RA2 was superiorly better, Game play wise, for the most part. More than 3 factions, Awesome super weapons, Vehicle and infantry selection was sexy, too. My only complaint against RA2 was that the Single player was short (On the Soviet's disk, anyway.) I have a few complaints against TS, But I blame EA for one of them (TS crashes like a bitch)

It's just simply rock-paper-scissor balancing, Westwood changed the RTS world dramaticly with CNC95, and RA, as all the other RTS at the time (Warcraft 2, etc.) were all rock-paper-scissor, or...in the case of Warcraft 2, all the same units with difference graphics. So no, C&C 3 has it's good points, but there are more cons than pros.

I agree, I wish Westwood was still around, because if they were they probably have redone the net code for it by now just so we could still play it on-line. Maybe we would have also been able to get them to go back and redo how wall placement worked, so it would be more like RA2. If you set the tech level back 1 on ts it should turn off all the super weapons. Yuri's Revenge was slightly more fun, they added a few more units in and it allowed the allies to be even with the rest.

My second favorite is TS, which is kind of tied with C&C3.(Ren is first, however under the C&C title. It obviously isn't my favorite C&C RTS) And I simply dislike the RA series... towards the fact of the concept of it. However I would love to see them tie RA and TD together... like they SHOULD be...

Was EA finally able to brainwash you On second note: RA2 and YR are my favourite C&C games to date to say that C&C3 is better, is just dumb, just look at it when it was first released it was buggy as hell, and don't say "it's better now" because if a company releases a game it should be pretty perfect, other words not making around 10 patches for i. When I buy a game I expect it to be not buggy at all, sure a bug here or there is fine and if there is a need for a patch or 2 so be it but 10! that is just stupid. EDIT: forgot bout TS, TS was a fun game sure it was unbalanced but that is what made it so fun

C&C3 had no more bugs and colossal balance fuckups than does Renegade, Tib Sun or RA2. The difference is with C&C3, they were making patches to fix them IMMEDIATELY (I'm talking on the same day of release) and carried on doing so, and still do. So by your own argument, EA > Westwood.

I didn't play a whole lot online with any of the games though except Renegade. And as for Empire at war, I like that game quite a bit as well :/ . I like C&C3 but not Generals so much. One of the most annoying things to me about generals was how I would orders units to an area and they would get attacked by all kinds of enemies longer ranged than them and not fight back or avoid or anything :/ . It wasn't a terrible game but I certainly did not replay it as much as any of the others aside from TS.

You would think that with most of the earth infested by Tiberium, they would have advanced naval units (at least GDI FFS). Thanks EA, bunch of money-mongering losers.

But it was the Apocalypse tanks that kept me going. I always buy 5 Apocs and group them together...just five tanks and harrass. In like 20 minutes or so, all of them are elite pwnage tanks.

The naval units in red alert 1/2 owned, they had extreme long range and did alot of damage, they were untouchable unless you made planes or they were close enough to be shot by soldiers/tanks on land. You could say the juggernaught is the naval force replacment, the juggernaught can shoot anywhere on the map as long as cordinates are given by snipers, this means you can own the nemy base from your own base, make tons of defenses to protect 5-6 juggernaughts, send 5-6 snipers to hide around the enemy base and tell the juggs to fire.

After playing C&C3, I can safely say that it brought absolutely no improvement to your units. The guard command is still as useless as ever, units NEVER retreat, etc....

I said that they could have added option for it. I played a RTS game named Original War that had this option. It was not that useful, but since in that game, you could not buy any new infantry, plus, infantry did all the driving and fighting, so they kind of had to give you option to force them to pull back once their health got low. Or would not be nice to tell infantry to hide behind tanks, just like in real life? Or if they could at least attempt to dodge the tank shells, in order to take less damage, etc...
