I just beat the campaign last night.

I really enjoyed that it follows only one storyline. Similar to what War3 and Starcraft have done versus War2 or Tib. Sun.

They leave absolutely no question that there will be an expansion or at least a sequel.

It was more fun than I thought initially as well.

Hopefully they add some super units for the Nod and GDI this go around. (like your commando and true mammoth tanks) 

Young Obi Wan!!!!

"Hmmm, Lost a pants Obi Wan has, how embarrassing."

I saw this on another thread. And promptly stole the idea. Because I wanted to see we can come up with on this site.

So, it works like this, you take a quote from the holy trilogy, or the other 3 Star Wars movies and exchange one word (only one) with pants. Then the next person must say who was the original quotee and from which movie.



"Slimy? Mudhole!? My pants this is!!!"

Ok... You gotta see this to believe it. Microsoft Surface.

Could be. Especially easy if they did as they said, cut and paste the old units basically and throw in a few new tricks.

But, I never give Blizzard benefit of the the doubt when it comes to release dates. Although, I prefer that to the typical EA strategy, throw as many games at the wall as physically possible and hope a few of em stick, maybe even create a version 1.2 for some of em and of course a pricey expansion, but nothing else.

Seattle? I am going there for the first time this summer, then for a drive along the Pacific coast highway in a long run home. I am kinda excited for that.

I am also going to Chicago this week and Moab next week.

I never get to stay put.

You can also play as NOD, simply take control of their main building, it will give you a feel for it if nothing else.

And don't discredit the hulking Avatar walker, you can use it to "eat" any other unit and gain that units abilities in addition to its main beam cannon.

EA is saving the Scrin for the game, you can find nothing on them anywhere at this point but a few teasers.

However, the game was made to not be a teching war. C&C 3 is set up to be over in less than 15 minutes of play. Which is kind of refreshing in a lot of ways if you want to just play a quick one, you can do so, without having to set aside a whole hour. And if you want to tech and have a long battle, that ability is there as well.

I prefer the 1 superweapon and long time limit. It basically ends the game now, as it would in real life.  So, unlike in generals where you could have one out in 3 minutes and a full base defense, and nuke someone 5 times and still not kill them.....it doesn't work that way anymore. I loved generals though.. one of the few I suppose.

FWIW
