I bought the new CC title a few weeks ago and i love it. It's graphics are great, its strategic, its fast, its GODLIKE but some units are absolutely imbalanced like the Mammothtank which is strong against everything, has a strong armor and is comparatively cheap. But all in all its worth playing and it makes lots of fun.

You played it? What do you think about CC3?

Best game since Yuri's Revenge, have to say, and yeah, mammies are a bit unbalanced, but there are counters, just buggies with EMP and the super tanks would be out of the way, or fantic rush, also in patch 1.05 Avatars will cost only 2200, so it would be a grat oportunity to build more of them against the mammoths.

Anyway, best way to fight against GDI is never let them tech up, otherwise they will become a headache.

To beat mammoth?

Depends on my faction i choose, if i were

GDI: Mass them with Orca will flush them down, Match them with my mammoths

NOD: Vertigo Bomber will do the job, Avatar Warmech with Beam Cannon weapon (just make sure that accompany this unit with stealth tank, cuz eventhough they're weak, their missile will annoy their armor)

Scrin: Mass them with Stormrider or some Planetary Assault Carrier, don't match them with ground unit cuz Scrin ground unit isn't strong enough to match against mammoths, i suggest if you're still insist with the ground unit lure them into tiberium area and use some devourer tanks and Annihilator Tripod.

One more thing Mammoth are very vurnerable against air unit eventough they're already armed with Mammoth Tusk(mammoths missile)

Mah Strategy when skrimish


GDI : since orcas really sucks ... i seldom build them ... my choice is ...


Back row : Juggers ... yes you heard me right ... juggernauts ... you'll see why

guardians : Mammoth , good tank , good defensive ... no prob with air and ground units

assaulter : predators ... why ? it's cheap ... economical and it's hard!
: snipers ... synergy with juggernauts ... then ownage

late game : rush out all your mammoth ( 20 shold be enough ) and juggers ( 12 ) then end the game


NOD : dude ... Venoms the best


Guardian , Assaulter : Laser Venom don't go out without the lasers or you'll regret ... 50 of'em will do the job ... make it 100 if you like ... i've tried once ... no prob with that ... they're darn fast ... able to get back to defend in no time ... ( what about air defence in enemy base ? ... master rank venom need 7~8 rows of missle to take 1 down ... etc nod's air defence system ... )

Back row : avatars with beam tank's tech ... ( around 10 ~ 20 )

Late Game : avatar goes first ... then venom ... build a few Bombers for buldoze purpose ... and that's the game



SCRIN : i love this the most ... why ?

Assaulter : Storm riders ... trust me ... they're good .... real good ... around 48 wil do ... ( 12 air ports )

Guardian : Assault carrier!BEST DEFENSIVE EVER !! JUST PUT 20 OF THIS INFRONT OF YOUR BASE AND NOTHING WILL COME ACROSS!NEVER!( with ion storm activated )

back row : none ... master mind and annihilator ? ( build 5 then teleport to enemy base for some fun ... )

Late Game : when the enemy has not enough fund to continue the strike ... send out all your assault carrier to take down thier air defence system ... since your carrier can attack it outside the range ... you need not worry losing a single unit through out the offence ... just make sure dont bump into the range then it'll be fine ... be patient and let the tiny ships do thier job ... once the air defence system is down ... bump in every thing you got ... then it'll be an ownage ... i've tried once with this strtegy and score like ...

unit produced : 150 ( 30 carrier and 120 storm riders ) ... thanks to the unlimited supply of tiberium ...

unit lost : 5!( storm riders ... careless cz i didn't notice thier troopers )

time : 3 hours XD

enemy : 2 Brutal balance type GDI ( 1 on 2 game ) ... builded 10 carrier at first for defensive purpose then slowly storm riders ...


MY words : darn scrin have the best air craft in the game!i've tried once ownage , without building a single infantry or tank ... pure storm riders and carrier ... go try it!nice strtegy you see ... ( although it's kinda headache in the early game .... )

I have not played CC3 yet, just the breathtaking demo, but i do have supreme comander

Oya ... actualy it's not 3 hours ... because i've a slow and lagy game there .. ( 512 mb ram ... ) ... it's actually an hour or so if you've a nice great smooth com ... good luck for ya

Is anyone know the purpose of AI Steamroller?

