I know that this is the game viewed as the pinnacle of the series but I cannot see how this game is preffered to any others in the series. To me it is just a less-fun version of the original Command and Conquer with the noteworthy additions of multiplayer and a single player skirmish mode although the latter is mostly useless and broken as the AI eventually gives up and hordes an army in their base. The missions are less fun, the units are drab and I just dont get it. However, if there weren't such better offerings in the series id probably have had enjoyed it.
