 Are u stupid ???? if u are building mages and upgrading them too but
the other only build grunts in the beginning or goes for the ogres u
never have a chance against it becuz u have less ogres/grunts. so stop
saying the bullshit about war2 more tactics, its just a rush game too...
the only thing that can stop rushes is teh map its played on , dumbass.
and about teh better game : RA sux, War2 sux more.
C&C is the best game ever!
