RA2 is quite possibly my favorite RTS of all time. I'm speaking of the online play, I don't recall spending much time in single player, because to me the whole point to this type of game is human-on-human tactics. RA2 was great because given a reasonable level of skill, there was always a number of tactical possibilities beyond just the speed of building up enough forces and rushing your opponent. The game play can be pretty amazing against a worthy opponent. I've had it sitting in my list of Origin games for a long time. The built-in multiplayer is no longer operational, there are third party solutions I have not investigated. Maybe I will. Bet I get my ass handed to me the first few rounds.. lol. I'm no doubt rusty, not having played in probably 14 years, but I bet 2-3 hours of practice would turn things around once I remembered some of my old tricks. Once upon a time I was crazy good at that game ;)
