Good one Andrew, I absolutely agree. WC2 is a load of rubbish, the reason why Red Alert runs slow is that the guy has a poorly configured computer. WC2 simply does not have the depth and graphics to compare with Red Alert. WC2 just has basically identical units on both sides. I mean, the original writer of this message must be really unintelligent. True there are flaws in the game of Red Alert, but you can do no better. Dark Reign can be awesome but until the final release version is out, can judge how good it is. I just wish that all of you out there will put your prejidice away and just give a good think before you say "That sucks"
