Ahh, so they started coding C&C back in the 1400's then? Come on SVGA
support has been a big thing for about a year now. From what I can see
they spent more time creating "fill_up_a_CD" movies than actually coding
the game. The AI sucks, the movement code requires major work, and if they
had actually played the game they would have found problems such as two
harvestors stalemated on a bridge with 4 billion units behind them waiting
to cross the bridge (this causes the game to run in snail mode on a
P5-100). I really wish that they had dropped the engine from DUNE2 and
started again.
