I agree

this game is kool, so much that I no longer play WC3: FT.

I had no prolem with ZH until EA released new patch.  after the first patch,
I had to reinstall entire games, generals and ZH, then I was able to play.
after second patch, i was able to play the game, but it seems that it has
slow down alot, especially on online gaming.  it now runs at 3/4 of original
speed i had when I didn't had to install new patch.  this is not tech issue.
because if I was able to play the game without slowing down or getting
'freeze' before in my computer, then there shouldn't be any problem even
after new patches.  this is an issue that can i address to poor quality
managment by EA.  althought i do not like WC3 as much as this game, becuase
I like WAR games, not Battles games (hate that hero crap and 100 unit cap),
this almost gives me no choice but to go back to WC3.

EA tells us to challenge everything.....why don't they challenge themselves
against superior stablity of Blizzard games?  Not once I had problems with
Blizzard games to complain about issues of performance of thier games.
