Look, red alert is in Dune 2 style, so why shouldn't C&C2? You get loads
of video footage of tanks and stuff in the game, so unless you think
that we are suddenly going to get a real time rendered game, why the
hell should anybody think it will be any different? I don't know! It's
like saying that a pentium motherboard is actully the size of an
airfiled and has a large plane on it - because the advert said so! Geez!
