I liked the idea, don't get me wrong. And the campaign was full of fun, campy moments like Egypt, dinosaurs and The Moon, no complaints there. My issue was with multi. The Soviets were already weaker than the Allies in RA2 (marginally - Soviets had a strong early game, but once you got past the 5-7ish minute mark, gg, Allies will piss on you) and they took units away from the Soviets for YR, and actually added less new ones for them than they did the Allies. You compare the hero units: Boris - a man who can target a building, has to live for 10 seconds for MIGs - which can be shot down - to blow up a building to Tanya who can just C4 them instantly - oh and ships and tanks too, why not! - and it sums the whole thing up. ...not that it mattered, because Yuri was even more broken than the Allies.
