OK.  I assume you mean TS multiplayer is the hardest?

Of the games i have played (C&C, RA, RA2, TS), i found C&C to have the best
single player games (RA was good, but not best).  For multiplayer, it is
split between C&C and TS, but only because TS is more modern, so more
flexible (ie three can allie together against the AI).
I will always find the Orca helicopter to be my best unit.  The devastation
of an Ion cannon and Orca attack on a Construction Yard won many a battle
for me.

Yes RA was all about tank rushes. so i never played multiplayer. stayed with
C&C, then jumped to TS.

My hopeless dream? C&C upgraded to modern multiplayer capabilities.
