C&c3 Tiberium Wars Is Out!

[heslo]

Yep, just got a call from my local EB games where I had the Kane Edition on pre-order, went and picked it up and just had a blast the last few hours playing it! Anyone else get it yet?

[Vermin]

Yep i got it the day it was released... well actually the day before as they released it early. I love mammoth tank

[Kaido_RR]

got it keeps crashing on my laptop :@

[heslo]

Got the latest drivers? Patched to 1.03?

[someonestolecc]

Haven't had a chance to look at the name of the mission but is that the one where u need to rescue the convoy and keep your base in one piece so the construction truck can setup camp there? Cause I've played it like 5 times and almost got it back to base but at the last minute and insurgence of nod attacks it... will keep trying but loving the game. Played the Skirmish and selected teh "Alien" race man so nice looking vessels in there army as well as that Tiberium Regenerator saves wasting all that time for it naturally to form.

that's the one.. it's insane... i mean i thought i could take out the base north of it, but even that's so heavily fortified. :S

Didn't even look @ the base at the north?

I manage to take out all the defenses its just right down south of the map there must be a whole clan of em down there or something cause when i got the construction vehicle back to the bridge thats when they ambushed. Will have to try to build more harvesters first and just build crap loads of infantry and vehicles to defend the base and at the same time attack theres...

I've been stuck on that level for 3 days now.

Try doing a suicide mission just to search out the map and workout what is where. Instead of defending your base move your guys out and block off the 2 bridges + 2 access points for the north base, that way they don't get close to your base and potentially damage it. I build 3 harvesters to get enough money to keep me going but even then I can't hold them back long enough to get my reinforcements over.

[Howie]

I just completed that mission YAY! 1hr 14mins.

The trick is, get some rifle guys to DIG IN to the SOUTH and WEST straight away. Enable those the turrets to the S and W also.

Then get a rifle guy to dig in NORTH, and evacuate that trench. Once evacuated fill it with rocker launcher guys. As soon as possible build a second harvester. Then start some Predator production. Hold off the vehicles to the EAST and NORTH with the rocket launchers and predators.

As soon as possible build some APCs... and load some with engineers and some with rocket launchers. Once you have enough tanks and APCs rush the northern base, take out the defences, and capture their construction yard with your engineers. Now they can't produce vehicles to attack you to the North and East, so concentrate all your defences South and West. Build a harvester on the captured site. And build some NOD defences on your main base, they're good at taking out foot artillery.

The rest is straighforward, take out the south eastern base, then free your convoy to the north. Get heaps of backup that can take out the buildings that the NOD guys are bunkered down on, and protect your MPC until it gets to your base. Deploy, and then build some stealth tanks to take out any NOD aircraft. Then build a tech center and get some zone troopers to take out the south eastern base.

It's a crazy mission, took about five shots to get it.

Will have to give it a try and let you knows how i go..

Yeah damn straight, I got stuck on Croatia too so I searched the net for strategy guides in frustration. This stage is a monster, even the southeast enemy camp is a pain in the ass, just saving enough pennies to get air transport to get a lift to the high ground to launch an assault sucked.

This will help: http://au.gamespot.com/features/6168146/p-9.html

Howie's right, get those riflemen dug in to the south west and north of your base ASAP, and I built anti tank turrets to the east of the base.

And Mammoth tanks, LOL how freaking cool are those things. If you have four or more them them you're practically invincible, I Love the Sly Stallone voices they put out.

Edit: Learnt heaps from that strategy guide thanks Gengis.

You build them, on your build menu there is shield icon. You can build anti infantry/tank/AA turrets.

Infantry can build bunkers that act as anti infantry turrets, you should use them for this as they're pretty much useless for assaults.

Started playing it yesterday. The mission briefings look so good, kind of immerses you a little.

The game play so far is really cool, and graphics are really great for a RTS game. Heh nods units seem really gimped imo though, that's good for me though since my bro's been nod and I've been GDI since the first C&C

Anyone found a good place to download big skirmish maps? The ones your given are kinda crappy to say the least..

[Marco-R34GTT]

The demo was sweet. Felt soo much like RA2, well, more so than Generals anyway....

[Sambo33gtst]

I thought it was sweet how they have gotten half the House cast to be in game generals
