December Community Summit I'm under NDA for a few more weeks, but in the meantime you can get tons of C&C3; info in my post-summit write-up that, in Predator's own words, "is pretty borderline on the NDA".
C&C3; Music: Steve Jablonsky? There's some hard evidence pointing to film-industry composer Steve Jablonsky being tasked with C&C3;'s soundtrack; have a look for yourself and then come sound off on C&C3;'s soundtrack in the forums.

History of RTS - Part 3 13:32 PST | Dario | Print News | Mail News GameReplays.org has posted the third in the series of articles about RTS and its history.

New Release of ICFRA 12:36 PST | Dario | Print News | Mail News After several serious issues in the recently released version of the mod, Daz has decided to put together a new release, version 2.5 (see complete list of changes). The download link is on the mod's Web site. In case you haven't tried it out yet, maybe you need some encouragement:
What does high definition bring to gaming? There is no question that high fidelity visuals make our games much more immersive. The new generation of hardware currently rolling out for consoles and PCs alike is allowing us to create stunning in-game visuals that you need a high definition display to appreciate. In the case of C&C; 3, there is an added bonus: Our live action and high-end CG sequences can be played in high definition... and they look so much better that way.
FilePlanet subscribers can click the button and rest assured that their FP download client will automagically grab the demo as soon as it goes live (assuming it does).
Of course, that day could be a ways away, and no word on when the general public will be able to get their hands on the demo, but still, it's yet another sign pointing to a freebie version for the skeptics, doubters, haters and other cautious types out there to fiddle with before deciding whether to fork over the kash for Kane.
