it for a while and come back, it had finished itself off eventually somehow.
Almost lost it though.

I'm loving the game so far. Playing through GDI and even on hard it feels a little too easy so far. But damn I love the cutscenes, it feels like C&C. Thoguh the music is very uninspiring for me, nothing as 'omph' as Franky was. BUt I'm willing to wait.

DOH!

I forgot about it! which is bad considering I pre-ordered the Kane Edition.....

Shroom Man 777 · Post by **Shroom Man 777** » 2007-03-28 02:02am

I bought it! Gonna install it...later!

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2007-03-28 02:15am

also pre-ordered kane edition back in january, now I'm waiting for it to get here to the park.

Resinence · Post by **Resinence** » 2007-03-28 02:53am

Damn you people with the Kane Edition! *grumble grumble*

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2007-03-28 02:54am

What's so special about the Kane edition?
