Over the months people have always been going on about econ, micro, spam and all sorts.
But i tell you cnc3 is nothing compared to what Act of War was!
It had great lethality with units, awesome econ management and was great for micro.
2 rocket men could 1shot a tank if they where set in ambush in trees, tanks would also 1shot men if they where out in the open so you always had to look after your units, unlike what this game is spam your units and then steamroll, it just sucks!
Even the early game harassment was better, you had builders and you always had to protect them, and the air units where realistic over all it had much better game play than this.

So if any1 has act of war and up for some games sometime let me know i will get it installed and have some fun with you!
If you never played the game i recommend buying it and trying it out, it beats this game by miles imo.

i just wonder why a godly game such as AOW didnt become famous

its gameplay is 1000x better that CNC3 \. and the stealth tanks here rules!!!! (akula)

i cant wait for the next gen aow (its graphics is similar to the background war when selecting at engagement)

pls dont sell this game to EA

AOW's main problem was the lack of advertisement and the securerom CD bug that occured on the launch date. Overall the game still pwned though smile.gif.

Still the best game compared to the C&C series including generals, better than UaW and SC related to competetive mode.
