Ummm...skirmish but harder and alot cheaper, constant mamy rushes from gdi lol.

Also, are there any tools out there that let you play a game by yourself? I want to build a massive base. >.<

EDIT: IronWarrior, I haven't tried it.. But if you use that patch I told you about, I'll set up a game with you. Very Happy

Or anyone in general.. Smile

The best maga base I'll ever had was in one of the GDI mission's, I dind't turn off my Play Station for a week and let the Tiberium grow none stop till it covered the entire map, aswell having lot's of big bases and outposts aswell as "guard points" all over the map.

I'll maxed out on every unit too. Smile

Multiplay in C&C was always horribly unbalanced... GDI sucked because the WF was too flimsy, recon bikes would own it. Most top players would hate using GDI for that reason alone. As for Nod, whoever was on the right side of the map automatically won.

Thanks for the link, Ea released the a game for free? There has to be money behind it somewhere.....oh ya, saved 50 cents by caped the download speeds Sarcasm

If they actually want people to download it and play it, why make it take forever to actually get the game? Whats That

Because they want all the young'un's to see what downloads were like back in the '90's, when 33.6 and 56k ruled the day. Big Grin

If you got 20kbps/second download back then, you were THE Man.

Um, even using that fix, thats only like RenIP, where we need the IP of someone hosting to actually connect to play, is there anyway to get to the lobby, and see a list of all the game servers online? Huh

And is there anyway to skip that annoying video that start when you load it up? Huh

No, but the closet you can get is to be in the chat lobby and talk to players and get them to join. The XWIS walkthrough tells you how.

Review:

1)download it from the links posted by jball, its MUCH faster (50kbps vs 500kbps)
2)I just using daemon tools to mount the .iso's and it installed in like 3 seconds.
3)Download that guide on how to install it, because it can really fuck over you directx and video card drivers if you dont follow the intructions exactly, and then read up on how to run it the right way (compatibility stuff)
4)When I first tryed a C&C rts game, I hated it, it was Ra2, and the cut scenes felt dumb, and the gameplay was slow, this game, for some reason the cut scenes are just...good Whats That

And the gameplay is simple and surprisingly fun. Seems I have been changed from fps only, to the rest of the C&C games, im getting TFD soon and ill see how the rest are like.

Oh, and did I mention, why don't people host some games for C&C95? I did a few times, waiting like 1hour+ no one was on Dont Get It

Lets try to get more peps online to have a few games Rocked Over

Actually, it IS possible to play online via Westwood Chat, even on XP. Exactly what you need and how to make it work I dont know but I have definatly done it before.

Ah, now THOSE were the days. I did that with Retaliation all the time. That's what got me into the series.

I didn't care for RA2 or TS at all. RA with Retaliation is the way it was meant to be played. No cartoonist art and unrealistic buildings, just turrets, pillboxes and the need to feed your refineries.

TS was the worst of them all to me. Every five freaking seconds there was a triple missile and that damn seeker droid thing. You have to build concrete everywhere and I would just like to see someone make a real mega base in that thing.

I was gonna get TFD, but looking over the games, im thinking im just gonna try Ra2 (most played on xwis atm, apart from ren), and the new CNC3, still C&C95 is a good prelog to me, because I had no idea where this conecept of GDI vs NOD even came about, its just a good overall background game In Love

the game that got me into the series was ra2, i liked it and had to get tfd.

once, i was nod on the mission where you gotta capture the gdi base, i killled every thing except an orca and built a base, had 2 refineries, 3 harversters, and attacked the only tib field on the map, it was fun. the map was filled with silos and pps

I don't "STEAL", I field aquire
