I've had my beta key for quite a while now. Quite amazing it is.

Thanks InsaneNutter!

I'v heard its very different from previouse games. Used to love Red Alert. Wondering how this one plays.

Could it be, that my Gamespot account is a Facebook-connected one, causing the problem? I entered my usual Gmail adress when registering for the beta, not the Facebook proxy redirect.

I think its to do with the time you signed up at, it was posted here before it was front page news on any major gaming websites. I guess after it was spread to a massive website the list for keys got huge.

Safinn told me my key was no good to him so once its been used thats it i guess. would be nice if they could have been shared like the RA3 keys.

I got my key yesterday anyway... But the game isn't what i expected and I have no clue on what I can do exactly.

Its beyond a joke.

When you start you have access to only the most basic of units like simple tanks and men.

How are you suppose to take on people who have played it and have access to motherships etc? Its a rubbish flawed system and the person at EA who decided it should be shot.

yeah, in Hell all games are made by EA.

in the red alert 3 beta, they released keys in big blocks, so those of us who are waiting may have to wait until the next block releases. (this is complete hypothesis, but they probably wait until the current batch gets bored with it and stops playing, that way they constantly have players and they dont have to worry about server space)

i never enjoyed online multiplayer c&c, i only like LAN games with friends and i always love single player campaigns. there was alot lost when EA bought out Westwood, but the AI has gotten a million times better. of course, that probably wouldve happened anyway, because of industry advances.

They say there are 9 circles of Hell, I say the circles are actually the EA game discs.

EA does get it right every now and then with some games though.

'good to hear' that this beta isn't anything too special.. In my opinion, EA's Command & Conquer games are too limited and unbalanced to be serious RTS games, in fact, I dare to say that there is no accurate strategy involved other than knowing your units abilities, trying to know what your opponent does, and most of all, speed. I'm not willing to do custom key bindings and such. Well if you play the good RTS games at hardcore level you'll need speed and key bindings too. It's just that with those games like the classic Command & Conquer, you were always surprised and delighted when something new happened at the battlefield, EA's RTS games don't appear to do that.

So in other words, C&C 4 will only be suitable for LAN parties so that you can have fun dazzling arround, don't try to play this hardcore.
