I'm There"... i never played multiplayer, too much emphasis on one tactic, tank rushes...graphics not much better that the original...no skirmish,..cannot comment on 2 expansion packs... 3)Tiberian Sun..piss poor single missions, no soul in game...sux big time. nothing was cutting edge or new....but wait, the skirmish and multiplayer make up for that... i have played multipaler for about a year, can ally with another human against the AI...never gets old. we play 3-5 hour games....with Roger Wilco (TM) u can talk and play and it is super... of course modern game with modern graphics..Firestorm expansion pack does add nicely.... 4)Red Alert 2: i think single missons capture essence of RA and C&C, but then again, we were expecting MORE!... i found the multiplayer boring... so if your into single player missions, playing them over and over, it is 1,2.4...but if you want modern with that, 4...if u are into multiplayer more, get 3... -- Fight Win Prevail But Never Cheat
