I always likes maps with choke points and such ... something to fight cool battles over or with allot of bridges you had to protect and stuff. God i loved RA1 and 2

There are map tools for RA2 and YR. you can d/l them from the Official site. Or you can do a search for it. The program is called Final Alert 2. If you have the YR expansion, make sure you get the FA2:YR editor or there is a patch the updates the old one i think.

Red alert 2 and Generals are very different. Generals is... how can i describe it... more strategy, then who can build the most units first. The maps are not huge, but not small either. You cant disable Superweapons which is bs. They dont entirly ruin the game, but a scud storm from the GLA can do massive dammage. I perfer ... just units and no superweapons.

The new supply depot's (where you can get money) are the major spots on the map. Whoever controls them wins the game, and frankly its quite annoying when some GLA worker builds 3 stinger sites around a supply depot. The only quick way to counter-measure is from infantry shooting the soldiers inside. The USA is the best side imo. This is all based from the Fileplanet beta, which was really buggy. I'm hoping the full game is alot better, and i've heard it is. Can't wait

If you have any questions about multiplayer or the units I can try and answer.

total annilation was the best RTS ive ever played, i recently got empire earth now its good but u just need to be rpepared to spend more than 6 hours fighthing the AI on easy, my defensive style of capture reasources and fortfy inch by inch dont make it any faster either

preach on, bro ham. In fact, I may just be compelled to fire it back up and go for some really huge battles, since I've got a computer now that can kick old games asses in the performance department

It a great game, much like the first C&C. But I really miss the russians.

The muslims have anthrax, terrorists and crazy mobs. USA has the best units but they cost most.

The chinese have propaganda centers and a big big big tank that I guess will rock when supported by missile launchers.

The muslim scud storm covers a big area while the americans use a particle cannon that only takes out one building. The chinese have nuke missiles.

It's a very american view of the world but it's just a game.

k, i grabbed the game played it, its pretty nice, there is a map builder that comes with the game called Generals World Builder, the Chinook can repell the rangers that are inside too bad we cant disable SuperWeapons

Anyway im gonna keep playing it

Generals Wanted to do what we can already do with OFP.

well RA1 rocks with all the realistc units. it already has a cold war feeling like in OFP.

But RA2 has much better units. although it's too unrealistic sometimes, you still can use modern tactics in RA2.

i prefer the Americans with their usual tactics: special forces, airpower and combined land forces.

i get a SEAL team in a chopper and destroy the enemy's powerplants with them. the enemy's AA is out of order, so i can send out up to 8 squadrons of harriers and destroy their main building. next time destroy all their infrastructure they abandon the base and attack me with all they have. but they are no problem and will be wiped out by my dog patrols, MBTs, IFVs, Defence Buildings, and lots of deployed GIs.

playing the americans, i never waste much money on infantry because i get enough of them by paradrops. most of the time i have to put them into buildings and toilets because i have too much of them.

no AI enemy ever defeated me!

Man, I am gonna be careful near that tower downtown...it might be a Tesla Coil!!!

[-TU--33ker 0]

alright the tesla stuff wasn't realistic and i hardly ever used it. but i liked the planes, tanks, and ships (they were much better than the ones in RA2). it was like playing with USA and USSR in the 60ies.

Hear ye hear ye my fellow Total Annihilation fans! Do a search for the mod titled "World Domination!" It has TONS of realistic units, I.E. T-72's, T-80's, T-90's, Challanger II's, Leopard's, M1A2's, Bradleys, BMP-3's, and much much more! Including ships and submarines!

If for some reason a search doesnt come up with useful information, I'll search around and post a direct link myself.

I sure hope those F-16's in world domination don't have VTOL capabilities. But is it out already? Are they finished? (world domination)

[STS_SolidSnake 0]

Or try the Bomb truck, wich takes the appearance of enemy units, load it with chemical and high explosive, and BOOM

yes the campaigns are very short they should have been longer..
