Ahem. what computer are you using? 486? My friend has a p75 with 8MB of ram 
and it runs prefect through Win95.

Umm, 1.

no lag..... maybe for you. I've heard horror stories of lag on there that 
surpasses quake!

Oh gee. Like BLizzard doesn't. "Oh gee, let's make a kick-ass game, then sell 
it for free! Yeah, we'll stay in buisiness for a loong time now!"

Russians can't win without tanks. If there's water, and you know how to play 
right with the allies, it turns out to be very balanced.

Right. You probably tank rushed em all. And how did you get to 400 if you 
didn't like the game? If you don't like it, why did you play it for so long? 
>but am very dissapointed with some aspects of it.
Yeah, well, I'm dissapointed with a lot of things in Warcraft2, and life in 
general. Nothing's perfect.

Because you most likely just buy a game, find cheats on the net right aay, 
beat the game, then throw it away. Only with red alert, there weren't any 
cheats, so you just gave up on it.
Dumbass.
