A demo for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars has been released, showcasing some of the action in what'll probably be one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year. Download it locally from AusGamers.

Hey I hope they nerf the aurora bombers in this patch. I mean... what?

jesus f*** me god... its 1.2 gig for 3 or 4 missions.... i dont understand how they use that much space for a friggin demo

so it's not a mp demo? I got a lan this weekend that this could have been good for :/

it's a sp demo

cutscenes....

Having sound issues with it atm.. Anyone else?

The C&C series has always pushed the boundary with storage.

I think C&C came on one CD whereas only tech-demo games like Sherlock Holmes came on CDRom at that stage.

C&C 2 was the first mainstream game to come on two CDs

With that in mind i wouldn't be suprised if they went out and made C&C3 2xDuallayer DVDs :-)

C&C games always had a disc for each side..

oh yeah... that was cool. good demo.
cutscenes rox my sox...
music doesnt hold a candle to original cnc :(
gameplay was... hmm i forget...

but, goddamn those cutscenes were great.

That demo sold me...C&C is back!

I got bored during skirmish and hit exit.

music doesnt hold a candle to original cnc :(

This is the first (that I can recall) game in the series that Frank Klepacki hasn't done the music :(

Tiberium Dawn is my #1 game of all time - I was hoping this would have heaps of remixs of the original music (ie, Rain in the night, Radio, Demolition, Act on Instinct, C&C Thang etc).

God damn this game runs well and is fun, big thumbs up

hell march > hell march 2

I'm getting a slight black flicker on the screen every now and then, anyone else getting it?

a64 3500 and 7900gt with 91.31 drivers.

This game rocks!

While it's a (minor) hit to your performance, there's nothin stopping you from putting the music on mute, and queuing up an MP3 playlist of all the music from C&C and RA. :D

(The guy who scored C&C3 also does the incidental music for Desperate Housewives :P )


This demo is great. Made me forget all the crapness and unfun of C&C2.

Roll on end-of-march.


PS. Is it me, or did they screw up the Ion Cannon? Eye Candy aside, it's too poweful - it shouldn't be like the nuke. One of the best things about the first C&C was the two sides were *NOT* carbon-copies of each other.

Absolutely Awesome! Although i'm a bit of a fanboy, They have definately improved on C&C2!

I say this a lot but it was no company of heroes/DoW. Maybe I am over the old wait for a nuke to count down / build 100 mammoth tanks game play.

I was however supremely impressed with the quality of the engine build, the game was totally different to what you come to expect with EA games, ie sluggish and laggy, this was crisp as and looked totally fantastic in the graphics department.

Heh this was the first thing that struck me, and it was the opposite. Even running at 1920x1200 it was still painfully obvious that its the Generals engine with just new effects. The UI is absolutely massive and your view of the battlefield zoomed out as far as it will go still only shows you an extremely small amount of the battlefield. The art department needs big wraps on the work done in the environment and units though, after the blandness that was the SupCom maps and units it looks really good.

To me the bar was raised with DoW and CoH and neither of the 2 new kids on the block come close.

what's the exact size of the file you downloaded, in bytes?
it should be 1,265,430,528

i think the game looks great, but really needs teh ability to zoom out a little bit further. like someone already said, at max zoom its still tooo close to the action.. very hard to organize things when you can end up with an army that fills 3/4 of the screen. i dont think ti would be a difficult thing for them to do though, so maybe we'll see it in a patch.

fkn good. btw posting from wii

eye candy is good but got bored playing it.. felt like any other C&C

WFT.

They should ditch the C&C series and just make RA games.

f***in w0rd

Super Demo pro tip: When selecting team you can play nod by mousing over Nod and pressing 'n'.
Just tried it then

Skirmish only.

how does it compare to CoH?

I loved c&c and red alert, but I did kind of yawn when I fired this demo up and played it

any starforce copy protection in this demo like that trackmania demo? why there's copy protection in a demo I'll never know.

I don't think starforce3 was around when they planned this game.

infi, what was ur COH username again? mines 'ctdau' - ill give you a game or anyone else. Play hamachi or whatever if you dont have legit version.

Runs like balls on my computer :(

Might give me an excuse to upgrade, havent done one in a long time, been spending too much money on my Fourby :o

suspension lift and front locker first, computer upgrade second

deffinately wouldn't be upgrading my computer to play this game

not worth it, for this game specifically i'm sure there are plenty of others worth it though :p

Incase anyone hasn't noticed yet, you can play as NOD and set your opponent to GDI.

Just go to the race select bit, put your cursor over NOD and then hit 'N' on your keyboard. Then left click and it'll switch to NOD. You can use the same method with 'G' to switch the AI to GDI.

I dunno.. it just doesn't seem very fun after playing coh

Umm can someone explain to me why this demo wants to install Active Sync 4.2 ? wtf

Pre-ordered my "Kane Edition" the other day. 5 extra maps, new skins for the troops, the making DVD, as well as a bloopers DVD of all the cut scenes all for the same price.

cool!

where from Tanaka?

f***ing lol at Sawyer playing a nod dude

EB Games at Garden City koopz.

How's my 486 with 16 meg of ram meant to run this? j/k

This is the most retarded post ever. not j/k.

I'm going to preorder mine tomorrow! Can't wait, I LOVE C&C!

I noticed that honey that plays 'Cameron' in House makes a few appearances..


it's hardly game of the year material, but it's going to be great fun playing lan and vpn with old mates. it'll be good to see if one can host their own net server without the need for a vpn this time.


generals was a pain in the ass for that

I have a lan this week to attend at a mates on the goldie, is this game actually out yet or just the demo? Wouldn't mind buying it to have a bash over network if so~

29th of March is the release.

its paddy;s day



and we arelsiting o fjstrex

wrong thread dude :)

I just had a go at this after forgetting I'd installed it. The mouse buttons are the other way around compared to C&C generals :(

Just as I get used to one C&C game another comes out, will it never end. On the up side, it looks pretty sexy.
