the ion cannon in cnc3 fiannly owns liek it should. the mammoth tanks are to overpowerd especially with the railgun upgrade. i agree about the avatar mech being so ovrpowerd, but they dont have thay much health, and they are prone to air. infantry still have the lame death, no blood :( the juggernaught mech is pretty cool, and i like the nod defences, eg 3 at ones, which is cool but if the base station is destroyed they are all destroyed. did you know that the beam cannon can charge an oblisk of light? steps up the ownage.

i would love you to put Cnc3 ion cannon fx in remix (is possible there the same engine) for laser gens ion cannon, or maybe a super version of SupW gens particle cannon (same cost/upgrade time as hydrogen bomb for ICBM-at tech 3 from her particle cannon)
i couldnt care less baout mission, i live for skirmish and pvp. i am very impressed so far. although the nod nuke could be reworked a little bit and the catalyst missile FX look amazing when they hit tiberium

lol i could swaer that units try to run away from the avatar mech when it tries to grab its weapon :D i clicked on a stealth tank(for it to become invisible), and evey time it got near the stealth tank ran away!. then it finally got hold of it and ate it up good ;) and the screaming effect is nice ! the animation is awsome. i love it how it attaches it to its arm (beam cannon laser) and it puts the flame thrower tank on its back

the flying infantry for NOD are awsome , i mean stealthed gliders that fucking cain infatnry (1 of them blazed up 5 squands of infantry it it was on red health) and they demo charge buildings. they can easily rape a base in minutes.

Theres no way to translate the WHOLE FX over to ZH, but parts of it can... I'll see what I can do.


I think the game has lots of great little features, just like Supreme Comander, but, just like SupCom I just didn't realy enjoy it. Lots of great features, but the game, especialy the combat was not enjoyable. Fantastic FX cannot substitute game balance and pace. And, it was kinda hard to take the infantry seriously when they are as taller than a tank, such as in un-modded ZH.

But, there are some features I think I would like to use. 3-in-1 defenses. There are ways to make this happen. It wouldn't have the identical effect, but it CAN be done in ZH... theres a few different ways, I will play around with them. This can be adapted for a GLA side somehow...


also...
Imagine spider mines with missile launcher turrets mounted on thier tops (instead of bombs)... they spawn from the hub as a group of five, scatter, and them burry themselves to become little turrets. Infact, the more I think about it, the more I think this could become a very nice heavy defense. If I give the closed bunkers to AirF general, it will leave room for a new Robot defense. What if the Hub spawns a variety of drones... Spiders with turrets, suicide spiders, and even a variety of flying drones that hover around. It would be like a delux version of the drone controler, more total drones, but less of each type.... I like this... another thing to experement with.

browse to the install location in explorer and run the executable.

Between now and the next polished release there should be very little new art work done. Instead the focus is on designing, testing, and fixing. the mod has always been so close to finished that its nearly criminal. I'd love to see this through to the end with a real community effort.

Dude i would love it if the af gen get ths cyber gen firebase... modular aswell? with the cyber gens artil not the lame one the af gens firebase has now right? Fortified means fortified liek a china bunker ;) lol

And your idea for the replacment defence for cyber with teh diff spawn of drowns is sweet specily the spider mines with rockets on them.

I think the spider idea is fantastic. do implement it
and sorry, but i dont understand ur "browse to the install location in explorer and run the executable." is it where CnC3 was installed into my com or the downloaded demo exe file? and if the thing is installed into my com where can i find it?
sorry to bother you and thank you for ur times.

Where you installed it on the computer. If you don't remember specifying a specific directory, I think it's under C:\Program Files\EA games\C&C3 demo, or something similar.

If this doesn't help, I suggest you post in our CnC3.net forum, where our C&C3 staff can help you out.

@ first guest

it unzips in a temp directory (I think C:\Windows\Temp? Or C:\Documents and settings\your user name\something.. I don't know, I'm using Linux atm so I can't really check) and then should automatically launch the installer.. I'm not sure why it wouldn't do that. Maybe someone else knows, or you can post it in the CnC3 forums (they may know). I can also move your post if you want.

@sarah
An odd error as well, I do not know the answer unfortunately but maybe someone else knows or you can post it at the CnC3.net forums or tell me to move your post there.

Both of you can try checking the official EA forums, maybe there are others with similar issues or people who have an answer.

Hey you two,

I also encountered such problems initially, but found out what to do in order to enable the demo to work. You see, the auto unzip kinda sucks so the key is to extract the files from the file you downloaded: CnC3_Demo.exe. Specify the name of the folder you want to create through this extraction and carry it out.

Once done, visit the folder you have just created and look for the file with the name setup.exe and run it. Using this extraction method will ensure that the msi file is not lost through reasons unknown. Once you're done setting up, run CnC3 DEMO, the one with the GDI logo (Eagle logo) and CnC3 will automatically start up.

xXx

Actually it does work even though the instructions were quite complicated
heres the low down
extract to a folder, name it what you want
run setup.exe
run cnc3demo.exe
