USA rush is harder to do and have to do it away (far) from enemy base, and
it's costly if you fail, with new GLA tunnel, it's is cheap, worker only
cost $200, and tunnel..was it $700 or $800?  and tunnel builds within 10
seconds.. with full two tank hunters coming out of it.  for get it about
attacking them if it's toxic or stealth GLA.   I see there is no point of
playing against good (or even so so) GLA player when I play small 1on1 map
if I am not GLA.  this is cheap, it changed the balance of the game on GLA
side too much earlier on game.  there is no way I can think to go block
someone from coming down to my base on 1 on 1 map and start rushing with
tunnels, while I play as USA or china.  EA should have consider this and
should have made tunnel 1) more costly to build 2) slower to build 3)
without 2 tank hunters right away, if they were going to build GLA tunnel so
easy to build.  I made it to CC in Geneals and am currently colonel, usually
play china (infantry).  there countless times I lost to newbie playing GLA
in only map he choose to play because he knows it's easy to rush on that
map.

i sure as hell hope they change this in next patch.
