Command and Conquer 3

This week GR.org has an excellent tip for viewing BO's and strategies from skirmish games just to silence the hunger for the real multiplayer replays, for which we will have to wait still 20 days

So a temporal solution for now:
Right-click on your CNC3 icon, choose properties and add in the target location -spectator
Example:
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Demo\CNC3Demo.exe" -spectator

Now you are able to watch your skirmish games and other's as well.
You can find the replay folder in My Documents\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Demo\Replays
Please rename your replay when you post it.

Please post your replays in the singleplayer discussion forum for now, but if you think it would be helpful you may post it in the correspondive strategy forum.

So now can we make .cnc3replay an accepted file type so we don't have to zip them (I tried to post one just a minute ago, but it wouldn't let me until I zipped it)

pretty sick.

They put all kinds of "secret" stuff in the game

More like simply disabling it for the Demo but totally failing in that aspect

Sexy

Nice find

Well until tomorrow when a global changes it, you can upload the files with rep extension for example, people can easily change its name when downloaded.

Maybe they have 'easter egg' command line parameters as well

Thats really great Species8472

You are da man !!

Well it is not my idea, I just heard it from Ithildur

Though it is appreciated

something tells me a lot of these easter eggs are really bugs and shortsidedness... why would you want to give out the entire plot before release, for example.

The plot is out?

yeah but everyone with knowledge has kept it secret... such as myself... I know why the scrin are there and what happens at the end, but I dont want to ruin it for anyone. Plus, what I dont know, is whats in the movie cutscenes, simply what gets said in all the missions.

Also, I tried this on one of my replays and it went goofy. About 10 minutes in, all of my actions quit working, so I'm just building units and letting them sit in my base. I'm going to try the same replay again and see if it happens again.

Yes, this is happening for many people. The replays don't work correctly, and midway through it changes what really happened in the game.

So much for this...

Tip of the Week turned Trip of the Week.. but a good find nonetheless.

Well it is obvious that the replay system isn't ready, but I didn't stumble upon a bugged replay, maybe you only get a bugged replay if you play as Nod.

I hear some reports about replay problems with Nod?

ya it happened with me 2

i was playing in NOD and i won
but when i watched the replay i lost

please be sure is this bug happens only in NOD or in GDI too???

nah my replay was as GDI.

The difficulty level might matter, I think the easier armies are more predictable. My first replay that wasn't ruined is against easy army.

But you cant telecast in the replays yet, so not much point in making them.

Nice one!

Hm... let's debug this a little more and see what we can find.
