CGW mentioned something about C&C2. And that westwood is very quiet about it. 
The projected date of completion is Christmas 97. Given westwood's track 
record, you really have to multiply it by 2. So a more conservative release 
date is June 98. Also, I really hope this time westwood will keep quiet and 
not hype up the product too much until the game is 90% complete.

I think the reason Red Alert sells so well despite many people's 
disappointment in the game is because of the reputation of the orginal C&C. 
Now, if people based their impression on RA when buying C&C2, I very much 
doubt they will sell well.

I just hope westwood will listen more to the players and be humble about it or 
else its going to fall down very heavily. This is especially important in lieu 
of the many clones that are coming out targeting at C&C particularly (KKND, 
Dark Reign, Dominion etc...) If they fall, many companies are waiting to take 
over as leader of real-time (modern/futuristic) battles. (Note: warcraft don't 
count since the theme is fantasy and is really a league of its own)
