nice one 8)

lappable, but I am talking about the DOS version, I got that as soon as it came out. shockingly good, it was a hot summer in England 1996 that I played it solidly,ah the good old days! The "infantry reporting" and "affirmative" united with the tunes like "just do it". Great stuff.

how many of you played c&c Tiberian Dawn when it had just come out?

Yes but the US is powerful on a 2GW and 3GW protocol not in 4GW. Al Qaeda fights in 4GW war and no amount of military might and intelligence can work if operated through 2GW/3GW principles. I suggest William S Lind to be a good read on this topic. As well as G Friedmans; "America's secret War: Inside the hidden worldwide struggle between america and its enemies" Anyway the whole point of 4GW is to undermine the enemies strength through asymmetry and exploit the enemies weaknesses, so as you say "hiding instead of fighting" is the whole point of his operational nature they dont want to deploy in view of the US forces because that would allow the US to destroy them through the more conventional 2GW & 3GW tactics. Thus playing straight into the enemies strength of as you say "military might".

People do not fall for the Marxist propaganda and totalitarian thought-control they used too, whether it be because of the information revolution, solidarity i.e. Poland or a general individualism that has spread through Eastern Europe after the fall of the Eastern Bloc. I dont care. What your are saying is to undo Glasnost and perestroika and allow the Soviet Union to return. the Soviets collapsed because of economics, if they rise now they will economically suffocated if they pose a threat.You are more likely to see a nationalist Socialist movement than a communist one. Anyway if the Soviets found Bin Laden it could be put down to something like: the experience in fighting the mujahideen 1979-1989 Afghan war that benefited them whereas the West were disadvantaged being the superpower they are inclined to be militarily conservative. Hence their adoption of 2GW tactics in trying to capture Bin Laden in Tora Bora. Which led to them failing to capture him. As for Vladimir Putin his major task is to to build new institutions in a new global environment. Communism resurrection is a contradiction to this. He has to carry on from the Yeltsin administration whos strategy was for rapid integration of Russia with the West. Anyway its a fact in Russia the elites are miles more hostile toward the U.S. than the masses.

do me a favour; Don't make a ninja robot mod.

oh and I just noticed World Rebellion (a new mod) based on SOVIET units - load of crap, yet ANOTHER game on "red alert" unit types, we already have red alert, red alert 2 and now this! Ive got Soviets coming out of my ears. Get with it we live in an age of Fourth generation warfare but that mod quote " Russia had transformed back into the Soviet Empire" has taken us back to the Cold War. What is this? is the c&c community full of lefties? BRING BACK NOD AND GDI with realism and focus on the theme of organised selfsustainable terrorism, NOT nation state war, we live in a time when state monopoly on war is ending!!!!!!!!! Im gona put c&c Gold on and play all the campaigns again until the C&C community sorts itself out.

This is my first time on here, I have registered because I really want to ask why has noone made a new c&c game based on the original c&c story line??!!!!!!!!!!!!!? I hear they are making c&c 3 based on the red alert story?!?! what about the original?!!! urban grey NOD troops agains the desert camo GDI was great and very realistsic. That was a good game then red alert was ok but boring, then tiberium Sun = ok then red alert 2 like a babies cartoon game. I mean what the hell is going on?!?!? The c&c series is now very poor(unrealistic and cartoony) i mean look at generals they are all pretty colours and the us rangers run around in multicolored uniforms with their rifles over there shoulder- I mean COME ONE! I have seen the mod for C&C generals but I just want to know am I the only one whos laps up the old C&C?
