I think that the AI in both is aabout equivelent.  In WC2, they are 
smart, about atacking back, and running away from danger.  In C&C they  
are smart about moving around object, but Dome as shit about  being 
under atack, and  getting to the place where you want to.  I.E. tell a 
steath tank to infaltrate a ase, and as sure as the sun shines it will 
start to fire at the enemy beofre you can see their whole base.  I.E. 
(II) they like to stop, and sit their loging like dumb asses while under 
fire, and they don't like to figh back. ( mabey they are actively 
protesting this war?)

In WC2 Theyre so damn slow, about mocing around things.  These gus don't 
seem to realize distance.  if you can go a round one farm to get to 
where your going, you don't need to walk around your entire base to get 
any where.
