I know EXACTLY what you mean.  I used to be an extreme doom II junky.  
After waiting for newer dooms and quake, hexen finally comes along.  I 
simply could not get enough of doom, but the ONLY time I ever play hexen 
is to show my friends what it's like.

u think C&C is better?  i have to look into this...i haven't really
played it.  i heard that the NOD forces are far superior to the GDI
forces....do you think this it true?  i'm sure you can't wait for the
add-on missions disk that is coming out for it and the follow up game
called Red Alert...that has sub-marines.

Well, that's true... NOD has better weapons than GDI.
NOD - Stealth tank, invisible
NOD - Flame tank, Kill 10 Soldiers in 2 shots, 100% accurate
NOD - Chemical Warrior
NOD - Obelisk of light, destroy everything, accuracy 100%.
      ^^ That thing is deadly like hell.
NOD - Flame warrior, Shoots flame killing 5 soldiers in 2 shots.
NOD - Cannon tower
NOD - Nuke missile
NOD - Recon bikes - Really fast for exploration

GDI - Grenader
GDI - Machine gun tower
GDI - Advanced Tower (Rockets)
GDI - Mamooth Tank (Cannon + Missile) + Regenerates health back to 50% if below
GDI - APC - Carries units
GDI - ION Cannon


NOD - Mostly good for offence.
GDI - Mostly good defence.

So you see... NOD is better equipped than GDI.
But, when I play modem, I allways take GDI and I win.
I like challenges. NOD is too easy. GDI is just right.
Well, soon they will come up with C&C-2:Tiberian Sun.
The best it will be SVGA with more different units.
Lots of fun thing to blow up too. 


(A = B);
(C = B); 
So (A = C)?

Life is good;
Doom is good; 
Is Doom life?

Well I have to disagree.. while the flame units are deadly.. they are
only really effective against soldiers.. and they are very vulnerable
against tanks/missles..  That obelisk is very vulnerable to soldiers..
1 obelisk vs 8-9 machine gunners and you wind up with 1-3 machine
gunners left. And, the GDI Orcas kick ass.. with a big enough squad
you can take out anything regardless of sam sites. 
	all n all there's a pretty good give and take.. but I'd never play NOD
:)

Exactly!

Even if id commit suicide by not including a shotgun (C'mon, Army of Darkness
had one in a medieval setting!), there *will* be a shotgun.qp as the *first*
add-on for Quake! (followed by doom3, I suspect)
