Got this game and though not so many missions as old, a cracking game.

Politically close to the mark with nukes, Liberation Groups, USA and China (no UK????) especially read GLA as Saddams crew with Toxic & Chemical capabilities..

Still very good, graphics are much better than old and can have coumtless tanks etc (had over 60 on the screen last night!!!)

Love the game not as visually stunning as Unreal 11 but more involving

Just got Anarchy Online (again) so doubt I'll be venturing onto the games market again till Starwars Galaxies comes out =] tbo C&C never came close to the Warcraft / Starcraft counterparts...

C&C Better RTS than Warcraft3 (I've played War3 soooo much )? Your opinions plz.

Been playing C&C for a large part of the weekend

Enjoying it so far - better than Warcraft 3? Hmmm - not sure. AI seems a bit dodgy on occassion - tanks just sitting there ignoring the enemy etc. Shame you can't set the "stance" of the units i.e. aggressive or defensive.

Graphics are very impressive though, but you'll need a good spec PC to avoid slowdown

Great game...

Forget the AI, these games are ment to played online with real people...

Didnt even bother playing the campains, just jumped right into online mode...Thats something you probably cannot do Pete as you won't have the real game

1.53 Athlon 512 GF3 Ti200 ... runs well at 1152
good game, v. good gfx for RTS (if you have the time to admire them). Some niggles with interface and control.

Multiplayer online has serious issues, but once you get a game going its great fun. Although its very frustrating that it can take easily 5-30mins to even start a game with the constant connection issues.

To get the medals for 10 min win select skirmish mode 8 player version, set 7 as your allies on brutal and 1 as your enemy ormal and within 5 mins you would have won, and you don't have to do anything!!!

mobile scud attacks from all over the place and land baseed scud strikes on any concentrated troop build up or buildings together were a mare!

I went online before venturing into the missions and the competition is already looking tough, so i'd spend all weekend practicing before playing against the real AI on the net.
PS. a well balanced game and a step in the right direction, with p155 taking out of the GLA/middle east from the American based team who made the game.
