cheers mate!! it works!

guys, can anybody tell me how to register with TA?? do you need an origin account to play it??

don't mean to sound odd... the perspective for all the units and buildings seem a bit weird... don't you think??

i have read something bad off wiki, here is the link about the problem with Origin: http://en.wikipedia....ntent_delivery) ok, all these time, US is attacking China for abuse of humna right and sention of invading privacy, at the time, it was valid, but now look at what US doing now; in the case of Origin, the user has to forfeit the right to sue EA in order to use Origin, and also the supreme court created law to allow EA to have immunity from law!!! i am not gonna say, "hows evil now??" cause from where i stand, the so call liberal US and the Commy China are the same!! and if you live in a freeworld, you may want to ask yourself, will this kind of thing get worse?? edit: oh, one more to go off my chest, ok, some of us would still hope EA would change, would improve itself, after everything... I snab myself to wake up, just stop buy stuffs from them man... at least I would do that :<

don't mean to pump, may i ask what tools did you use to extract the data??

but i must say soqua is a genius, don't know it can be done that way, though i have no idea what he was say'n!!

ok, first off, whining warning, don't like this share thought thread, don't read and don't complain well, been playing a lot of CnC3 and having a lot of thought on many things, lore and all... been playing scrin mission, and i have this deep thought... ok, i kinda hate the scrin, pretty much about everything to do with it. first, don't you guys think it is the least command and conquer type of faction?? ever?? TIberium universe always been about human conflict, though the crystal may be alien, but the world and people always been, well, people, human i mean. so suddenly has to command an alien force, kinda weird and I constantly feeling detach from the solid and rich tiberium world... ok, then would be a balancing issue, though the skirmish game pretty balance, but as long as you try to relate the units and everything else with the lore and story, problem arise, for example, sonic emitter, while it is balanced and is just a super defense weapon like the obelisk, it supposed to have a violent effect on the Scrin, but of course, in mission , it is, but in skirmish, it is not (I think...), so i guess the complex issue would be, should sonic emitter behave as it should be as in the lore in game and in skirmish?? and if yes, while it satisfies the lore side of concern, it created a real imbalance problem, which is, do damage to Scrin, and effectively, but shouldn't do much to Nod cause it is just a tiberium control device... yea, i know i have a lot of crap then similar problem with the, then taken away in game weapon, the infamous catalyst missile(the big one), should it be used equally in skirmish, and in other in game mission, it should be interesting and truthful to the lore, again similar problem arised; only do damage to the scrin cause they have tiberium diet and only do damage to GDI refinery and perhaps, just perhaps Nod power plant with the little tiberium core upgrade..... i guess what been trouble my mind lately is that how to make the damn Scrin right if I was to develop similar game?? for my opinion, i think Scrin shouldn't even make it into the game or should be a dedicated expansion/game to this faction cause it is just way off the reality and the world , the feel of command and conquer, besides ever with the demise of TIberian Twilight, the whole Scrin issue would never be resolve, we would not know who they really are, what they want, their true connection with tiberium and the tacitius, kane and a yet even more illusive race, they who first created the data matrix known as tactius, what they look like, and their relation with the Scrin, do they truly cousin in relation, but in what ways?? I guess i can leave with the fact that Tiberium is a secretive crystal with secretive origin, but seen the appearance of the Scrin, people want to know more!! and this is why i would always prefer no alien, cause tiberium would be cooler if it is just damn mysterious!!! keith

i did read all of it, the reason for the asking is that in case something I don't know about

hi, been recently playing C&C 3 again, this time i patched it properly to v1.09, the latest i think. gosh, I don't know if i am paranoid, it has been hard!! so just a question, has v1.09 changed the AI in anyway?? its seems to me that the "waves" of attack are stronger than before, i mean more tanks and tough unit like stealth tank and avatar, and yeah, they like the stealth tank to hunt down my harvester, something it didn't happen that often...i have just finished the Temple Prime mission and boy! it had my brain fried!! ok, may be i haven't play it for sometime and may get a little bit sloppy i think, and those missions seem to be the kind "try it some more time and you would know how to bit the level" kind of thing, so if i forgot the tricks, i guess i would have to play enough to remember.... but still, it always good to ask some people!! so can anybody help answer my question, please?? keith

i guess give it a few years time, our kids and little brothers and the kids from next door would have there lunch boxes and school bags made by EA...tie too!! not the shoes though, cause Nike and Addidos are already fighting that!! may be a merge of mega corporation...Electronic Nike Addidos!!!

