BF2S Forums [C&C3] Does anyone here play it?

It's patch 1.09, not 1.2.

I'm down for a game in TW or KW.

Also do you have Kane's Wrath? If the answer is no then get it but DO NOT INSTALL THE PATCH AS IT MAKES SINGLEPLAYER UNPLAYABLE!. However if you did have the same lack of foresight as myself and you did install the patch then we could play together.

Online C&C always turned out to be either a tank rush fest, or everyone building up for 20 minutes and then A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE battle that would lag everyone's PC

They were epic battles though.

By the patching, I mean that when patch 1.2 first came out I patched it, and since then my online account and logging in has stopped working, and stil isn't working with 1.9 (1.09 w/e)
OK, well I just added you to XFire.
I do have Kane's Wrath, and yes I was stupid enough to patch it I dont beleive it makes it unplayable I just think they made it like that so that the players had a so called "Challenge" and also had to actually use strategy, and make a different assortment of units, but hey, that's my opinion.

BUT I also think that it will be put back to normal, with practically the entire community wishing it was, and not just the league players but also the "noobs".

That's what makes C&C so much fun, the variety of playing styles and the people you communicate with about strategy, teamwork, and general having fun. Which is what I play them for, and none of them have yet dissappointed me.

I play KW regularly now. I've gotten used to the economy nerf in the patch but the devourer/corrupter combo is overpowered so you get 90% of Scrin/Reaper-17 players using it.

Were, now the game is all about rushing.

Fortunately massive battles are back in RA3, not as big as they were but much bigger than in Kane's Wrath now.

If you scout early enough, you can crush any rush, even all-ins.

But that doesn't change the fact that it isn't fun when people rush. I have no problem if someone rushes, I know the counters for every rush but the problem is that rushing just occurs to often now. I rush my enemies very often and most of the time it ends with them selling off all their stuff.

Also spam hasn't even been hit by the econ nerf. People are still prone to make a whole bunch of a single unit.

Aye, thats the problem tbh. RA1 was mostly about huge tank battles. I dont think I ever had a game where there was rushing. I remember games consisting of 50 cruisers squaring off against each other, 100's of Mammoth tanks...all without some faggot ability to disable / kill huge amounts of a base and/or army. A-bombs were crap, but fair.

Those were the days. Didnt even lag on the PS


Speaking of huge battles, me and RD did this the other day: Scrin ships vs AA sites

Before the attack;


During: (!!)



(that huge orange "blob" was RD's AA sites...a ring around his base 4 rows thick!!)


I didnt have 999 ships...the actual count was 570...it just took about 10 seconds to select them all . Shame it crashed just after....good ole EA bugs.

Wow. I've never built that many units before. Or had that kind of defense to break through.
