I dont agree with the whole GamSpy being good - infact a large proportion of
the community call it GaySpy because of all the problems it has caused
people. Also they dont make an effort. I emailed the GameSpy admins to tell
them the Generals servers were down once - without even checking then
emailed me back saying it was impossible that they were down because EA
hadn't emailed them to tell them. Um... this was at like 3am Pacific time or
something like this so all the EA dudes would have been asleep.

As for buying the game... I will definitely buy the game. We've been giving
more input to the devs since Generals to tell them how to improve future
games for the fans - so they will be as good, if not better. Plus I own
every C&C game to date, including Sole Survivor and the console versions of
the games, so will continue buying them. I have so much C&C stuff its
unbelievable lol. Isn't having contacts fun :)
