Most of the EA-haters (people who think C&C is all downhill since EA bought out Westwood studios) see it as a money-grabbing policy. On the other hand, the game itself takes up two CDs so presumably to bundle two playable versions they would need to bundle 4 CDs or package 3 CDs with one CD an "install" CD and the other two "play" CDs - a complicated and probably expensive setup. I guess Generals also doesn't obey the traditional idiom of there only being two sides and hence, two CDs. Nor does it have full-motion video briefings, which are so big as to necessitate one CD for each side. -- Tim "HeXetic" G. www.planetcnc.com
