LegoMan1031 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 PLS DO! Need to know the deal. overall opinion of the game is good. I have enjoyed what i have played so far. When i first seen the graphics i was abit unsure coz i thought they looked abit bland however i think i just had to get used to them coz they are a different artistic style to c&c3, nice and colourful. Controls are improved again, takes a little bit of time to get used to them though but when u do its quick and easy to move through them. I particularly like being able to enlarge the mini map to shoot across the map. Enjoying the campaign so far, done about half of the soviet one, starting to get abit challenging though! Acting in the cut-scenes is cheesy but i think everyone was expecting that. Some of them i was actually laughing. Not had any problems with the A.I allied commander yet but i can see it being better with another 'human' Not tried the online yet so i can't comment on that. There is alot more to 'learn' in this one though as every thing has a 'second ability' wether it be changing weapon or something else. Sorry to very long post but i hope this covers what u were after, any more questions feel free to ask!
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks man, appreciate it. I also feel the same way regarding the visuals... I think though I may just prefer Kanes Wrath over this, its just more my kinda thing, with the stealth bombers, firehawks etc. The online will make or break this game for me though.
ViPeR Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I'm really enjoying it as well. No doubt it's RA2's sequel. Like Mike said it takes a while to get used to powers/special abilities and what each unit actually does lol. I'm finding it a lot harder than CnC3 so far. Me and Mike can't even do one of the Soviet missions in online co op on Normal, god knows what it's like on Hard!

It did seem ALOT easier than normal difficulty though! I do agree bout the difficulty, seems harder than C&C3. Also the more i play this game the more i like it!!!

I guess I could do it on easy but it annoys me that it's beating me on normal haha.

I will go and try the harder difficulties when i have completed them all. Think i might go straight to hard mode when i go again...
Happenstance Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Ive just been reading about the DRM on the PC version, its put me right off. Looks like I may have to get the 360 version after all unless something is done about it.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Still really enjoying this game Completed allied campaign now...
ViPeR Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I did Soviet on Normal just started the Allied now. I'm not going to go into any multiplayer skirmishes until I know the ins and outs of all the units.

Pyxis Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Noooo!!!! I absolutely loved Red Alert 2 and just rushed out to get the limited edition of Red Alert 3... I'm getting this message on install: Does anybody have any idea as to what's going on here? My PC specs are as follows: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit AMD Athlon 3500+ 2.7Ghz 2GB 800Mhz DDR2 RAM ATI Radeon 3600 HD The game has just cost me £40...
ViPeR Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Looks like it might be the CD, but i'd check with someone with more technical know how.
Pyxis Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah, I think you're right. That seems to be a file that its trying to copy over but can't. Im thinking that it's either the DVD or the drive.. I might exchange it tomorrow and if it still doesnt work, I guess I'll need to buy a new DVD drive. Hopefully they'll exchange an unsealed game at GAME...

Pyxis Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Hehehe, I think I've discovered the problem! I tried installing it on our Windows XP computer and it started to install without that error message popping up... I thought about what differed between that OS and this one and it was the Windows Firewall. I've turned off Windows Firewall and its installing fine now! Blimey! Windows Firewall must have been blocking it from the internet and it never informed me about any access attempt. Thanks you two. Thank god! Edit: *cries*
ViPeR Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Yeh definitely get a replacement. That disc seems buggered.
LegoMan1031 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Not played on this in awhile since i completed the campaign. Had a few skirmish matches last night, really enjoyed it. One thing that has annoyed me is u can't see which levels u have not done the bonus objectives on campaign. There must only be 1 or 2 levels in each story that i missed one on as there something i try and complete as they pop up. It showed you on the level select screen in C&C3 but for some reason not in this one...
ViPeR Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I'm really not liking the Japan campaign mainly because I don't like the units. Do they have any friggen anti air defences??
CoolFunkMan Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Do they have any friggen anti air defences?? Yup, they do. The Defender VX turrets have a transform function, which toggles them between anti-air and anti-infantry/tier 1. Just press the secondary ability button to transform it. Hope that helps!

LegoMan1031 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Ah excellent. I didn't know that thanks. Neither did i! lol
Dan_Dare Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 OK 360 players! I have this! Multiplayer, anyone?
LegoMan1031 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 OK 360 players! I have this! Multiplayer, anyone? Yep i would be up for it. Send me a message or invite sometime and we can have a game!
Dan_Dare Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 sweet. Think you're on my list? I dunno I cleared a few names off recently. I suck hard at this tbh. I could do with a few pointers. Something about the skirmish AI just makes them so flukey at defence.
LegoMan1031 Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Yer i'm on ur list. I wouldn't say i'm brill at it either but i love it! Anything in particular u want tips with? I will see if i can give any pointers.
