Command and Conquer 3

Demo, hmm. Might try this later, 1.2gb download, wonder how much disk space it needs.

[Incomplete]

Well its only a demo so once youve played it enough to get used to it or when it comes out you can just delete the demo and get your space back.

 

It said the file was 1gb

Hard Drive: 6.0 GB or more free space

I don't have 6gb, but isn't that the space needed for the full version?

[Synook]

The full version takes up 5.5 GB of space for me.

And it is an awesome game, FYI - not overly complicated but with a good campaign plot and great graphics.

[★ Dav]

6GB isn't a lot really, not when most of us have 250gig HDDs

[Incomplete]

6Gb is alot for the 360, good job it doesnt install it on there. only has 13gb

[Yavaris]

If you have the demo, you can also play NOD in skirmish by holding down N while selecting NOD from the dropdownmenu.

[Synook]

Right... weird...

In the full version, has anybody tried playing a skirmish against the Scrim? How annoying are their basic infantry units...

Just wondering, on the X-box 360 version, how do you select units, move them, and perform commands without a mouse?

 

Also, if anyone is considering getting Command and Conquer 3, keep in mind that it needs 512 MB of RAM, and by that, it actually needs it - when it runs, it fills up all 512 MB of RAM. Therefore, if you want to run anything else (i.e. host processes, firewall, s!@#$%^&* etc.) at the same time, I would suggest 2 GB of RAM, at least 1 GB minimum.

Good job i have 2gb RAM...

 

On the xbox you select your group of people simply by moving the camera over them and pressing A, to select all the groups of people in the screen i think you need to hold L and press A. Pretty simple really.

too bad the Wii doesnt have a good wnough gfx card... otherwise this would be the Wii GOTY!

[Synook]

Really? What graphics card does the Wii run on? I'm surprised it cannot support the game...

[Incomplete]

The Wii is more about gameplay rather than graphics in my opinion. Just like the DS

[Synook]

Well... true... I suppose... although the Wii has been more successful than the DS

FYI, I was looking in the Command & Conquer 3 folders, and I discovered that by far the largest contributor to its size is the movie files, totaling in at 3.4 GB! The actual "core" is only 1.5 GB. Which crazy person had the idea of adding hours of cut-scenes in games...

[Incomplete]

Do you need the disk to play it on the PC?

[Synook]

Yes

Yup, which is why the DS has done a !@#$%^&* of a lot better than the PSP (ON THE GAME SIDE! i dont give a !@#$%^&* if the PSP can play movies and music, that's what i have a iPod and portable DVD player for... and i hate the stupid UMD format... but that's a story for another topic)

actually, what makes it worse is that the movies are in HD. and have you seen the repotoire (sp?) of actors? you have the Lando (?not sure if its Lando.. but he was in Star Wars) guy from Star Wars, and the original Kane actor, and a bunch of other well known movie/tv actors.

Can't you just delete the movies to save space? Wouldn't it just skip the movies when it comes to them or would it come up with an error?

Only if you dont visit www.gamecopyworld.com ^^

 

Also the nice people that released Supreme Commander totaly removed thier copy protection in one of thier very first patches.

that means i can get it for free?!

[Incomplete]

Yeah, you can download the game, get a no cd crack (Or use Daemon) and a serial gen if ones needed.

[Synook]

Sigh... how illegal

I actually don't know - I haven't tried (just in case it breaks my version (do you know how long it takes to install? )). But... maybe... search around.

[Incomplete]

Anyone played both versions? As in the PC and the Xbox 360?

 

Can't find anything on the net about deleting the movie files.

[★ Admiral Kirk]

You know... You _could_ just rename the movie files, instead of deleting them...

[Synook]

True... but then, what is the point?
