Oh man Grenadiers are SO FUCKING BROKEN. They should be like, a museum piece. From before the invention of "balance".

I mean, it's fine that they show up again in CnC3 because they're vulnerable to air units and easy enough to run over. But TibDawn doesn't really USE air units, and in the NOD campaign it seems like half the time you don't even have a base.

Too bad there aren't any internet servers for any of these games, cause I'd totally throw down with some of you in a game.

There's always Hamachi.

Or the newer games, which are still fun even though people hate them.

(Is my fanboyishness obvious enough?)

I loved Red Alert 3, and CnC 3 was passable. Generals was a decent RTS, if you don't lump it into the same category as the rest of the games.

Also, I have no clue hoe Hamachiworks.

I love RA3, but I might defend it a little overzealously sometimes having spent over a year of my life working on a mod for it with still no end in sight.

Hamachi is a program that creates a little online room where anyone who joins counts as being connected over LAN, regardless of their actual location. It basically means you can go online with friends without actually going online.

Hamachi 2 sucks, though. Hamachi 1, before these new people bought it, was so much smoother.

Man...I just got Red Alert working...dude, the memories.

The memories.

Me and my friends spent an entire summer vacation in one of their basements, with 2 Playstations set-up, and played RA against each for hours on end. I forgot how much nostalgia that I have attached to that game.

Tiberium Dawn...meh. Not so much.

But Red Alert...man...I have got to play this again.

Thanks a bunch for linking this, I too booted up Red Alert to give it a play. I'm suprised how well it's aged.

But yes, I too would also be up to playing this on the Internet (Red Alert, that is).

ha ha ha oh my God
There was some kind of mod a friend and I had for Red Alert that made hover cruisers with tesla coils, hover artillery, and all kinds of ridiculousness like that. The sad part is that it was so ridiculous for each faction that it somehow was still kind of balanced.

HOVER CRUISERS
what the shit

Also I like that you can still edit the ini to make things different if you want for each faction or everyone. I hate the resource gathering speed in RA sometimes and usually up that.

So the day after I hit level 20 NOD, and am ready to test what I cannot help but think of as the actual game, this happens.
