Gamespot gave it a 9.0:

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/commandconquer3/review.html?sid=6168069& tag=topslot;title;2&om_act=convert&om_clk=topslot

I was actually expecting it to get lower, because Gamespot is made up of a bunch of eltists that only like shooters for the most part.

EDIT: IGN also just put up a review: http://pc.ign.com/articles/776/776061p1.html

PC Gamer UK gave it 82% compare to Supreme Commander's 90%. C&C3 may sell more because of its long established name.

Piracy makes things less expensive. Key in point - VHS tapes, back in the day vhs tapes for popular movies like back to the future would cost up to and around $120. Then VCR's hit the streets and wow! 20-25 bucks now, guess those tapes got cheaper to make all of the sudden.

Not true in every case but I dont ever recall games being any less than the standard we have right now. N64 was 49.99 for every game and a decent emulator like project 64 were no where to be found at that time.

Edit button was gone

Even though DVD's were always just above VHS in price the release dates are now sometimes less than a month from when a movie comes out in theaters....thanks to piracy.

So how does everyone like it? I myself love it, I hate to say that with it being a EA product and all but it will still have to be modded.

I started the single player Nodm issions yesterday and i really got that good old C&C3-feeling. I also feel that going through the missions will allow me to get a better sight on advantages and disadvantages of some units as all units aren't immediately unlocked Wink.

I had a little sneak peak at the Scrin in an easy skirmish, just to check out the units and it went quite well. The game is so intuitive that it will be easy to adapt to playing with them.

So many people buying C&C3

EA better make a C&C3

and since Renegade didn't really hit the spot. The more reason for EA to make a Renegade 2.

- Unmatched gameplay there is no game with the same settings as Renegade.
- Gameplay unique..

And so on If EA would make a Ren2 it would be another milions of dollars for EA

Played a skirmish yesterday with seven other AI's. They were all set to scrin at different difficulties. I wanted to see what they were like from the AI point of view first before playing them myself.

My only thing I see being a problem with them is not being able to tell the building apart. Their 'infantry' and 'vehicle' producing structures are nearly identical.

This game feels like a C&C game. To be honest, that's mostly all I wanted. Haven't found a whole lot of bugs yet, aside from the harvester getting stuck behind defenses instead of going around them in certain instances. Currently I'm playing Nod in the single player missions, up to the mission where you "ally" with GDI.

Not too fond of the blonde chick on Nod(doesn't seem radical enough), but the guy with the long hair is funny at times, and Kane is as big of a megalomaniac as he has ever been.

17 bucks for either but if your computer didn't come with a DVD rom then I don't think it would be able to play it anyway. BTW GDIDF - hehe

I have the same problem, even with the ion cannon it takes me like 5 seconds to pick a spot because I cant tell what is what.

For some reason, the patch downloader just locks up whenever I open it up. Is there anywhere I can get the patch other than the downloader?

Nah, my computer runs the game perfectly smooth on high detail, I just never got around to purchasing a DVD drive over the years; never really had need for one until now.

They have been having problems with anything related to the Online play or the patches. There is an article about it on CNCDEN.

CNCDEN News Article

EA Acknowledges Multiplayer Problems
Tue - Mar 27, 2007, 11:31 pm [EST] posted by Lion

C&C3 icon
At least EA is aware there's some big problems with the online segment of the C&C3 game. The following was posted by an EALA Dev Team member on the official C&C3 forums tonight:

I'm on the Dev team here at EALA. I apologize for the teething problems with Multiplayer; I fully acknowledge that we've had a bumpy start with the on-line lobbies. I hope you'll be patient as we work through the issues. We're actively tracking and working on the following problems right now:

1. Frequent disconnects while you are in the on-line lobbies

2. Occasional crashes when you switch between auto-match and custom match (and sometimes when you switch between lobbies in custom match)

3. Difficulty in browsing games or joining a game because the game list constantly refreshes and the slider bar jumps to the top of the game list scroll bar

We're also looking at why some of you are having problems with the patching system. We may contact you individually to get more information in order to help us make a fix.

We're looking at posting a new patch within the next day or two to address some of these issues. This is not a promise to post a fix for everything - just a promise to fix as much as we can as quickly as we can.

Please hang in there... we're working on the issues.

Like I said in my previous post, it's just day one. So hopefully they'll fix what needs fixin with a quickie patch. At least I know the problems weren't on my end. I did manage to watch a couple live C&C3 games tonight via the BattleCast feature that allows that. I saw one player using SCRIN, and he wooped up on the Nod player big time.
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
UPDATE: EA is working on the servers tonight. They'll be down from 8:45P.M. - 9:00P.M. (PST) They're doing some server changes that should hopefully reduce the number of lobby disconnects that folks have been seeing.

Good. I tried updating to 1.1 manually by getting the files from the FTP, but that didn't work very well.
