I'm still sticking with my original statement. But I have to clarify my reasoning. When it comes to single-player (solo) gaming, Tiberian Sun is the best of the C&C/Red Alert series! Why? Let me count the reasons. Tiberian Sun missions are the most varied and interesting. It isn't all about building up a base and destroying the enemy's base. When you play as a GDI or NOD, you think one side really is superior (I thought GDI was until I realized NOD had better defensive base capabilities). The units & vehicles were really ahead of its time when you compare the game to RA or RA2. And lastly, TS really was harder for me compared to the other series. When it comes to multi-player (online) gaming, I imagine that TS is the best to play with too, although I imagine that NOD gets played an overwhelming amount due to its superior defensive base technologies and offensive weapons (stealth, artillery, destructive chemical weapons, lasers, burrowing, etc). The only good thing I can think about GDI is if someone gets to build too many bombers, then GDI will attrition NOD to death. -- Hilary Duff turns 18 in this amount of time (I know you're waiting for it): http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?day=28&month=09&year =2005&hour=00&m !efil on evah I "I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it." -- Comedian Jack Handey