Well brutal balance is still not very powerful enough, try turtle brutal in late game they're kicking my ass especially Scrin, cuz last time i got 1 vs 2.
GDI (me)
NoD (Brutal Rush)
Scrin (Brutal Turtle)
It's very funny that i stole NoD Construction yard and use their technology against Scrin (i rush them early)
Scrin mass their defenses with storm coloumn (the most powerful defensive tower in CnC universe i think), it's very hard to penetrate Scrin defensive system (more worse if they're guarded by Stormrider or Devastator or Planetary Assault Carrier) but thanks to the Juggernaut, some Mammoths and Full scale of NoD Assault Unit (Avatar (armed with beam and Flame), Stealth tanks, Raider and Nod Bike Missile) I overcome the Scrin Brutal Turtle in late game... eventough I've use 2 superweapon to brought down the Storm... really crazy that i've ever played...

well ... if you have a good macro skill .. it won't be hard ... send in a few cripy crap then rush in your main fire power to gang it down ... as for me ... wel ... SCRIN rocks again ... tried the turtle type brutal scrin ... well yup ... thier base is filled with thunder storm -.-llll beautiful ~~ ... however ... defence system still mean useless infront of assault carrier .... i place 20 infront of thier base ... then i create a few devastator to rush the other base ... about 20 mins time ... they lost 5 lighting tower .... =v=V .... and i got another enemy base ran down to the ground ... HAIL FOR SCRIN ~

I'm planning to buy C&C 3...

is it really that nice?

Cause I really loved the C&C series...

And i also love strategy games so waht do you guys think?

If RTS is your cup o' tea then I'd recommend picking it up. Personally I'm a Company of Heroes / Dawn of War fan, but C&C3 definitely doesn't disappoint the average RTS'er and it will surely impress fans of the series.

The Steamroller personality is quite self-explanatory. When you set your AI's personality to this. He'll mow you down with his tanks as and when he can.

He'll concentrate largely on the tanks that he has at his disposal. He'll send in large armies of tank rushes. Which means that, the most powerful tanks that he has at that point of time

Meaning, if your AI is GDI. Then, early on in the game, he'll send in his Predator tanks. And then, later on when he gets the ability to build the Mk. 3s then he'll send those tanks instead. Get what i mean?

The Steamroller AI may take a slightly longer time to send in his first wave compared to all other personalities. But don't be fooled. If you give him enough time, you won't have a chance to come back up. The perfect time to get a Steamroller is quite early on in the game. Strike his economy. The more you hinder that, the more you can prolong his attacks. And eventually cripple him.

In other words, you'll need to be a rusher if your enemy is a steamroller.

If you need more help. Do ask! I'll surely help! ^_^

The game is AWESOMELY FULL OF AWESOME AWESOMENESS!!

You just gotta get it! For all sorts of reasons! The main one being, to get to know what happens next in the epic war.

Also, it's one of the very best RTS games to have ever been created.

So.. yeah. The game is nice! xD

What are you doing sitting there?! Go now! Go and get the game! GO!! NOW! NOW! NOW!!

I have played the game too, and it's simply fantastic, i learned how to play in minutes. Very good graphics and it isn't really "heavy" game, i tested it with a nvidia GeForce 6600GT 128 Mb and runs great.

Hmmm... i doubt that some. Whats the rest of your PC made of?? I mean, the rest of the config?? And what graphic settings did you keep before running the game?

Also, could you please give in some screenshots from your actual gameplay to confirm what you said??

Because C&C 3 is a really demanding game. If you're planning on running it with all the graphic settings set to ultimate. And having AA and AF enabled on 4x or something. And on a high resolution like 1600x1200 or lesser.

Looking forward to your response...

My roommate plays C&C3 with a GeForce 5700 FX, a top-of-the-line card four years ago. It doesn't look great, but it doesn't look bad either; he runs it at the default low graphics settings. What's important is that it runs smoothly, especially at the frenetic pace that the Command & Conquer games run compared to most other RTSes on the market.

C&C3 is a demanding game if you put all those graphic settings sliders all the way to the right, but it's a surprisingly scalable game too, and it runs well with old systems. I'm guessing it runs well because it was built on a modified version of the engine that Command & Conquer Generals used (and later Battle for Middle Earth), and that game is about four years old now as well.

It's have the "soul" of the old classic. And now the cutscene's are back in HD -which looks great-.
But the most important thing, Kane Lives!!
About gameplay, it's very fast actually. You can build your base and army just in minutes.
Because of the well optimised S.A.G.E. (strategy action game engine) the game works perfectly on almost all systems.

You don't have to think twice. Just go and buy it. :)
