The devs gave a quick word about the AIs that I couldn't pay attention to since I've kinda arrived late and I've started playing against the easy AI as I always do when I play any game for the first time. This time, the objective was to fight against the AI. Right after that, it was time to play the game again. and the EA devs had no answer to the question. If C&C 3 becomes another Starcraft, it can be supported for many years. I've asked him how long the game would be supported, since, once EA drops its support, a considerable part of the game would be ruined. Of course, if you want to get rid of the ads, buy the game. They will also make a free client with ads for people who don't have the game to watch the broadcasts. Replays from previous versions of the game will run in the newer versions. The replays would store the Shoutcast in a very compressed format, although you would be able to override them with your Shoutcast if you wish. The broadcast matches can have someone to Shoutcast it and you could follow his camera or follow yours and you'd also have the option to shut up the guy (if TV allowed that in the soccer games, we would be so happy, wouldn't we?). Matches can be broadcasted for millions of people through the new hub, although they would work with a delay (5 minutes or more), to avoid cheating like map hacking. You'll be able to use it to schedule matches with your friends and the game could be launched with few clicks. We saw the new hub that should go live in this month (January 2007), they told us that there would be a server dedicated for this hub to manage community replays, clans and news. What we've seen in this presentation was displayed in an article for PC Gamer a week later. EALA Predator forgot to reserve the room for us, so we were kicked to the 4th floor (this time they forgot to ask us to turn off our cameras and the room had some tables with the unit lists, but I'll respect the studio and I won't post them here).

Chris showed EA's plans for replays for the game and a new hub, however, the presentation was interrupted due to booking issues. The first presentation was from Chris Corry about 'RTS as a Sport'. This time there were less Leninades and more burritos and I've eaten the Häagen Dazs ice cream (my twisted breakfast), although I had to finish it on the way to the room with the big discussion table. We've waited a few minutes outside again and we went straight to the cafeteria. I don't even remember who was in my cab with me this time.

Tuesday, we've also woke up early to be in the lobby at 8:30 for another visit to EA.
