Command & Conquer 3 Demo Preview

That's a pretty stupid preview. Besides the fact that they're previewing a demo, all they do is tell us obvious things like:

1. AI in hard mode is hard.
2. If you don't wanna play multiplayer, the AI might be good enough.
3. Some map looks like a small town.
4. The demo contains this and that.

Basically all the crap that would be in the readme.txt file for the demo. How about telling us how the game feels, what it plays like, whether it's fun or not, how it runs, how it looks in motion, etc., etc.

What a useless waste of internet space.

Demo out today?

rumours of 10am PST?

I don't get all of the shitting-on of C&C Generals on this site. It combined the unit balance and faction diversity of Starcraft with the firepower and explosions of TA. The factions' basing off of real-world ones with some fantastical twists made for an even more enjoyable game to me, moreso than the sci-fi-ish ones of the original C&C or especially the pure sci-fi robots of TA. The units of Generals had personality, the factions had weapons and weaknesses you would expect, and the game was overall a lot of fun to play because of the hard-counter units. USA's intelligence network was more than just a feature - it was integral to their playstyle. GLA's micromanagement and turtling strategies could, if played properly, cripple even the strongest attack against them.

I can't find much more to be excited about with C&C3 because I feel like Generals already did the formula SO well, but I will end up playing it for sure.

Sounds like you can't play as NOD in the demo. WHAT THE FUCK EA GIMME SOME GODDAMN NOD ACTION NOW!!!

CoH still > *

I wish they would have gotten John Madden to do the instant replays after online battles.

Much hilarity would ensue.

a preview of a demo......yea that deserves a laugh. less talk, more demo please!

Woot for the demo!

I'l be playing this one for sure.

But when the full game comes, I'll be mostly expecting just the FMV sequences, those have always been the most important parts for me in C&C games.

They're cranking up the hype machine on this one. I've seen two trailers for the game so far and only the alien race looks remotely cool and graphically interesting. The original two factions (Nod and GDI) don't look all that fantastic. In a gaming scene that includes Supreme Commander, Dawn of War, and most applicably Company of Heroes, do we even need a C&C 3? I'm all for tons of great games but unless they do some things terribly different or uniquely, I'm not that interested. No offense to the devs.

They've been advertising this one for so long I thought it already came out and was in the bargain bin by now

...the FUCK?! A DEMO preview?! Talk about a cocktease.

jesus christ... enough with talk of the demo, put it out there and let the friggin gamers decide already.

MP and SP content... ahh if only all demos had such a thing

Does anyone read these articles before they're posted on IGN? Geesh, what a utterly useless grouping of words. He told us absolutely nothing about what makes the game fun/different, or how it expands on traditional C&C. Not to mention the spelling and grammar errors. Pathetic.

It's like a linear demo of the demo.

Pretty sure the demo is single player only.
