The demo itself is a pretty solid amount of gameplay as far as demos go. Those of you that choose to download the thing will have the opportunity to play through one tutorial mission, two campaign missions, and one skirmish map on four difficulty settings. Depending on the difficulty you play the game at, it could take an hour or more to get through the tutorial and game missions. Skirmish adds quite a bit of life to the party as well. There's only one map, but it'll help you all get to know the game.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm downloading this now (63%). I can't wait to watch the live action cut scenes... Ooh, the nostalgia!

Casting:
* Josh Holloway (Lost) will appear as a Nod Intelligence officer by the name of Ajay
* Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica) will be cast as a character named Kilian Qatar
* Michael Ironside (Top Gun, Starship Troopers, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series) as the Global Defense Initiative's Lieutenant General Jack Granger
* Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back) as GDI Director Redmond Boyle
EDIT: * Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica) as Lt. Sandra Telfair
* Ivana Bozilovic (Wedding Crashers) as Kirce James

Jennifer Morrison (House M.D.) has apparently been casting as this same character, as seen in a promotional recruitment video for the GDI. According to IMDB, the role of the character of Kirce James is casted solely by actress Jennifer Morrison

* Shauntay Hinton (Criminal Minds) as the reporter Brittany Bhima

    Hopefully it hasn't fallen way of Oblivion and wasted half its budget on big name actors instead of a solid game.

    The guy playing Yuri in RA2 should take his role...

    Sawyer reminds me of Lost. therefore he should not be in C&C3

    Played it, didn't interest me. It has to compete against the likes of CoH and SupComm, and it simply does nothing new. You'd basically be playing it for the story line only, and not for the interesting and useful new tactical and strategic toys you get to play with in SP and MP.

    2.6ghz, 1gb ram, radeon X800... runs perfectly, although the fights don't get that big in the demo. The ion cannon effect is pretty large though, and there was no slowdown with that.

    I've gotta agree with Aldaris, sadly. It doesn't seem to do anything wrong, exactly, but there's nothing "woo" about it either.
    But since I was planning on getting it solely because Kane is in it, this doesn't bother me much anyway <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    It appears to be quiet solid and polished, but like other people have said, offers nothing new. The biggest plus is the GUI, having access to making all units/buildings in the top right is very nicely done (maybe is has been done before, just the first time I have seen it).

    Maybe I'll get it someday, but didn't peak my interest enough with basically no new features or gameplay.

    Uh, heck yes it's been done before. I believe the first game to do it was Dune 2, which was back in 1992. So C&C3's not exactly innovative in that regard.

    Totally different system. In Dune 2, you had to click on the applicable building, then click on the building's icon. The game is paused, and you scroll through until you find the unit/building you want, and then you click on the build button. You are then taken back to the game. C&C3, it's a series of tabs, for every choice you have in the game in front of you, without messing around.

    I've no reason to be surprised by the lackluster reaction to C&C3. Everyone was all "omg omg omg c&c2 will si teh pwn!", falling for all the hype and glitz. I saw no reason to drool over it. I've always been a fan of the universe so I'll probably pick that demo up sometime, once it's mirrored off fileplanet.

    True, however I personally found the gameplay refreshingly "retro". It feels like s a throwback to an era of cheap, disposable units where you fling them at the enemy with resulting in a "down-and-dirty" feel. You don't rely on any "hero" units, nor do you have to micromanage your units much.

    Best way is just to load 20 squads of infantry inside apcs then rush and unload the squad just before the apc explodes. Cheap, fast and reliable carnage. Gotta admit that the mammoth is helluva fun with railgun upgrade though.

    As said before, supcom is the better rts but this was pretty ok.

    It's Command & Conquer.

    That is, it feels like C&C, not just another RTS (like Generals felt). I don't quite know what makes it just *feel* like something, but it does. So if you liked other C&C games, you'll like this.

    Plus it has the old live action cut scenes back, which were frankly the only reason I ever played C&C (not that I don't like it, I'm just not that big an RTS fan).

    With Michael Ironside. And the original Kane.

    I've played Red Alert 1 and 2, as well as the Tiberium series, and It's just like, not trying to be a realistic RTS game. just listen to the music in the past games and you know what I mean. Generals was so out there for me because it was too serious of a game compared to other Westwood products. I liked those live action cut scenes, the rock/techno music, and the over the top characters. It felt like some sort of action movie...

    Another thing I miss terribly was Westwood's first and only MMORPG, Earth and Beyond. It's just one of those really, really unique MMORPG that no one wants to try to make. The market is flooded with all this Fantasy bullish right now...
