I'm not new to C&C games.  I've been playing them for years.  Every
now and then I log in at Westwood to play some online games and am
reminded that speed kills.  Does anyone know what's up with players
being able to amass troops faster than me?  I get my basic buildings
up, 2 ore trucks and WAMM I'm nailed by multiple units requiring
battle labs.  There's no way they can build that fast.  Is this a
cheat?  My clue that it is a cheat is that my opponents seem to always
be adjusting the game speed, but I don't see any increase/decrease in
how long it takes my units to build/move.

Where's the fun?  They get to clobber me in 5 minutes.  Isn't that
like watching the same tv show over and over?  You always know the
outcome.  I just don't get it.

what i have learned is to only play with friends
most people online are dweebs, jerks and idiots
seem more interested in showing how stupid they are
just read the messages in the chat area
half love to be thrown out for language
the other half are playing with themselves

i guess the really serious people leave quickly, so only the neaderthals
(sp) are left
sound like u like RA?
does the game u are playing allow u to ally with a friend an play against
the AI?

Yes it does.  I'm playing RA2 and Yuri's Revenge.  I've got some
friends in Colorado, California, and Texas that I can go head to head
with, but I'm more addicted than them.

but no side by side? "shoulder to shoulder and backs to the wall"? (ala
Davey Crocket and the private from F Troop Private Duffy at his retelling of
the Alamo)
RA2 an Yuri do have alliance abilities.. that way they can be on your  side
and you can share tactics, etc during the game
Max and Doug and I do that all the time with TS/FS
