It wasn't that bad, IMO. Every general had pointed strengths and weaknesses against other generals, but what would you expect when they focus on certain things?

I mean, I don't expect a toxin general to be any good against an air general, myself.

Some, on the other hand, admittedly were really hard to kill off...like the superweapon general...

Anyway I only played it 2 player with my brother, so it was a lot of fun :) Hell, every time he comes home. We still love playing it over anything else.

Does the C&C First Decade pack allow you to play classics like Red Alert 1 and Red Alert 2 over TCP/IP instead of IPX lan?

I want Renegade 2. :(

There's an odd amout of hate on the shack for it, but that game had awesomely fun Multi, and quite an enjoyable single player mode as well, IMO. And characters that actually had some chemistry during the cutscenes.
