Don't be silly. I've had virtually no problems with WC2 whatsoever,
it's AI is appalling. C&C's AI isn't brilliant, and it still does
silly things, but it has some nasty tricks up it's sleeve.

Well, you don't get too much time to notice the pretty graphics in the
heat of battle (but they are cute if you take a breather.

I like the Naval and Air units in WC2, but the units in C&C are just
as diverse, and more important they are different for each side, where
as WC2 has identical units with different names and graphics (give or
take a few spells). Both mission lines in C&C require different
tactics.

Possibly, I haven't played it yet, but C&C over a modem is pretty
awesome.

The biggest problem with WC2 is that you can't quickly control your
units, so the computer seems to be playing well against you. In fact
if it had C&C's keyboard controls (for grouping units in particular)
it would be a much better game.

The other major advantage C&C has is that there are more missions, and
you won't neccessarily get the same ones if you replay the game, this
means that it's replay value is higher. I played C&C through twice for
GDI, and once for NOD before getting bored. I'm half-way through the
Ork missions in WC2 (having done the human ones easily), and am
already bored of it.
