Yep, some of us have been blowing up huge arsenals of weaponry in Command and Conquer. Not much to post and I don't think we should encourage too much as some games have lasted over THREE HOURS but hey it makes a change.
Map packs currently being played are ....
Generals
Generals Zero Hour
Shockwave mod - Zero Hour
Rise of the Reds BETA - Zero Hour.
Game costs less than a tenner..... |

don't worry, it's a level playing field, nobody's guaranteed a win when there's more than 2 people playing.
I guess it depends on who attacks who first. If I happen to start off beside dan, we usually end up scrapping after the first few minutes, while we're kept occupied, steve could be amassing a huge army of strange looking tanks that can totally devastate your base defenses within seconds and leave a gaping hole through which he would send 30 or 40 'copters that would finish you off within 2 minutes.
in another scenario it would be Dan with his army of stealthed copters, mad with his collection of devasting infantry units or sending armies behind your base with tunnel networks, or maybe it could be me with my nukes, carpet bombs and earthquakes 
in any case, the more the merrier

 Don't forget, you can ask 'MAD site admin' about playing online through the VPN along with sosteve, dan the man, SWAT, MAD and of course, me the WEAK LINK
Oh, that's if you don't have a life and can suffer 3 hours without a pea.
CU there.

how do i find the game your playing? is it similar to Grid where i go on private server or is there a buddy system
i'm going to buy generals today (lost my old box for the activation code  and i'm not playing it on my old PC)
i haven't played for at least a year so expect BIG mistakes 
one of my mates is well into C+C so i may get him to join a few games too |
