ok i am what you would consider a vet at this game. i have played it since it first came out and here i am december 2006 and im still hooked. this is one of the first games i would recomend to anyone who has a PC and looking for a game to keep them entertained for hours. it is nothing like having some battle ships bombing the crap out of some no name country and sending in some stealth bombers on routing missions then dropping a few nukes on the capital. wow......now this is action. i bought rise of ledgends only to be let down and i unistalled it sold it and went right back to rise of nations and i will never sell this game. this and BATTLEFIELD 2 for PC rocks.
