I liked it a lot. Here's the "bad things" -list:
-Too many of those special weapons on the left bar. No need to have the same unit available in two ways in my opinion.
-I kind of miss the fog of war.
-Bad music.
-Finally, the biggest difference with modern RTS when compared to older ones is the lack of grids. In RA you could easily line your units in any formation. Beautiful. Now you'll have troubles just lining two tanks next to each others quickly. It's the one thing I miss the most, and for me, it's probably the most important factor that makes a game feel like C&C.
Kanezor:
So, if they can't change aesthetics because it won't be C&C anymore, and they can't change gameplay because it won't be C&C anymore, then what CAN they change? Nothing Just add new unit models? Yeah, let's wait for C&C4 next, which comes with RA1 textures and game engine...if you liked those games, they're still available you know, just stick to them.
Or maybe it's just the usual "too old" syndrome, which makes us love our childhood games immensely, and as a result, every new version of them sucks. I should know...*looks at Descent 1*
There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

I FOUND OUT HOW TO PLAY AS NOD IN THE DEMO
u can play as nod by highlighting it in the menu, then press n and click the icon at the same time, u can also do this with the ai by the corresponding starting letter, the scrin does not really work beacuse only the side bar was put in
It also works with AI personality too.
|
Also, I have a problem. It randomly crashes during Skirmish and immediatly crashes when I start a mission 
Can anyone help with this one?
EDIT: Apperently someone already said how to do this (to play as Nod). Oh well, still will stay here for anyone who didn't see the topic (like me)

I'm getting my full retail version free from EA. I just hope I can get it from EA Link instead of waiting for them to ship it to us. I'm about to hop into the demo and check it out now. I hope it will play well... EA gave all the Community Summit attendees free high-end video cards from nVidia so we'd be able to enjoy it. I'm not sure my old Ti4800SE would have handled this well.

Does it just crash to desktop? or as in PC crash? If so try to increase your virtual paging memmory. Also post your system info.

I wish EA would stop using the Sage engine and move onto something else, C&C3 looks and feels like a modded generals. I play a lot of generals mods and all this seems to be is a new toolbar and a replacement of models and teams.
Also I despise squads, Dawn of war and a lot of games are using the squad system now and I hate it. I would like to just send one man out to scout or to take a derrick, not this massive shift of units across the battle field.
The menu system is all the same, just look at the multiplayer screen.
That being said, I'm glad they are trying to bring back the gold.
EDIT: I went and reviewed some of these pages and my post didn't bring anything new to the discussion but at least I got to say it too.

It's a Generals mod exception of the ingame movies. meh > Reborn and Renalert > the closest if will ever come to a Renegade 2 I said it before and ile say it again. Some people anoyed about me making a quote download Renegade 2 from www.renalert.com because it's not really a Renegade 2 the so called C&C3 isnt otherwise.
me
pro's
-Ingame cut scens
-The menu with the music felt tiberian sun/futuristic
Cons
-ingame to much generals like
-I prefer the generals taunts over the taunts of the nod/gdi taunts.
-the mouse right/left click thingy ( probably be fixed from what I read?)
-ingame music from what I heard doesnt even come close to tibsun's music.

Left/Right click will be fixed in the games first patch (as well hopefully the wall).
They got rid of the old music director, so thats why the music is not as good as it was in the original c&c series.
I also miss the old shroud.
The first mod I make well get rid of the squads, and put a build limit on the factories (one unit at a time).

Not true. Supreme Commander is a successor to Total Annihilation... well, more like a revamped version of Total Annihilation since the original game barely received the recognition it deserved. I think it is very well done and it still remains faithful to the original, along with its own feeling.

Why would you put a build limit? That's ridiculous. Being able to tell it to build more than one unit at a time was one of the best features ever added to RTS's.
|
And destroys the uniqueness of the C&C series.

You're saying the destruction of C&C started with Tiberian Sun?

I finally got around to playing this demo for a few hours and am happy to say I will be purchasing this game. I am very pleased with the gameplay, textures are nice too (can't say better graphics, its the same engine), and really neat effects.
Of course, my favorite thing in the whole thing is the Ion Cannon Strike. I think they did an outstanding job on it.
Though, I want them to bring back the walls. Their claim was it did not suit the fast paced gameplay, but I say it would, its not that fast paced (as they seem to make it look like), and as a classic C&C fan, having walls is a must.

I completely agree with that. Part of the entire Command & Conquer series was the art of creating a unique base. Without walls, I can't make bases like I used to, not to mention that now it kind of has the feeling of a sloppy setup.
