Red Alert 2

I neversaid it was a rocketeer rush, i said rocketeers and patriots for base defence.

prism tanks and mirage tanks would be better for the rush, a few elite prisms and the base crumbles.

i liked useing aircraft carriers as allies and as well using the chronoshift as a weapon by transporting land troops in to the water

Have C&C2. Played it. Fun for a while but the AI is just too lacking (just reveal their intended paths and you'll see all those lines converging a on a single spot) --really no tactics to speak of. A fun trick is to find a chock point where the AI is set to pass through and place those steel airship units (can't remember the name) over that area and set them to bombard ground. It's hilarious to see the AI send hordes of units only to be pulverized as the all try to get though the tiny gap!
Never played it in MP so can't comment on human vs. human play.

I'm just more into realistic games. Would love to see C&C using actually existing units: no sci-fi units. C&C:Generals is sort of like that but the graphics would deep-fry most systems so it's not worth buying unless you want to get a migrane from trying to adapt your vision to 5fps!

It really irritates me that the Allies get Harriers but the Soviets get the stupid blimp. What happened to the MiG?

I have Generals but it is really slow, so I have played RA2 online for a 2 years + now (not recently) though).

I like Red Alert 2, I downloaded it cause I thought the idea of suicidal cows, dolphins and giant squid just plain dumb so I downloaded but I've been trying to find it so I can buy it. Played through and thought it was great but I prefer Red Alert 1 to Red Alert 2. A perfect game would be all the interesting stuff from Red Alert2(men fortifing buildings, GIs making pillboxes, and those neat things like the specific national units) along with the new graphics mixed in with all the wonderfull units from Red Alert1(Mig, Flak Guns, and so forth)

That would be cool.

I agree with Esckey. That would be really cool.
