Default Command and Conquer 3

I played the demo (you can get it off the official site, 1.2Gb) and was impressed at how good looking it was while retaining the old school C&C feel. Cinematics are awesome and the game plays like a charm.

I'm dazzled by the size right now, not that it matters much though, but there are a few interface/gameplay things that are missing (such as sequencial commands on a unit or stack) and I'm afraid it'll turn out into same old Red Alert with another name.

So I'm curious wether anyone from here is going to play this. I know my Warcraft 3 friends are all drooling over it and I certainly will get it myself.

Sounds interesting. I'll definitely give it a try soon.

I've playered Command & Conquer a lot! But I was disappointed about Red Alert, mainly because of the graphics. Command & Conquer's units and buildings looked way better.

I've never liked C&C for some reason and mainly have been playing Supreme Commander.

The campaign sucks giant Monkey Balls, but the interface and online play are simply amazing.

It's good! It's really good! Finally they've made a sequel worth buying.

Yeah I couldn't get through the whole single player on hard filling all objectives - not without losing my temper - so I was really satisfied. Props on Jennifer Morisson and Tricia Helfer videos too.

A shame the GameSpy (or whatever the name) multiplayer blows so much. It takes on average 4 reconnects each to get a game going with my friends so that everyone is stable on their network. It's a charm on LAN though.

It feels a lot like StarCraft race- and balance-wise, but I guess that's good. It works.
