the first missions (im only at second now, in australia) are after Tiberian sun (second tiberian war) going to the events of the third tiberian war (which starts with the destruction of the philadelphia station).
As i expected 90% of all the new units are just retextured.. (even not remodeled...) I loled when i saw the basic nod infantry with a new portrait and needed a magnifying lens to see something new to the model itself.. same goes for almost all sub faction- units...
There are some new fresh units like the MARV,the mechapede, the giant spider or whatever it is.. and that's all.. Damn, how i despise all EA-ish from the bottom of my heart..
and i can't understand... the story, is it before or after the Tiberium war events? Because it makes no sense to me..
EA, it's in the recycling!
Don't expect anything good from them and you won't be disappointed, I haven't been disappointed in EA for several years now they are doing things exactly as I expect them to.
the only thing that keeps me playing is the story lol. The missions themselve are rather tedious and boring ... Its mostly "mass build A to defeat B" ... most of the time just mass venoms and either scorps (vs NOD units) or Rocket Troops (vs GDI) ... Only critical part is usually the first 5 minutes, when you have to counter the initial attack (especially vs GDI with their damn mix of mechs and tons of infantry ...) but once you are past that , its 100% cookie cutter tactics (see above)...
oh btw, im playing on hard (thats why it takes 2-3 tries at first to get past 5-10 minutes).
anyone else playing on hard ? i struggle hardcore with the 4th mission (i think it is 4th , the one after you "persuade" brother marcius(sp?) i i'm getting hardcore raped after 2-5 minutes into the game and i don't know what to do lol. To make matters worse, you can't build aircraft (venoms) ... infantry get shredded by those small walkers and tanks take too long to build to counter anything (and get raped by rocket infantry and orcas ...) i'm so pissed right now im considering going down to normal lol.
its ridiculous how much the ai cheats in hard lol (missions, didnt played skirmish yet). AI keeps pumping out units after units yet doesn't harvests anything lol.
I have a French Windows but I want the game in english... unfortunately it don't give me any choice at installation so I have no choice playing in french? That's stupid..
edit nvm, thx for the reply I simply closed the installation when I saw that even the folder name was in french... the language selection was right after.

at install chose advanced and then you can select English.
Isn't it be possible to choose the "Additional languages" tab during installation similar to the original C&C3 game, there were quite a few different choices when I checked it but perhaps it won't show on some editions of XP/Vista depending on language settings.
EDIT: Karmeck beat me to it.
Also got a D3D9 related crash on one of the later maps when I was about to capture a space station, probably too many units active for the engine to handle.
:/ wtf the ending in weak , you capture the Tasadus and thats it , this addon gave nothing to the main story line , i though it will show the events after Kane passed trough the SpaceGate but nooo ... they remade the whole nod story HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT FROM THE beginning ,anyway looks like they learned from they mistakes and finally made those movies cut-scenes watchable and more climatic then those crap scenes in the main C&C3 game
The only thing they added is a gigantic skirmish map like in RISK when you battle the whole world in turns or in real time battles ...
This milking addon is a waste of space if you ask me
o and this game is STAND-ALONE when you edit the msi file with Installshield and remove the two needed lines , it becomes a stand alone game makes you think why EA blocked it ...
Ep1 = Expansion Pack 1
(If I understood you correctly and you thought it meant Episode 1.)
EDIT: Ofcourse EA could still release more expansion packs but I think it's just how they named the file, now the priority for this team would probably be Red Alert 3.
Am I the only one staring at the chick's jugs during the cut scenes? I know I should be paying attention to my mission, but geez I haven't heard one word.

remove this and you get your stand-alone game
Could you explain this please what lines have to be removed I use installshield2008.
2 or 3 missions have difficult beginnings (until you figured out how to start and do things , then they become as easy as the others). Most missions are extremely easy (in hard ...) tho.
"Capture and hold x" ... just annihilate the enemy first then capture and hold ...
last mission i didnt played like that tho , was quite a rush .. like 30 secs left to capture hehe. But anyway, overall it's ok i guess. At least they filled all those story holes between cnc2 (TS) and cnc3 (and the passage to Cnc:Tiberium (or whatever the name of cnc4 is ... yes they are already working on it.)
Oh and the new units are fun. Remembers me of the CnC generals expansion, when they "added" like 12 factions (or like 3 sub factions to each factions ..) made the game a lot better and more varied.
