Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars — Hawtsome!

Alright, so, yeah. The C&C3 demo was released today. Now, if you’ve never met me before–then I don’t know why you’re reading this blog.

Anyway, if you’ve never met me before, or don’t know much about me, I love Command & Conquer. I own every single game in the C&C series (other than C&C3, ’cause it’s not released yet) twice. Yes. That’s right. Twice. Let me demonstrate:

  • Command & Conquer Gold Edition (x 2, soon to be times three, since the Kane Edition of C&C3 comes with it)
  • Command & Conquer: Covert Operations (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert (x 2, and also on the PlayStation)
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert – Counterstrike (x 2, also on the PlayStation with Aftermath as “Red Alert: Retaliation”)
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert – Aftermath (x 2, also on the PlayStation with Counterstrike as “Red Alert: Retaliation”)
  • Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (Platinum Edition once, normal once. Effectively x 2, it’s just that the Platinum edition rocks.)
  • Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Renegade (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 Yuri’s Revenge (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Generals (x 2)
  • Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour (x 2)

Anyway… now back to my post.

C&C 3 rocks. It just rocks. Imagine, if you will, Tiberian Dawn + Tiberian Sun + Battle for Middle-earth II + Zero Hour – The crappy parts of Zero Hour + All the C&C lore – the parts that make no sense due to EA not caring about the storyline – Kane’s face-mask – Kane/CABAL ending of Firestorm + Techs from every single C&C game (save Sole Survivor or Renegade) all thrown together into a giant mass of awesome mayhem; in HD = C&C 3.

Yes, there are down-sides.

I’ve encountered three glitches (or what I assume to be glitches, and not some evil NOD tech) wherein my Zone Troopers decide to randomly kill themselves, and stop responding to my commands. Hell, I can’t even click ‘em. They just murder each other.

Incredibly awesome NOD tech that makes your super-expensive squads of infantry (6 squads of Zone Troopers, at $1200 a piece) murder each other… or glitch?

Either way, C&C 3 still rocks.

Anyway, this post is over. I’ve gots to go get me some C&C3 in before I go to bed! ;)

Oh, one last thing. I pre-ordered the C&C3 Kane Edition from EBGames/Gamestop today. Hurrah for me! :D

    Hey i think the problem you encounter wit your zone troopers is only when your playing against scrin for the little mind control guy might be doing somthing to your players. if not im not sure but its jsut a suggestion.

    nerd?

    Thanks for the comment, asdaseq.

    Anyway, Ben Tiessen, the problem with the Zone Troopers only ever happened versus Nod in the demo.

    There weren’t even Scrin units, like the Mastermind.

    i’ve had a glitch where my firehawks went strato and blew up where they descended. It was on empty land.

    Interesting, Donut. C&C3 seems to be the glitchiest of the series, but that’s probably ’cause it was handled entirely by EA this time around.

    Aaah, the wonders of google, searching for C&C3 throws me this site randomly ^_^

    Since I’m just passing, I should leave a comment, I to encountered the zone-trooper glitch (Or deliberate) action against the NOD just this morning. On the Cairo mission, after I’d negated the nuclear missile launcher my 6 squads of Zoners were attacked by some tibmerium enhanced zealots, after the zealots died they left behind a green tiberium cloud, the zoners in the middle of this cloud suddenly because controlless and shot each other to the last man (Or, last two men – they shot each other).
    I, at the time, thought it was something deliberate.

    It astounds me how many people find this random post on my blog about the same problem. I’m still convinced it’s just some weird glitch, but since the latest patch has come out, I haven’t encountered the issue again, so.. who knows.

    Thanks for stopping by. ;)

    No, you see, the nod infantry guy has this leader you can upgrade at the secret shrine, he throws hallugenic grenades of some sort that makes your troops go crazy.

    I guess that to get the http://lowest-rate-loans.com from creditors you should present a good reason. Nevertheless, one time I have received a bank loan, because I wanted to buy a bike.
