I still play RA2 with my friends at times. I've overhauled the entire skirmish AI to put up more of a challenge too. Personal favorite faction to play is Korea, nothing like nuking the enemy off the map with air blob.
It's so nice to hear people are still playing it together after all these years to be honest. I am always surprised when I boot it up and CnC net reports hundreds of people online.
Dawn of War 1, what a Marvellous treasure of a game. Countless hours played testing out various crazy build orders with every faction. Loved how the focus was on keeping your units alive in the field with a lil flavour of building. All the expansions were awesome apart from Soul Storm which was a questionable expansion with the addition of flyers which I believe they could have made them off map abilities, not hover in the damn sky 😆.
Legendary game and it's 20 years old would you believe it!
Stop reminding me how old I am!
DoW was so fantastic, one day I hope we get a good DoW 4...
this and coh1 are my favourite ever rts games, i have fond memories of playing this and cnc generals with my dad. although newer titles are definitely better like kanes wrath, this is my favourite cnc game no doubt! the art design, voice acting and music all have a special place in my heart.
my favourite nation is britain of course!! those snipers rip infantry apart!
Haha, I mean with a name like crumpet commandos you best like Britain the most :P
@@Bandanner well.. those frog grand cannons were pretty cool 😎
@@crumpetcommandos779 I noticed in the CnCNet launcher one of the game options was to ban France & Yuri I guess they are both too powerful haha
RA2 and emperor: battle for dune were my first games ever. I was more impressed with the emperor as a child, since it was a 3D game. But RA2 has meme units, this crazy vibe and great music
You know I never played Emperor Battle for dune, but heard good things.
Definitely red alert 2. It was my first strategy game and the one that introduced me to this game genre
Proof the psychic dominator works! Yuri thanks you for your service. ;)
Did you have a favourite faction/nation?
@@Bandanner all 3 factions are good in some way or another for me. It's really hard to choose one favourite 😅
@@smallwonder843 In complete fairness I would struggle too... I... I mean... Yuri obviously is my favourite
@@Bandanner yeah yuri is quite op and has a great art style. But apocalypse tank wave, or kirow carpet bombing is fun too😅 And allied hi tech stuff is as much fun 😁
@@smallwonder843 if I truly had to pick a favourite unit it would be probably the apocalypse tank. Twin cannon tanks are just good in all C&C games.
"It was no about just spamming one unit."
9 Prism tanks say "What?"
Haha only 9? Thats not spamming :P
Command & Conquer: Rivals
Oh Razzle Dazzle.... I can't even give a proper response to that, I will let the other C&C fans respond :P
@@Bandanner At least he didn't say Tiberian Twilight, eh?
@@HawkeyeTM HA! That's true enough, at least rivals knows its a terrible mobile game :P
I can't agree with you on RA2 being the best game. There is a charm to the underlying story and setting of Tiberian Dawn no other game ever came close to for me. I can only see Generals ever trying to replicate it in an early 2000s war-on-terror setting, but unfortunately it takes itself too serious and falls too short on the scifi mystery side. In other words, there would need to be aliens and a religious undertone (like the Cain story) in it, such that for me it could come close. Otherwise, I agree with you on RA2 having the best gameplay. Tiberian Sun scores the highest for me in terms of atmosphere and Tiberium Wars is a good mishmash of RA2 and TD elements, though overall for me it neither supasses RA2 and TD in story nor gameplay.
So what you are saying is deep down RA2 is the best overall ;)
@@Bandanner Well, considering the balancing issues C&C Remastered multiplayer has, certainly Red Alert 2 is in comparison the more enjoyable game. ;-)
@@MrCalhoun556 Yuri is pleased.
@@Bandanner :D
Generals
Fun game, what was your favourite faction? And did you play any mods for it?
@@Bandanner It"s hard for me to choose a favourite faction as all three were so unique that I enjoyed all of them. I haven't tried modding the game.
I was the same I liked playing all three :)
Broken Arrow
Haha that is most certainly not a C&C style game!
@@Bandanner Then hmmm age of empires 2 :)
@@t-34s48 that in fairness is a quality game. But still not a C&C! Try again ;)
@@Bandanner he wanted to say starcraft 2
@@sd_league I mean thats a lot closer to a C&C game, I mean its totally sub par compared to any C&C of course.
