C&C3 360 to support camera News

Xbox 360 PC News by Robert Purchese

10 January, 2007

Gone are the cries of "I wish I'd seen his face," as EA announces camera support for the 360 version of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

"You can now literally see the face of your opponent while you decimate him in Xbox Live battles. Plus, for the winner, the Spotlight cam gives you an unchallenged ten seconds of fame to let your enemy know exactly how you feel about your victory."

We know how we'd celebrate: it involves a fairy-liquid bottle and three ripe bananas. What form will your victory dance take, readers?

As well as camera support, EA is offering 360 gamers exclusive multiplayer Capture the Flag and Siege modes. The gameplay and user interface are going to be built from the ground up, which we expect will be very similar to the control system in The Battle for Middle-Earth II.

The PC version of the game will launch on the 28th March, with the console release following later in the year.

Meanwhile you can see what executive producer for the game, Mike Verdu, had to say when we recently caught up with him.

Alternatively you can tank-rush over to the game's website for more information.

Why on Terra would I want to watch nerds sweat?

I don't care about the camera; Will a USB mouse be supported?

EA continue to outdo themselves. At least on a 360 spyware comes naturally ;) Buy fools buy!

RTS + gamepad = pointless pretty much.

That's going to be hilarious, best reason I've heard for buying a 360 really.

Watching people on camera during UNO makes me feel weird. And no, I don't mean that tingly sensation in my pants.

I just don't get the appeal of watching someone else stare at a screen.

From playing Rainbox Six its quite obvious that no one actually owns a camera.

I thought of buying a camera for Rainbow 6. But it's too expensive. I don't see my face and others certainly don't comment on my face either. So there is no real use for me. Yes, seeing other peoples faces in games (especially in the form of Rainbow 6) may be fun, but I don't need a camera for that since I'll be seeing them anyway. In the end I pay for a device that amuses others and for that it is too expensive.

You've experienced that too then?

When I've been playing Poker several people have told me that lots of shagging etc goes on over the Uno cameras, but I've no idea if it's true.

I'm not interested in playing any game that makes me watch anybody else at all, a lot of the time its bad enough having to listen to a bunch of twats over the voice comms without having to watch them as well. I hope it is optional and your are not forced to watch someone just because they have a camera.

(I often don't bother even getting the voice comms headset out during online games as I find it more of a painful distraction than a help most of the time. Generally only when I know the people I'm playing with/against will I use it).

I got the camera for Rainbow 6, but I only really wanted it for offline.

Turns out you need to go online to create yourself on it...


Works great as a PC webcam though

I got one for R6. If you don't see your face very often in R6, Der_tolle_Emil, then you're definitely not using cover enough! I use it all the time so my sexy (if somewhat sinister) visage is onscreen regularly! I must admit, I was VERY impressed with the quality of the live vision camera, it does work incredibly well in R6 if you manage to take good photos/get someone to help you :)

I forgot that you see your face when you are in cover :). But I guess the novelty wears off after the first few matches.

Terrible idea.

There's a reason why video phones never took off.

I guess since BfME: II sold well, EA thinks us console owners actually want to see them make more RTS' for consoles.

Well... maybe in Europe, seeing as EA is the greatest thing ever - according to sales at least?

I've had fun with my camera on video chat and sending pictures attached to messages.

It sounds like most of you are embarassed to see and be seen. If you had actual friends you'd find it can be a lot of fun.
