Command and Conquer 3

Yes but also knowledge of things that no1 else knows. Force fire was something like that. 80% of my opponents didn`t knew that and couldn`t have known that unless they used CTRL next to units.

Even Dune2 had stuff like that. When I played Dune2 I was like 6 and I found out that units that are on screen move faster than units offscreen (weird huh, but it was 1992, first RTS!)

Also the damage that units did to eachother depended on how they were positioned.

See this.



Here u can see how much damage a unit does at what position compared to the enemy unit its facing.

From bottom to top damage is twice as good as from left to right. Its funny. U can have a great advantage against an enemy comp if u use it



Unit 1 attack first. The enemy attacks unit 1 and u attack him. Both do some damage. 1 Sec later u come with Unit 2 and u do twice as much damage. Basically u got 3 times his firepower. . And on top of that when his unit is beyond 50% damage he only has half the firepower so u will totally own that unit hehe.

(some, not heavy or unfair) Bugs and tricks are good.

First off DMRaider, your drawing skills are terrible, no offense buddy, but come on ) Credit for stick figure drawings, I actually say I can't do much better myself )

So, let me make a couple points in brief for C&C 3 netcode. Not netput...netcode.

With our drive for "RTS as a Sport" and the match broadcast feature we are innovating, having good network code is of paramount importance. We don't want people all over the world watching matches with lag, thats no fun.

That said, we just finished rewriting the network layer of our code, and while we don't promise zero lag (no game has no zero lag), the host should no longer have an advantage and we feel very confident in that the game is much more responsive.

With C&C 3, its our goal to make click and move instantaneous, no lag, no wait, you click, they move, and they go kick some butt.

That's as much in-depth detail as I can provide, but in a nutshell, we are rewriting our network code for those who like to hear the word code more than layer )

Great news Predator, may it be.

As you said yourself, equal chances and hence zero lag is needed for a competitive gaming environnement.

Heh as everyone from the recent bfme 2 bt will tell you i am a big moaner about the bfme 2 lag, after 1.05 i cant even play the game unless i host .

It is ridiculas and as agm points out at competative play its such a stress maker in some ways though cw is pretty poor. Basicly 100%^ with above me.
Anyhow in answer to ya question juju nope i wouldent buyt if it had the same krappy lag so you guys buy it and tell me what its like lol.

ps: agm? dont mention the matrix and the recent starwars films i start to melt if they are mentioned. nooooooooooooo.......*insert splodgy noise here*.

as long as they ditch Gamespy, I can't see much more difficulties.

But they NEED TO DUMP GAMESPY, cause it is ubershitty, especially after takeover by IGN

predator = apoc
I think he fancied a name change

Good news predator.

If that is true, everything has just become _SO_ much more funny than I could ever have imagined. ^^

That would mean that Apoc (like EA) chose to move on to the next nick (Game, in EA's case) instead of increasing the reputation of the old one (patching old games to improve them) ^^

_rofl_

good to hear predator

Your right, there is no need to change Netput in C&C3. However maybe you should consider adding Isengard as 4th secret faction

Awesome to hear Predator! Im pretty sure this will convince tons of doubting BFME2 players

Btw, hows the search for Aaron going?
You already got any clues wheres hes being kept?

-Netput

I think everyone knows predator is aaron after he used a pretty shit voice changer to do his latest podcast.

pin this as a promess and we will see if mr e.a is cool...or not ^^

As much as I'd like to believe it certainly not holding my breath. BfME2 was also touted as a game targeting "pro players" and i found this



in regards to bfme2 before it came out. well it lagged just as much or mb more and the server crashed more so...

i won't be buying this game until i hear from alot of ppl that the server issues are fine among other gameplay related things...really have extremely little faith in ea as an rts producing company atm. would be nice for this to be changed but unfortunately i doubt it especially considering cnc3 is more targeted towards sp from what little i've heard. well when a joke like bfme in which it wasn't said that it was targeted towards sp (and i hope it wasn't as a blind armless monkey could beat the hardest sp in bfme for both games on its first try) then i shudder to thing what a mess this game could be when it was released.

however i nv played the ccg or zh so idk what teh server issues were on there. even if there was still a decent amount of lag at very least host shouldn't get a significant advantage or one at all...

ok now we have a promess about cnc3, maybe can we get an anti lag patch in bfm2 data ? or maybe bfme 2 player don't deserve it...mmm time to make a new juju's topic in data forum

ps: i'm sure e.a love me ^^
