Tiberium Wars, Good or bad. Options

[Deathrider1991]

So I was arguing with someone from the CNC Reborn forums a month or so ago and it was over CNC 3. They said it was "Way better than TS" and I flipped out and basically said it was sh*t and the scrin really shouldn't have been in it, seeing how in Tiberian Sun they are never directly mentioned unless you look in the ini files or see "Scrin Ship" when you hover your mouse over the crashed alien craft in the campaigns. So i am wondering, do you think that CNC3 is a GOOOD game or do you think that EA destroyed CNC with this game.

Oh and sorry for posting lots.

well as long as only people who haven't played C&C3 don't comment, the topic might stay legit.

I didn't like the build system, at all. Since they had such a problem with base creepers, they made it so now base expansion is IMPOSSIBLE without using another MCV or surveyor.
This is especially annoying, because now all superweapons have to do is target the conyard and you KNOW it's going to kill EVERYTHING.
They really should have stuck with the RA2 system, building a maximum 1 main building and 1 defensive building at any given time. Cranes and multi MCV building really screwed up C&C3's gameplay.

But, the graphics and the atmosphere are incredible, assuming that your video card has enough juice to display them.

Don't get me wrong, the graphics are amazing. ORGASMIC...well...not that far. The graphics and sounds are amazing, i love what they did with the super weapons, some of the game play really sucks. If I had to rate it. I'd give it a 5/10 for game play, a 9/10 for graphics, and they destroyed the Tiberium plot line altogether especially when they destroyed the Philadelphia, so I'd give game play a -1/10.

I think it's okay but I wouldn't play it online; for the reasons Team Black stated above.

I've played it online, and some guy spent all of his time doing what Team Black stated and I captured half of his base under his nose. I won.

I haven't played it online, however my brother did and it lagged in 1 vs 1's (and 2 vs 2 games were almost unplayable due to the EA servers' slowness).

When I compare the graphics to other RTS games released in 2007, I don't think they are that great. Although the lighting is nice and the atmosphere is great, it clearly loses to Universe at War and World in Conflict in texture quality (Also, WIC had better water reflections etc. from what I can remember).

However, although the graphics were worse than in UaW and WIC, what I was happy about in TW was that it didn't lag at all, the gameplay was smooth even when I had about 100 mammoth tanks on the same screen.. while I get have quite a low amount of FPS (frames per second) in UaW and WiC in larger battles.

(Btw, I've ran all of these three RTSs on maximum graphics.. I mean, the maximum I can get with DirectX9 (WiC and UaW both have better effects with DirectX10)).
