I really do love the C&C games (the RTS genre in general) and I think that they did a pretty good job in their third of the TW installments . It has enough of an older feel/ style to keep me happy but adds in some time saving features and options etc. The movies are as cheasy but cool as ever and the Campaigns are equally entertaining. The units are interesting (especially NOD and SCRIN) and the new race was a needed addition (albeit maybe not in this way exactly but close enough IMHOP). THe thing I am most dissapointed about is multiplayer. Loads of great new features ... SURE.... fun, fast, exciting.... I guess! I suppose my gripe is not restricted to C&C and maybe its just the strategy of the general public and not the pros ... but MAN IS THERE A LOT OF TANK SPAMMING in RTS now! It makes me thing back to SC when someone just pumps out the Hydras or something along those lines. I understand that people want to win and that tends to be the fastest, best, and easiest way ... and I am not faulting the players but more the developers. Don't get me wrong I SPAM 'em with the rest (I try other strategies now and then) but what is the purpose of adding 16 unique units if half the people out there use only 3 or 4! Again it could just be people carrying habits over from Generals (also lots of tank SPAM) or maybe its just me but I would like to be able to get a little creative with my battles (commandos, juggernauts, firehawks) rather than just build lots of tanks and maybe riflemen etc. then plow into their base repeat. Granted if the initial attack doesnt work I might get to build some cooler units .... but not often! ANyway .... now I am ranting ... It is a good game ... PLAY IT!
