Ayepecks Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 :laugh: running a game like UT2k3 on a 500 mhz machine is laughable at best. thats not really playing the game just watching a bunch of low res models running around on screen. Im glad they're upping the required hardware for games. its time to move out of the mhz and into the ghz. i want something that was built for the high end in mind instead of crap machines. if you truly love games then youll spend what you need to, to play them properly. Not if that machine has a new nVidia or ATI card and 1 gig of RAM :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Bourricot Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 What I don't like about this game, and RA2, is that the buildings do not seem to belong to the terrain. I mean, look at the earlier CNC games, like RA1, Dune 2000 (yeh ok that's not really CNC), Tiberian Dawn etc. The buildings seem to belong to the ground, mainly because of the trace of dirt around it or in front. However in RA2, and CNCG, this minor detail annoyed me quite a bit (especially in RA2). Look at the buildings, they just seem to stand there, no relation to the ground, it looks like the terrain is not part of the game any more, a bit like another dimension imho. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the " :rolleyes: ". Oh well, I'm not going to get into this again with you. Also, believe it or not, it would run games at a decent framrate. But, overall, it would be bad.

eth3l Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Okay the programming on this game sucks Arse. First the problem I have is stated in a prior message, the mouse is mapped all wrong on the main menu screen. I had to reinstall the game, and EA wants me to close every application when I run the game. (I am in XP SP1) SO I uninstalled, etc. and reinstalled. SO guess what now . . . I can move the mouse, but I cannot select any of the menu selections! Why do I have to trudge through that stupid video of world leaders mouths, and the fake little battle? Why cant programmers just make on easy non-flash enabled menu screen? This is really ****ing me off. oh my system specs? AMD XP 2400+ 512 megs RAM like 120 gigs of total drive space nVidia GeForce 4 ti 4200 SB Audigy Sony DRU 500AX more than enough power to run this stupid game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundros Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I almost have the same specs, execpt I use an ASUS A7N8X-DLX (using onboard sound, no Audigy), Radeon 8500 and 1 GB of RAM (rest is the same). And yes, it's more than enough power to run the game. And I don't know what to say for the mouse issue (maybe something to do with hardware acceleration for the mouse or a vid driver issue). If I think of something more constructive, I'll let you know. Just so you know, you can escape the world leaders using the ESC key (I think) and someone made a mod for it to eliminate the intro for good (forgot which site, just do a Google search for C&C Generals Mods and you should find it).

saiya Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I rather have a game that requires me to have the best up to date hardware, makes me feel that were rolling with the times. And also that its going to be a nice ride playing the game. Makes me think my $50 were well spend to have a nice smooth 3D based game. But also having a really cool story line to it makes it even better... *sigh* i have a 1.8ghz P4 512MB 20gb 32mb Vid and the games runs slow as hell.. *sigh*, i need to get that up to date hard ware i was talking about.. any one out there tried Sim City 4? boy, that games sure does require some high input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 any one out there tried Sim City 4? boy, that games sure does require some high input i can still run generals decent at 1024 but some parts scud storm, nuclear plast get a little jerky... also the cut scene, but everything else it great sim city 4 runs good till you city gets big, then its rediculous also, we should start playing some games online here, do some direct connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billo3121 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 only gripe is their NAT/Router issues. Can't play direct connect if you're behind a router, even if you use DMZ, force a port, etc... EAP is too focused on balancing teams and not enough on their net code, because it sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
