    Do we have any C&C fans here? I smurfin' love C&C... well at least I did... until C&C4... which was horrid. Red Alert I can tolerate because it was always a bit corny but EA seem to be cranking the cheese factor up to max now.

    Also Generals 2 - by the looks of things they've turned that into some sort of onlin battle arena game and not a thing with full fledged campaigns etc? :/

    My favorite RTS series! Favorite entries being Red Alert 2, Westwood's last game, and Generals, EA's first game. There's really nothing else in gaming like the online RTS community.

    I agree with how EA has cheapened the series. They missed the ball with Red Alert 3 that the scenes aren't supposed to be 100% intentionally made to be cheesy. That's only supposed to come off to the extent that it's a low budget production.

    Also, they heard the backlash about Generals 2's non-campaign. They said something a long the lines of "that's part of why we're switching to the free to play model, so we can listen to our fans and iterate based on their feedback." I don't even know where to begin on that one.

    Red Alert 2 was pretty great, and the intro was the best thing ever.

    I install Red Alert 2 and Dune 2000 and play for hours every couple of months or so. I uninstall so I can live a normal life again.

    I won't rule that out entirely, but I will say it's highly unlikely.

    You probably would own me. My skill at RTS games somehow got worse as I got older. D:

    Krissy beat you to it. By quite a bit.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I repeated krissy's post on purpose.
