Face the Enemy is better.

None of these C&C games have really given me as much enjoyment as Dune 2 did on the Amiga. Red Alert 2 in particular is just plain strange.

I've got Red Alert.
no, I can't come out and play with you, unfortunately. I'm busy doing "nothing".

I was never keen on RA2. It just didn't feel right.
Generals isn't that good, either.

And if no one can join, never mind, I'll just keep playing skirmished until the AI actually builds a radar dome, something I've only seen about a dozen times in all my years of RA.

I love it when they give up, sells everything and storms me with all they have, including the harvester.

Indeed. I've just had a quick game on Central Conflist Extreme, and they would keep rushing me with all sorts of stuff, light tanks, APCs, you name it. Of course, I had more turrets near bridges and so on, so they had no chance.
For once they didn't do the usual thing and fill their base with useless vehicles, so that the harvesters can't get in or out.

i have it, but i ain't got no time no more.

This seems to happen with every game I try and get a game of. I seem to be the only person I know of with the ability to put gaming before real matters.
It's not entirely a good thing...

[kode]

who said I prioritize real matters? I just have other non-important matters that isn't gaming. like, ehr... listening to moloko and browsing boards.

[kasperl]

well, i have homework, cleaning my room, checking these boards, eating, sleeping and stuff like that.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Well they do say that cleanliness is next to Godliness, but being an atheist, well...

[Knight Templar]

Yes, RA2 would have been great if it were less sci-fi drama and more WWIII action. Generals played out like it would in real life, save for the terrorist mega faction with uber-tanks...

I agree, the original grunge army industrial music rocked. It always got me pumped up for the battles ahead. I think good ol' classic C&C/C&C95 are still the best. They should just remake them with updated graphics and expanded multiplayer and release it.. I'd buy it, for 40 bucks even, provided that they didn't screw up the units/balance/classic goodness that the original had. Also, the videos before the missions are fantastic, especially for their time.

I spent hundreds of hours making mods and singleplayer missions for RA around five years ago. I started making changes to the Future Wars mod out there but added so many new things that it almost became an entirely different mod. I spent a long time modifying the AI as well; although I couldn't really make him smarter, I was at least able to build more of everything.

I had couple of these unusual maps as well; one used the same terrain as that "The Hills Have Eyes" map but had all of the players allied at the start and fighting one extra computer in the middle that had a gigantic base, with everyone winning if that computer was destroyed. Another had a large river going through the map and had a big fleet of ships come onto the map every 20 minutes and go through the river, attacking anything on the way, and then leave through the other side; the player(s) also saw a timer on the screen that counted down the time until the next fleet arrival. Pity I lost all of the mods during a computer screwup once, although I found some of the maps and some screenshots.
