I'm doing this for the badge but at the same time I'll be writing some things about this game.

General information:
Command and Conquer 3 is a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game that offers multiplayer and single player mode. Sadly, multiplayer is down and will no longer be up forever (that's what I know). There is still a way using certain apps like hamachi to do so but it's not public anymore.

Content:
There are many great maps from basic trainings to precision timings in the campaign. There are also skirmish maps that can be used for the multiplayer mode or practicing your skill with AI. The units in the game has a lot of different variety from infantries, vehicles, and aircrafts. These units are also splited into 3 different factions with different play style. Overall, the content for campaign is great if you compare with the expansion pack (Command and Conquer 3: Kane's wrath), but the units varies a lot more in the expansion pack. I forgot to mention that there are custom maps and mods in the game too.

Quality:
Can't say a lot of things about this, the game was created in 2007 and the expansion 2008. It actually is categorized to be a great quality during those years. For quality about gamplay, the units are balanced and are well executed in the game. Sometimes they might bug out under the map or not following certain commands but it happens quite rare. The quality for the genre RTS fits perfectly.

Weaknesses (downsides):

- There are no more updates to this game except community updates which are rarely seen.
- Multiplayer needs friends that you know since it's impossible to connect randomly to a person. Sequels are dead/ruined (Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight).
- After researching a bit in the game, Brutal AI is somewhat cheating for the economy because of its unstoppable economy even when there are no tiberiums left on his field. But if you are looking for a challenge, this AI is for you.
- Not a lot of skirmish maps other than community made maps
- Problems with certain OS like windows 10, windows 8.1, ect

The Conclusion:
This game was made about 10 years ago, so it's not perfect and even games these days are not perfect. The price is really not that worth it, I recommend you to wait for sale. The game, based on what I see, is rated 9/10.

Some stuffs:

- The campaign can be really challenging in hard mode
- There is a level editor for the game, unfortunately steam version has some problems with it. There is a fix but I'm not sure if it works for all users
- There is a fix to the crashing problems in on windows 10 and other stuff
- The best RTS that I've ever played in my life, might be replaced but this will always be somewhere in my heart :). The game changed the way I think, more strategic certainly.
- The expansion pack has a server where you'll be able to go online and play matches with people around the world. It also has tournaments (sometimes/rarely) and some updates.

Final bits: I talk about the expansion in this review because it still has potential on reviving the game, but I prefer missions and co-op (no co-op, just my style) so I write it down here.
