Phoenix Network Forums

It's been a while since my last post of a game, so I thought lets write another one! I started playing Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars like 2 or 3 days ago. As usual you get to pick from GDI or NOD as your team, but on this sequel you get one extra team. Called the "Scrin" (alien race).

Started by doing the tutorial, it's pretty much the same way you control your team as every other Real Time Strategy game. Don't bother doing the tutorial if you've played any RTS's before.
Next thing I did was of course the "Campaign mode". You can compare it with story mode. If you have played any game from the Command and Conquer series you should know that this mode is about clearing objectives.

The 3rd mode lets you play a friendly match against the CPU. And the last one is network play, which contains play on the internet and playing on a lan network. Another option is to use hamachi* to create your own Virtual private lan network and play with your friends instead of playing with random people on the internet.

If you are a real RTS-fan you should buy this game, it is worth the money.

ps. If anyone has this game and wants to play, just reply here and I'll setup a vpn with hamachi for Phoenix.

Oh well
Always played strategy games, and heard lot of people was looking for this one.

6 GB of games, i feel it should be pretty awesome. Btw, i should buy a new HDD..

Howeverm, as soon as possibile i'll go fo' it, and if it won't be too late, i think we could might enjoy some online game

I often play this with my friends, sometimes the games are good but i'm the worst player so i get usually defeated quickly

I've only got the demo right now, awesome RTS though, just as good as C&C should be.
