As can be shown by a great many of Doomers', Duke Nukem 3ders', and Dark
Forces players, many of the maps/missions that are available to be
downloaded, are junk.  I downloaded a total of about 4 new levels for
Doom II, of which none have been saved, and 2-3 for Dark Forces, also
none of which I saved.  Why?  They where junk.  Simplistic layouts, and
the main difficulty was the fact that there were only the harder enemies
(cyberdemons/Dark Troopers/Boba Fett [yes, one DF lvl actually had 6!
Boba Fetts!])
Levels created by the creators tend to be more play based.

Is RA unbalanced? In solo play, somewhat.  I can't speak for
multi-player, as I have yet to try.  All we can do is continue to make
our veiws known about what appear to be the largest play inconsistencies
in the game, and if Westwood listens, they will fix them.  RA does not
require a patch, as the tank rush is not a bug, and the game is playable
in its' current form.  Westwood appears to listen to what is said about
their software, and I feel that they will rectify the problem.  As for
purchasing the Counterstrike add-on, I doubt you will see it for more
than $20-30.  While $30 is high for an add-on, wait a few months, and
you'll probably see it on the $19.99 and under rack.
If we don't support Westwood, Westwood won't support us, and then no one
is happy.
