Although i do like wc2 i would have to disagree with this post guard towers
 in wc2 are quite easy to take out with ogres, and anyway if you can build
 cannon towers  you can build ballistas. Yes,the resource system is cool but
 it needs the regrow that c&c / RA have. And yes the whole allying with the
 enermy thing sux.
 I would have to say though WC2 and RA are pritty evenly matched but C&C is
 better than both. (although the system for building structures in WC2 is far
 far better)
