Just thought i'd add my own suggestion to improve C&C2 What P's me off when attacking using a group of tanks or whatever is that they get all strung out in a line and stop or start fartin around in general. What i'd like to see is that if you line up 4 tanks and tell them to attack something straight ahead, they kept there formation. This would be cool if you had a row of tanks followed by rocket tanks E.g. heavy armour is protescting weeker armour at back. Also the faster units not to fang round the outside and overtaake the slower units. Another option might be the tactical retreat where units retreat while still being able to target specific units which are chasing your units. Then again who retreats in C&C all missions are suicide missions :) Also somethin for a future game would be a cross between C&C and Civilisation. Where you produce units from a city or many cities and the battle is done C&C style without the building facilities. Therefore instead of 1 icon killing another icon as in CIV you have a proper battle Eg group ten megatanks and 10 whatevers with airsupport against a enemy group. Therefore as you progress in the game you still make use of your past units that have been produced and the teritorrity gained. Thats somethin that always bugged me in Dune2 and C&C, you've taken control of everythng on the map and your bosses give you shit to try and kill the badguy in the end when you have the whole planets resources in your hands. Of course as the game progress you also get new technology etc. So basically instead of having some dumb map which means squat between missions your in a permanent game to the death :). Hammer
