It plays like a dream, amazingly better than the last 4 games EA have bludgened with the series.

Kane's Wrath, Tiberium Wars, Zero Hour and Generals.


I actually quite enjoyed Generals, so looks like I'll be loving this then. x


Strange thing is, I enjoyed Generals too, but when compared to Red Alert 2, it just didn't seem very good.

Plus, before I played Generals I was more into Total Annihalation than any other game, so it just felt so damn different.

Had one game just now, got my arse handed to me by a friendly Rising Sun player. Takes a while to get used to it all and the new hud.

Add me and we'll play: Roonmastor

Edit: Seems you can only add people who are in the same lobby as you. Might need to set a time and place for everyone.

This game is very balanced. Excruciatingly so. 2v2 (But my partner quit out) and I couldn't take my enemy down, nor could they do anything to slow me down. Got bored and quit.

Having loads of fun with this, stuff dies quickly but you can counter a mass army with less if you have the right things.

Wahey, it's actually downloading now, finally.

I'm not a heavy RTS player, I just like them a lot. Expect me to be bottom of any game we play.

I hope my PC can run this when it comes out. It can just about do C&C3. I'm looking forward to some online games with this once it's out. Well and it goes down to sub £20 :P

I had a pretty good game yesterday, 3 of us 2v1. The other two had obviously played it before and set up quickly, luckily I had one of them on my team. They started to fight each other, ignoring me, just as my buddy's about to be wiped out my cavalry swoops in with several tanks and a a dozen or so air units including a Bomber (I was Russia), he had few anti air units and those he did have were taken out by my tanks quickly. My buddy flees into water and starts to set up camp, all the enemies buildings and units were gone.

Not knowing how it classes a defeat I went out to try and find one unit that was alive or something but it froze whilst I was on my way :(

I'm up for some games later.

Really didn't enjoy this when I tried it, so I've now uninstalled it.
