Me and my friend agrees that only the NOD harvester has the best advantage....... the mini-gun on the GDI harvester does shitty damage, even worse than those war miners in RA2...... and the Scrin harvester, as plain as one can ever be.....

How many ppl using maxis wbb to play Cnc3 online ? how the speed?

Ya la.. me want to know as well... might change to Maxis after July... so if the speed is acceptable... than definitely will change.


==================


I notice that unlike most thread.. we didn't discuss tactics and so on a lot in this thread... now why don't we start discussing some new tactics to use in multiplayer... might benefit all of us as well.

Em.. let me start..

As usual... can anyone assess my BO, strategies and the way I play again in this replay. For information... this is the first time I use GDI in Multiplayer... never use that faction even once before.


So... all expert please assess... :

read the intel of NOD harvester, so funny!!!

i can go harvest at enemy tiberium place and no one know

just saw your replay just now.

Awesome. I thought you were losing. the GDI's defense was very beefed up and you were hit by ion cannon once.

I think the GDI (zapartan) lost because he put too much attention on his buildings.

hm... tried to connect to EA server and it says "Could not connect to the backend server"...


Is this problem with my PC or its just simply that EA is having problems with their server??

Same here having the same error

I'm not an expert, i learned from others and then i pwned you(*woof* chews on finixwunin's half-dead base *woof*)

The EA server is still a little buggy and you will have to retry a few minutes later. reconnecting might help a little bit.

Yeah im playing mine on a laptop using the intel GMA 950 its does work. But due to some quirk with the textures, u got to set it on meduim or higher settings for it to work. Tweak your setting around from high then slowly scale down to see what u can scale.

Anyone here using a 8600GT graphic card .. how's the graphic like .. izzit on HIGH. I wanna know cuz I will be getting a 8600GT on Saturday.

want to make ppl jealous?

a 7900GT can already set all the setting to high.

dmn... aurora replies is quite "threatening"


Um... what is the RAM of the laptop?? 1GB of 512MB?? Becoz my friend might want to buy the game if the game can be played on his laptop (Intel Pentium M, 512MB, GMA 950)

What is your current GC if I may know??

If you want more options, ATI's top to bottom DX10 cards, HD2900XTX to HD2400 is coming next month also.
