IDK, I have really zero hype for this game. Actually I had no hype for any of the games in the Tiberium series. The only ones that ever got me hyped were Generals and its add-on. Its just me though, I hope its good because it would suck for all of the C&C fans to be disappointed as the rest of us already got supreme commander

The plot device I don't get is why space aliens with the capacity for interstellar space travel would come to earth just to eat tiberium. Couldn't that level of technology just transmute whatever it wanted? It's the same sort of goofiness as aliens who need to eat people to survive.

That being said, if the game is too easy, raise the difficulty.

Um did you change you resolution settings? It makes a HUGE difference...plus make sure your anti aliasing is up.  With maxed graphics this game is gorgeous!

If you change it to 1600X1050 (if your monitor can do that) the graphics are very crisp

I've enjoyed the demo so far.  I've been running it at 1280 and 4x AA and it looks pretty good.

Well, I was only running it on an AGP x850 so not sure how high I can crank the rez.

ahhhh i see.  If you get the chance for some reason check it out...Not sure if you do, but do you remember the resolution boost the original C&C got when they release the "gold" edition for windows 95?  It's kinda like that.

I'm running it at 1680 X 1050 and everything on high including AA. AND IT LOOKS GREAT!

One think I don't like about the game is the multiple build queues for the same type of unit/structure. I can just see in a multiplayer game that you go into an enemy's base and all of a sudden 5 sonic turrets pop out of nowhere...

Realy liked the demo, but it sucks that we aren't able to play as NOD or Scrin too

I was able to play as NOD... <.<  >.>

At least I could build most of NOD's units/stuctures...

Yeah. I think it sucks that they didn't put all three teams in the demo. Bastards.

I have played and owned every C&C game since it came out(yes even the orignal DOS version which I still own).  I love the demo, so might as well get this one two.

Scan the file for viruses. If there are none, try downloading from another server.

Are you using Windows XP 64? I get that error message every now and then when I boot into that.

Nope, just wanting to download it, and I do not have a FilePlanet account.  I saw it on EA Links.  I do not want to install Links to get it, but guess I have to.

Thank you.  I do not mind the 2 hour wait since I am at work, and it will be ready when I get home.
