Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

[MrMoen]

Not much known about this game yet. Its gonna be old school GDI vs. Brotherhood of Nod.

I hope this game is gonna kick ass but Im affraid it is going to be a disapointment since all C&C games which I played on a console so far (this being the PS1) didnt really seem to work.

Share your thoughts, your experience, you whatever

I will totally skip the console verion of this game and play it on the PC where it belongs. Previous strategy games sucked on consoles. And from what I've read LOTR:BFME2 has slow controls as well :P

[MrMoen]

I agree. Consoles and RTS dont really mix very well

[Cage]

I really hope this game is gonna rock.. If not on the console then I'll play it on my pc. It's bin a while since I've played good old GDI vs NOD. Spend many nights till 7.00am on these games _o_

I've heard the same reliable stories as Rival about LotR2 not living up to expectations, so I'm probably also going to keep my strategy gaming on my laptop regrettably :)

I'm going to check out the demo for sure though :)

[Nino]

I've heard some reliabe stories about the LoTR:BFME2 control which were positive :S. I'll see wether or not I'm going to buy C&C3 when I've played the LoTR demo, I've heard that the C&C devs are keeping a close eye on that game and its control scheme...

dune on the megadrive got the entire family into gaming and strategy games. I personally cant wait for this to come out.

Dune II on the Amiga cost me a few months of my life :) And Red Alert 2 in the computer rooms at university rocked too, although Carmaggedon was more popular on the LAN there :P

You mean Dune 2? The first ever strategy game as we all know them now.. It's a shame actually that I never played Dune 2.. Had a hell of a good time with the original Dune game on PC.. played it from beginning to end in about 20 hours straight.. The graphics were the best for a game back in the day.. Don't know if anyone else ever played it, but I liked it. I liked it allot.._o_

[Rival24]

Lol Cage, I recently finished Dune (again) in about 3 hours :P But I have to admit that I've played it very often when I was younger. Dune 2 was awesome too, but it did have lots of sound bugs, and a very annoying starport bug :'(

3 hours? damnit! Hail to the king, baby _o_
Last time I played it was early ninetees somewhere, so it's bin a while haha. I do know that the planet was allmost half green when I finished it, so I guess I took it slow :P Maybe tonight I'll go and search for the 3½ inch disk with Dune on it and have another go..

The first Dune wasnt an RTS, it was more of an RPG wasnt it?

I played it, but not as muck as C&C. I also played Dune 2000 quite a lot.

Look at the size of those games =O

Dune 2 was immense, but Starcraft was my fave RTS game ever.

Thing is, RTS games could feasably work amazingly well on the 360 with keyboard/mouse support, it just seems like it'll never happen, and that's a real real shame.

Imagine an XBLA version of C&C, in HD, with keyboard and mouse support. Real time chat as you construct a ring of Tesla Coils around your base and taunt the enemy! :D

Flametowers ftw

...ring of Tesla Coils...
Flametowers ftw
I liked the sandbags :D Because in the first C&C there was a little bug that the computer could not get past them and was to stupid to shoot them, ergo you could close their base with some bags en create a massive army to inflict massive damage on them and win the game \o/

I used to spend hours and hours playing C&C, but the sequels never really did it for me. Especially Red Alert - thought that was the RTS equivalent of "Street Fighter 2 Hyper Alpha Turbo Mega Edition Volume 3" if you get my drift?

I liked the proper, old-skool GDI v NOD, none of this fannying around with Ruskies. ;)

You cheating urchin!

*grins*

My sure-fire tactic against my friend was to overload on infantry - I'd build little armies of about 300 machine gunners (with the occasional rocket/grenade trooper for variety) and just swarm their base. Thing is, individually, they were weak and pants, but in a group that large, all firing at once, they could take out any enemy vehicle in seconds with the possible exception of a harvester. The only vehicles I ever used were helicopters!

[Rival24]

Oh, I just put 5 engineers in an APC and took over my enemy's base :P

[Cage]

remember the little commando guy? And that sweet ass woman in red alert? they could place some TNT in the base and kill an enemy with one shot. _o_

They were cool, but useless against enemy vehicles. Good to have in a fast transport though, for some hit-and-run guerilla tactics.

[MrMoen]

massive damage \o/

=D

That worked really well. I used that strategy a lot. Especially in Tiberiun Sun, where you had the underground APCs

I have a special Death Rally PC (Win98) and Dune runs fine on that one :P. But I believe you can get it running with VDMSound. Google it! :P
