Command & Conquer 3 gets the series back to its roots in the Tiberium universe, with new gameplay features that rewards players for their own unique play styles. Beyond the new story and gameplay tweaks, added new features include voice-over IP, integrated clan support, and new spectator modes.

It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium -- a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth -- is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.

Re: Command and conquer

Red Alert does work on Windows XP, simply right click your short cut > properties > compatibilty > Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 95. And it works.

Re: Command and conquer

I've played C&C since the series first began. However, i will not be buying C&C3. Why? From what i've seen and read it offers no advance in tactics or gameplay. It's Tiberium Sun with better graphics.

There are so many more games being released that will be better. World in Conflict is a game i am extremely excited about. Offers tactics, gameplay and great multiplayer action, not to mention some beautiful graphics.

I'm also really looking forward to Mark of Chaos. It's a game that actually looks like a great laugh, the Warhammer tag put me off for a little while, but theres no denying they're pushing the boundaries.

Supreme Commander is something i will try out through a demo. I'm not sure if i'm going to like it. It doesn't strike me as a game that will be very user friendly, and to me looks like a click fest game, whereby the player that clicks the quickest will win. The gameplay looked very fast and furious, but extremely messy. Time will tell.

Thats what I was thinking however im not so sure the map shown in the preview is apparently 1/16th the size of the largest map or something similar to that extent so there's definitely time to build unlike C&C, one thing that i quite like about SupCom is there is no ore like what C&C has so you cant run out and it doesn't simply turn into an ore battle.

Thats the one thing i didn't like about C&C really in the end the person with the most ore won and you would go all out to grab and hold that extra resource without much focus on actual battles.

Re: Command and conquer

Its worked for me before, try it will all the different compatability modes, if it still doesn't work. Uninstall it completely, then reinstall it by opening up the CD (in Windows Explorer) and finding the setup file (ie... D:\RedAlert\setup.exe) right clicking it: properties > compatibilty > run this program in: Win95. and install it (and the expansions, if you have them) like this. Then once the game is installed, change the shortcut to compatibilty mode (the same mode you choice for the install).

This should make it work, I know i've gotten it to work, but its been a while, when the rest of my games get here (hopefully within the next week or so) I'll try it myself.

You can also try going to where the game is installed (ie... C:\Program Files\Westwood\Red Alert) and finding the game's .exe and doing the compatibilty change on it and seeing if that makes a difference.

Re: Command and conquer

...sudden strike...

Yeah, I really liked that game. The detail that went into the units was incredible, and I liked how they did the logistics. I've heard rumors that they're coming out with a third one, but I'm kinda sketchy on the details.

Time will tell.

"Sooner or later...time will tell..."

Yeah, that was the best Video Game Movie line ever.

The thing is, when i put it in it will automaticly say "this is a windows 95 product" ect... so i cant do anything

Edit: Nvm i got it

Edit 2: I h8 the alternate timeline in RA2, though, i liked it when it looked like kane was gonna rule the world after he shot the chick in RA1
