Command & Conquer 3 Producer Blog

by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 31, 2007 8:19am PDT

The official Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars website has been updated, offering a new producer blog. In it, EA's Mike Verdu mentions the multiplayer problems some people have been encountering, saying "Some of you can't connect to C&C Online and others are having issues once on-line. This is unacceptable, especially for a product that we designed for competitive multiplayer game play". Verdu notes that more patches are on the way.

I wonder if he considers 'unacceptable' the so-so graphics and animatons along with the complete lack of any kind of creativity or innovation in this latest C&C debacle?

Playing this game on a A64 3200+, GF6800GT in 1280*960 and high details and everything runs smoothly. I'm really surprised by the performance of C&C 3.

In addition, this game is really fun, although some missions seem to be way to easy, even on hard.

EA really managed to mix classical C&C design and modern gameplay.

Does anyone else have a problem beating the medium ai on the demo skirmish? This is one thing keeping me from buying this game. I am so utterly spastic. That I'll get creamed online.

Nope. The AI isn't really hard (at least not in medium skirmish and hard single player) - and I don't play RTS regularly. Actually I think the AI is pretty weak.

the only thing this game has over the original c&c (besides graphics) is the ion cannon blows the hell out of a entire base now. otherwise its the same crap.

testify.... I just got done playing a 3v3 with some friends, all the armies were represented, and i have to say (granted I have ab 8800 gts card) it is a damn good looking game with all the effects on and running smooth, it looked like a sci-fi Armageddon towards the end. The Scrin are possibly the coolest looking army i have seen in an RTS when they are at full power.

Standard Producer Blog:

Day: Got in at 11:30am, cruised the net for 30min, went to a 3hr company-paid lunch, got back at 3pm, had pointless meeting where I displayed my complete lack of any development knowledge, left early while the team worked overtime. Again.

Repeat for entire project.

Gamespys multiplayer service strikes again!

THQ ditched them pretty quickly, but for some crazy reason EA have stayed with the good ship GSI even though every game they release using their tech is bogged down by multiplayer issues. Must just be a bottom line thing.

good to know they want to address some of the MP issues.. I haven't had any problems personally. I hope they stay on top of updates for a change.
