General Leang

What units would you recommend over it then? For that matter, what are good counters to it?

That is what I am saying. Say we had a fifty million dollar budget and forty million was for the GDI Commander to be John Cena or Toby McGuire or Darth Vader...wait, they already did that last one, and there would be no money or room on the disc for CGI cinematics, or indeed for the game itself. Zero Hour's final mission intro for USA was better than anything in recent games, how about a bit more thought in making good CGI and less on hiring actors\pro wrestlers\strippers to promote the game?

Think he would get a date with Reiko Nagase? You know, it is sad sad commentary when we have a seven year old boy who is a better driver than most adults on the road.

The **** is with the character redesigns? Changing Baghdad to Twin Swords, sure, okay, but this is taking things a little far.

I just love listening to Tanya, she would be my fave unit, followed closely by Prism Tanks. For my money their range and damage make them the most effective unit in the game.

I have yet to obtain Uprising, but I really like the Rocket Angels. A bit too expensive for their effectiveness, but without lots of anti air they are great fun to use.

My favourite unit of all the games? I would probably have to choose the Emperor Tank from Zero Hour. Self healing, built like a bank vault, can kill just about anything in two shots, and gattling cannons for infantry. The biggest threat to it, about the only threat to it, is Jarman Kell sniping the driver, and that is easily countered with Red Guards. If you want an all powerful unbalenced unit this is the one.

Hopefully EA will be able to resist hiring Ian McKellen, Hayden Christianson and Jo Guest in favor of cut scenes that are actually worth watching. The fact that the Ion Cannon CGI from the first game is more entertaining than Tanya mincing about in Red Alert speaks for itself.

Snapped it up, love it. Complete different take on anything in Command & Conquer. But HARD. I'm playing around with the skirmish mode and am seeing how I go with Little Birds, two each armed with cannons, rockets and missiles. I cannot wait until I get up the rank to use the MLRS and bombers.

From memory, the Playstation 2 and XBOX games did away with the Sarah storyline. For the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360, Lambert tells Sam after the first mission, which causes him to do things that would have him either expand his life or simply try and end it. Heck, the precious item for the training missions is a photo of Sarah. Are they gonna pull a Jill Valentine here? Tell me they are not going to do a Jill Valentine here.

That looks great.

Galbadia Hotel has links to hundreds and hundreds of game soundtracks, though I have no idea of the legality of it. And http://www.vgmusic.com is an archive of most game music in midi format.

Wait, watching the trailer does this mean Sarah is alive? Was her death faked to get Sam to go undercover? What about all the stuff we first saw, will that still be in the game? Will 24 still be an influence?

I might get it but I need a computer upgrade first. And an upgrade so I can play around with mods and skins for Resident Evil 4 is a priority. Maybe when they make some groovy Sims (anyone for a Tigeress Leiong Leang?) then I would give it serious thought.

Command & Conquers in it's various forms. Spent a few days stomping five hard Yuri armies on the Bay of Pigs map (I find Rocketeers trained to elite and Prism Towers and Patriots work well for defending, and taking out the airfields first thing before training up 30 Prism tanks to elite for each base) and am currently seeing what new Zero Hour mods might be worth a try.
