PC Gamer review of C&C3 90%(System requirements inside)

http://rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33883486

All props go to the guy in the link for the information,ill post what he posted if you don't wanna read the link.

High points:Three Diverse sides; quick multiplayer action; best full-motion video cut scenes in years.

Low points: Combat may be too frantic for some. Alien plot feels tacked on to the main story.

Bottom Line: C&C 3 returns to the franchise's roots with great looking non stop RTS action.

They also mentioned that the multiplayer interface is the best one that they have seen and that the alien race feels like they added an expansion on to an already complete game. They were happy about the graphics and the way the game plays.They mentioned that each side has tons of units that all have their own unique play style.

One of the things that may make many of you happy is the system requirments.

P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM, 8GB HD space, DX9.0c 64MB graphic card with 8x DVD ROM.

They reccommend a P4 @2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 128 MB video card.

Not too bad for a cutting edge RTS. They didn't mention if the game is multi-threaded so I don't know if dual core will make a differance in this one. The only complaint that I read about that I would have liked to see out of the game is that the camera cannot move out as far away as they would have liked. It's a problem that the game engine has had ever since generals but oh well.

GIVE US THE DEMO NOW EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't wait!!  Thanks for the post!  CnC is back baby!!!!

Considering they gave Generals a 78% I would say this is a big deal for C&C fans that were dissapointed in Generals.

Pretty sweet they only had one compliant about the game and that was the camera.

It is also a big thing that they said they feel that it is like a complete game with an exspanion with it.Which means your getting your money worth with this game.Have to give EA a grads on doing something right.

bwhahaha

Yea, we deserve it after Generals!!  (I did like that game though!) :D

I can't wait to see the responses from everyone after playing the demo. 

This developement team is not the same team that made Generals and Zero Hour in any way mirrored shape or form. The past is the past, and the past two years, we've turned support around drastically in all areas. With match broadcast coming, live teams impending, this is not the same EA you knew 3 years, and really, this is about EALA, about the current C&C development team.

You are right, we still have much ground to prove, we'll continue battling.

Now lets get to WCG!!!!

PROVE IT EA!!!

Yea i seen that post on the C&C forums,this team seems to be trying there best.

Low points: Combat may be too frantic for some.Gun-Unit

I consider this a high point. I was worried that the gameplay is toned down for the 360.

Anyone know what rating they gave Generals? Not that it matters... just would like to knowZam

Well it really depends on how good the developers are at managing the game i guess we will see with the demo.

PlanetC&C comfired that PC Gamer did give those specs of the final version of C&C3.
