It feels a bit slapdash acting/plotwise, but i still like it....................

The third race seems slapped on but the tripods make me smile

Nuttin' beats a Mammoth rush!

I finally got it running properly on my computer (I guess I had leftover driver hell because I had to reinstall windows and now all is well) and yeah its a blast...cheesy but a blast.  The Tripods are hilarious and terrifying at the same time...love those things.

I tried the demo...found it to be too much like the original C&C to waste my time on it.

I played this some time ago. The game was generally excellent, one of the few genuinely good games I've played in recent years, although the Nod ending sucked. However, the multiplayer had some glitches despite being fun, and the ladder rankings system was all messed up last I checked. I don't know if they ever changed it, as it has been a few months since I last played. I still want to try to mod it like I did with the older games.

Had a go at it, but I only bothered to play the GDI campaign, didn't play multi since mine was borrowed. And it was kinda weird to see "Welcome back" when I've only played RA2YR...

To me, the tripod just feels so... weak... I'd rather send in warships backed by a whole force of medium tanks and light vehicles (the Mammoth usually slows the whole group down, so I just send one or two and relegate the rest to base defense... park right next to the war factory XD ). Or better still, just drop all three superweapons right on top of the enemy MCV.

Combined-arms tactics!

I played the demo. It felt so weird playing an RTS like that. Clumsy, perhaps. I've spent too much time with Dawn of War and Company of Heroes.

the Nod ending sucked.

How very very very true  !!!


Kane lives in death!! but what a twat endingwise.........

[Stormkeeper]

Er. You guys updated your C&C yet? Cuz the latest patch adds a motherload of balancing and other stuff. Really makes the game tick now. The tripods fare better now... Plus i use tripods with a mastermind, 'port them next to the CY or important stuff for a surgical strike.

I think it may well be the single worst ending I've ever seen in a game. It seriously makes you wonder why the game is not loading the next mission properly. The other endings were better though.

[Stormkeeper]

I'm pretty sure the Nod ending was Kane about to introduce the Nod Commander (you) to the Inner Circle. And if that doesn't scream 'EXPANSION COMING!' to you, the scrin ending should.

[CP5670]

You're already in the inner circle at that point. I think he is supposed to take you into the Scrin gateway thing. It's obvious that they have an expansion pack planned, but that doesn't make the ending any better.

[Stormkeeper]

-shrug- Baldy egomaniac ftw.

[Colonol Dekker]

Yeah i got the impression we were about to

Spoiler:

go through a gate too.

Kane is still cool, but he seems to be getting on a bit, his firey temper seems to have quelled since getting stabbed.

PS- GDI mission, where you have to hold until the MCV arrives, Keeps kicking my ass, Croatia i think. (god i love the new MCV's on both sides by the way-nod especially)

[TrashMan]

Turn the power on for turets immediately.. That will save your behind... Get APC's with rocket infantry...get defense towers..get regular infantry and dig them in - secure the bridge (lower-left of hte base)

[Stormkeeper]

Like he said, get sonic emitters running then dig in. You seriously gonna take some heavy flak on that one. You should get Firehawks up asap as well, Devastators have a much longer range than any AA tower in the game, plus Firehawks own at AA duty,.

Tell me more...

Dude, you only fight the NOD in the Croatia mission... you must be thinking about another mission...Berlin maby?

[IceFire]

Yeah Coratia is a pre-Scrin mission.  Its a real tough mission...you just have to keep rotating the power on the various turrets as the NOD attack waves come through.  APC's with rocket infantry and Predator tanks along with a fair bit of the basic infantry are the best thing you can do.  Try and keep as many towers intact as possible.

Rotating? I had enough power for them all - you got to start reparing that power plant ASAP.
