CNC3Files will have a mirror up in a couple hours (gotta wait for the installer to download myself to mirror it...). Also coming is a new site layout to celebrate the launch of the demo, and the start of the real flow of files.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

This is pathetic, I'm stuck here in New Zealand on dial up. Which means no demo, no adding a mirror to the site, no nothing.

I'm depressed. :rolleyes:

Added the CNC3Files mirror. Time to see how my new server configuration holds up under what will hopefully be lots and lots of big file downloads.

Sudden internet blackout hits the Boston area.

I see you put up a nice cap on speed. Good plan.

Great demo but...

-I hope they change the right mouse button to the left mouse button (now you move and attack and such with the right mouse button)
-The Predator with the railgun upgrade is very imbalanced

I'll see if I can find more tings.

ANd is it just me or are the buildings very weak? 1 Predator can destroy NOD's equalvant (I know spelling is not correct) of the Watch Tower. Campaigns are nice though.

What does the 'Handicap' button mean when you start a skirmish game. You can choose it from 0% to -95%.

While it first looked as a great game, I realised GDI is overpowered. I was playing against a Brutal AI, I builded 5 Mammoth Tanks, and, believe it or not, THEY COULD DESTROY THE WHOLE BASE OF NOD ON THEIR OWN AND THEY HAD ALLL THEIR HEALTH LEFT, THEY WERE NOT DAMAGED, AND I DON'T HAD SEND ANY OTHR UNIT THEN THOSE 5 MAMMOTH TANKS. Rocket Squads could only do very very very little damage to Mammoth Tanks (even less then they do to infantry), and even the Avatar War Mech could only do as much damage as some Rocket Squads (and BTW, those Avatar War Mechs looks ugly). And what's even worser, with the Railgun Upgrade for Predators and Mammoths, they can destroy everything in one hit! And those NOD Stealth Tanks does deal literally no damage to buildings or vehicles, I don't know if they are good versus infantry but hell, you have Flame Tanks for that! Also Fanatics (Terrorists) does also almost none damage to buildings or vehicles. Also Obelisks or those Laser things that are controlled by a Outpost doesn't deal any damage to mammoths. End conclussion = build 5 Mammoth Tanks and you have won...I don't had expected this... :)
