For one, I think that the Tanya version in RA2 in a mere shadow of the one in early RA series, yes she can swim, but she doesn't have that bad ass sound and look on her. Instead I would say Flint Westwood comes would make for a verry good version of Tanya, but then again he is a man.
Secondly I almost cry everytime I have to load the game cuz there is this 'nice' loading screen to look at wich only makes me more impatient and seems to take forever(at least they could have implemented a progres bar), whereas in TS there was this nice looking looding screen that really didn't make u think that the game was loading at all. kinda like Generals installer vs. RA and TS. I could go on like this but instead I would like to hear what u guys think, comon trow it all out.

I freakin hate the load time on Yuri's Revenge! How can such a simple game have a three-minute load time?! My copy of Generals boots faster! Some programmers need to be hanged.

Also, it's hung.

Phase 9 (Joseph Collins,) I had that exact problem with YR until I downloaded the update. Then it loaded at the same speed as RA2 does... at least for me.

Eh, well. Joseph would emphasize points in his text with bold/italics/underline etc. very often. I've just noticed something similar with this guy, and nobody else on these forums has ever seemed to display that behavior. *shrug*

Phase9, you have 2 cd-rom drives. Put a disk in the 2nd cd-rom drive (doesn't matter which) and your loading problem will be solved. It took me ages to find that out Wink.

RA2/Yuri's Revenge ran better on my old computer than it does on this one. Sometimes I think it isn't programmed for fast processors.

Dont Get It

All right, this is getting annoying. Why am I constantly referred to as "Dr. Lithius," or "Jeff Collins?" Who are they, what's their significance, and why do you think I'm them?

...oh and that was the only post I bolded severely. You would too, if you had the fastest PC on your block with a 3-minute load time on a 2-D RTS game.

PS: Drastic, that is the creepiest avatar I have ever seen. What's it from?

Mine is a Dell Pentium 4, 2.79 Ghz, 512mb ram, soon to be 1gig ram.

PS: I can play Renegade on highest graphics settings with only occasional, slightly annoying lag.

And Goztow, I don't fully understand. Do you mean place a random disc in my burner-drive and run Y.R.?

I HATE the Generals Menu. Like we want to wait for that to load every damn time.

Generals is completely un-playable unless you install project raptor in my opinion.

I also hate how they stole the renegade engine for it, thats bullshit.

Thanks. I'll try out your server today, if I have time. When I first read about the specs, it seemed more "pure" than the other servers, anyway (no modifications, only limited command usage).

Oblivion165

I HATE the Generals Menu. Like we want to wait for that to load every... time.


My computer loads the menu in less than five seconds, de-lags in an additional five. Twisted Evil I still could not understand why YR had such a frikkin long loading time, though.


Demolition Man

I mainly hate the lack of the battle field you can see.


I have a demo for a game called (I think), Empire: Dawn of the Modern World. It allows you to zoom in on the map by rolling the mouse wheel (the graphical detail of the units is only slightly less than that of Generals), and if you continue to roll the wheel, the camera shifts downwards to a more 1st person perspective to see your units up close. I think the game also lets you rotate the camera as with Generals.

EDIT: Close-up of siege consisting of 50 Big Berthas + ship-based artillery barrage > ...no ships in Generals multiplayer modes.

Only thing I hate is how slow Generals runs on my computer. I had the demo and I could only get it to go at a reasonable rate if I turned everything down to the lowest settings.

I hate that:
- Tiberian sun was way too slow on default speed
- In Tiberian Sun, enemy AI units did more damage than your units
- In Generals, the ABSOLUTE lack of story
- In Generals, the unbalances of the three sides

I am not talking about zooming IN but zooming OUT. In 3d rts games you build like 4 buildings and the screen is full. I want to see a big part from my base like in 2d rts games.

Oh that? I increased the resolution to the maximum setting and was able to see a good deal of the base. Might slow down normal computers, though.

...only on Hard difficulty. That's kinda the point of Hard difficulty: it's, wait for it, harder.