so we have to wait our butt till 2013??!! oh no..... the world end in 2012

so i guess Bioware been swallowed... ah.. i mean bought by EA??

is that starcraft's plane i saw.... the turbo fan design seem quite popular these days:)

are these papercrafts??

very impressive!! hope they can bake this tasty cookie out one day! and yea, weave them in front of EA head office.....

cool

Interview please check the link above, it seems to be an old interview with KuKane. nothing concerned me until i read this, "Are you happy with the direction that Kane's taken and the way they're finishing off Kane's story? Well... *pauses* The problem that I had, to tell you the truth, was all the prosthetics that I had to wear for the last - I don't know know if you're familiar with the story, but it's revealed that Kane was a woman in this last ere a ,ot of qrotvs aevea ed thasthetics involved, I had the wig, the hair was glued directly to my head, I had a giant bosom with a lot of cleavage, and it was just uncomfortable. A lot of uncomfortable make-up. I kinda question the direction as well - I think a lot of players are going to be surprised that he was a woman the whole time. Was it a good idea? I'm not so sure. We'll find out when fans react, as they certainly will." i don't know what to clarify actually, hmm... i just want to know what the hack was it going on?? did it actually happen and then got cutoff, so thanks god, and poor Kane..... EA is really an Evil A

but what sup with Kane as a woman??

thanks man!!

is ti possible to use TW SDK to extract asset data from TT?? are there any world builder for TT than?? thanks

I mean EA to me is exactly like the Corps in sci fi film and games alike...just like the stuff you see in Syndicate and S wars, big corporate cold machine... when i was trying to study business study when i was in A level/High School, this kind of rules and protocols if you will, were taught just like what i have seen in Corps like EA and others, you know, that kind of saying like, maximizing profits no matter what! kind of things.... and these Corps follows all the rules like a machine... businessman don't make good game/film, artists do!

let say if EA openly admit they screwed up and officially reboot CnC4, how many of you would say yes?? and "officially" forgive them??

