The question I ask is WHY WHY WHY? > > Sorry, but tell me why when I play Warcraft2 after a game of Red Alert I feel like playing Wolfenstein 3D after a game of Duke 3D? War2 is a very popular game but and because it is very simple. War2 is very much in limited in a matter of tactics and number of units you can build on a map. I have played many games of War2 and they were all looking very much like the other games of War2 I played before, which never happens when I play Red Alert. Tell me why a game between 2 players is as much interesting than a game between 6 players in War2? The only advantage of War2 over RA are the shortcuts for producing units and buildings, but the shortcuts that C&C and RA offer are far more useful than the ones in War2. Oh, by the way, you say that Blizzard makes better games than Westwood... Did not Blizzard make the dullest and least interesting game in the World, Diablo? I am going to sell it after a very few games. You say that RA runs slow on you PC. You sure have a 486. Every games programmed under Direct X will run poorly on your 486, including Diablo and every future games from Blizzard, including Starcraft, of course. Now this last test: take a unit and send it from one corner to the opposite one. What will happen? In C&C and RA, the unit will make its way (if not killed, of course) to its destination. In War2, you will find the unit stupidly staring at a tree in the middle of the map. So... Tell us again what game is superior?
