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.

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? -- Fight Win Prevail But Never Cheat

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.

"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 -- Fight Win Prevail But Never Cheat
