    Frigging awesome!

    Now if they could just hook up counterstrike and aftermath, all would be perfect.

    Oh No! Another game to get involved in! Hehehe.
    Who here has played it and is it a good one?
    What's the difficulty level on playing it?
    I'm not much for the games that have an extreme learning curve.
    To much time or high difficulty to learn = I don't play it much.

    Red Alert is brilliant. I've sunk weeks worth of hours into it through my lifetime. One of, if not my favorite RTS.

    Haven't played it in awhile though, so I hope it still holds up. I'm sure it does, but if you're looking for modern pizzaz and flashiness, you won't find it there.

    Without question worth the download though.

    It's quick and easy to learn, and the resource management won't kick you in the ass. Much strategy can be applied to game play, however.

    The original Red Alert was amazing. One of my favorite LAN games.

    As for 3, I'm playing the beta right now and I'm not too impressed, haven't given it enough time yet though.

    Thanks for the replies friends.
    I think I'll try it out when I get time.
    Prepping for tropical storms/ hurricanes this week.
