C&C3 updates

The installer sucked, but the game actually is quite nice.
There are a LOT of full-motion videos.  And unlike the videos for the earlier versions of C&C (I remembered they were interlaced to reduce size), C&C3 delivers full high-resolution videos.  Both the cinematic and voice acting are believable.

When a new objective becomes available in game, the game pauses and the camera zooms over the target objective (but there’s a jerking motion that makes me sea sick).

The game appears to be hard-capped at 30 FRS, apparantly even 20 FRS is highly playable according to Gamespot’s video/hardware guide.  I’ve played through almost all of chapter 1 (beginning missions) of GDI, and there hasn’t been _really_ big fights where my computer slows to a crawl yet.  I’m thinking of toning down the game (medium textures, medium shader effects, instead of high), but first I got to work out how to get a FRS count to appear on screen.
