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.

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. I still could not understand why YR had such a frikkin long loading time, though.

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.

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.
