The demo for C&C:3, which was supposed to be released next week, I thought, was released today. I've been looking forward to this far more than Supreme Commander (and since I was disappointed w/ SC, I hope this is better!)

I won't be getting this until tomorrow, as I'm leaving for home and have dialup there, but I'll download this tomorrow and have thoughts up either tomorrow night or Wednesday @ the latest.

You were disappointed with SC? Then I bet you'll be disappointed with C&C 3 too haha just kidding. Let us know when the demo comes out, I can never have enough RTS games.

In general, I don't like RTS games as much. I've got a love of C&C and WC and StarCraft b/c they're the old favorites from when I was a kid, but I tend not to like new games as much. I probably won't care for C&C that much, but for some reason Supreme Commander just didn't do it for me. I found it a bit hard to control, as with such a big map size, a bit too much to wrap my head around, i guess. overwhelming, maybe.

Oops...I thought I edited this and added the link right after the original posting last night...my bad..

Here's teh link, and I'll add it up above, too.

Check the PC gaming forums. You will see two threads with the same name.

Ooooh. I was looking for 2 posts in the same thread.

This is what I get for trying to mess around with my forum on 14.4 cellphone modem dialup :P

That does make sense. I have a feeling that Im leading in the same direction. I was at first bored by the game, but I guess my kid inside me came out enough to enjoy it.

But what do I know, Im only 19 :)

Finally got to spend some time on this, and I've got to say that I was thoroughly enjoying it. Visually, it's just as good as Supreme Commander. There's more of the squad-based units instead of being able to control each individual unit.

If you're familiar with C&C, you'll feel right at home. I'm not sure when EA/westwood decided to do this, but they finally standardized their controls and made right-click the go-to button. Yeah!

I'll try and get screenies tonight, but right now I'll just leave it at this: I haven't purchased a new RTS game since WoW & FT came out. This will probably end that drought.

I was watching my friend play the demo and I have to say, I must've been playing too much of Supreme Commander to like this game. Its totally different in a negative way. All of my friends decided not to get it and stick with Supreme Commander till we get tired of the game or when the price drops.