gben asked for a review on the bonus mission Night Moves. So i will try my best to write one, knowing the fact that I am not the best person to write a review by sure would damn try. ok, the game, well at first, i thought yea, would be pretty similar to all the other nod missions from the game, probably easier, too. then i found out i was wrong. but now there, i encountered a phenomenon, it seems that the enemy's AI adjusts accordingly to your Level, the type of your crawler and what you already unlocked from the other missions. I was playing it when i already got to tier 3, while not yet to the max level where it should be level 20, that where you got everything. so being a complete game nob, i got defeated like three times and had to hear Gideon moaned three times telling me i was a ****. , yea, pretty embarrassing.... so if you are having the similar situation as i am, playing the mission at high level, i would suggest you upgrade everything and use the unlocked units or things, and treat it like other missions. the reason i stated this was because when i first played the mission, i was trying to be "fair" cause i expected the AI might have some handicap due to the fact that i was at level 16 or 18, so i can write a fair review. and i got my ass whopped for it.... they came in recently strong. the mission serves good demo purpose, it kinda gives you the freedom that would enable the player to experience most of the game' aspect, those Night Moves still a demo of Tiberian Twilight, so it pretty much inherent the same problems or just core designs issue. but other then that, it serves as a good demo. the mission mechanic is more like "try enough and you would eventually win" kind of scenario, instead of a mission provides strategical challenge, like escort those buses part, it was more like try all those paths and routes to see which one give you the least trouble and then restarts again and stick with it. as in every missions or games in Tiberian Twilight, the most most annoying and stupid thing of the mechanic is got to be the respawn of crawlers. the enemy definitely exploited this for full length. There was a time i thought, "man! do they just keep on coming?? does this mission suppose to end with a goal, or this is one of EA way of making a bonus/demo, a mission that would not end, so the playing would keep playing it....", i mean, seriously, there would be two enemy crawler at any given time, and each would continuously respawn for at least 3 times each. at that time, i almost gave up, but then they did stop, thanks god. and mission accomplished. summing up: the mission is like go get yourself some buses and just find the safest paths, get them into the tunnel, and kill some crawler in between, then when you have actually got all buses into the tunnel, then kill even more crawlers.... oh and for whatever reason you won't get to load the obelisk of light, but it was in the mission objective... and the mission ends and here are some screenshots: this is actually from a recent play, this is actually a level 20 crawler, but there goona be just enough tib to either get tier1 and 2 plus all relevant upgrades or tier 3 but missing other upgrades me stealing buses at the beginning of the mission this is the tunnel with the shield, don't worry , just park the buses near the shield would do... optimum "position" to kill a crawler if you are using reckonner, but due to the fact that TT use armor/weapon class, deploying the reckoner doesn't mean increase in armor, because changing or should i say shifting to heavy class armor means changing defense type in TT..... you can read more here: http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Reckoner_%28Tiberian_Twilight%29 so don't be stupid and unpack your reckoners if facing titan, cause they use laser and laser kills heavy armor type! *sorry for this bad quality pic cause i forgot to take one when i had a good shot... the reason i parked my ride at their backyard was simply a mean of desperate measure... those bloody crawlers just kept on coming, and this was the best way i found to stop this madness... that the end of the last bloody crawler!!! with its big gun and all...now finally no more!! hope i have done ok... many thanks for reading mine!!! cheers

you are welcome and thank you for your support!!

hm.... ok. the plot, to be honest there is no plot, none of the things in there can qualify as plot. None of the things make any sense, but we should all know that the whole game doesn't make any sense anyway, so this is the demo or bonus, it would just inherent all the negativity from the game itself. the objective stated that to commandeer three buses/shuttles, then load them up with obelisk of light, the truth is there is not gonna be any obelisk of light in the end, the buses would just disappeared in to the tunnel, possibly leads to Sam Bass' kitchen, so you are not gonna see the designated city or kane for that matter... the whole problem is that you have objectives, and the game requires you to finish the objectives, but they have nothing to do with the whole plot/story what so ever. as a commander, you won't know why you started the mission and won't know how would the whole thing ends or lead up to. Ok, the incursion war, the only reference in the mission was at the beginning of the mission, where Gideon said:"compare to this, the incursion war was but a skirmish..." the whole incursion war thing is a very obscure thing in CnC4, this is the best I can find on my beloved cnc wiki: http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Incursion_War so there is no incursion war or anything related, nor did the story exactly mention how exactly Gideon were to use the buses with obelisk of light loaded on them gonna achieve his goal. Imagine if the Night Move supposed to be some super elite kick ass mission that would bring Gideon to victorious, then imagine what the incursion war must be like..... to sum up; as a demo of a game, I think it does it job well, it got all the element from the whole game that teaches mechanics of the game and get the players to familiarize the game, such as user interface, etc. don't get me wrong, I still enjoy playing it, but as a CnC fan, nahhhh! so 0 score to plot or be a CnC. Basically, it lacks an informed intro, and it lacks any conclusive ending, and there is no FMV to go with it. So the whole mission is just about stealing buses and kill some crawlers and then some more crawlers... I hope this would fill in the gap of my most awful review. and cheers!! do take a look at the parody i did: it looks like ImageVenue mess up here, now using imageshack instead. can anybody tell me how can i enlarge the thumbnail, please??
