*Sigh*. So many stubborn TS fans out there.
Dude, TS has soooo many cut out features that it makes the game odd, and the graphics arn't very realistic, and just not that good. RA2, specifically YR, has waaaaay more features and gameplay options, and better graphics. The only things I didn't really like about it, was that Yuri's team was kinda over powered. U could still take him out, easily if U know what your doing, but when going against him, your limited to only a few attacking optins options. He's really not that bad. The second thing, was how big the infantry where. But that problem's easily fixed, by using paintshop pro, or just downloading a mod file that shrinks them to reasonable size. _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
TS has the better story, about the same in the units aspect, worse graphics, and worse gameplay interface.
RA2 is the better engine, and thanks to ppl like Carnivean and Holy_Master, you can enjoy the good sides of TS in the better engine. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

RA2/YR is just better, in many ways-
1: Normals are vastly improved
2: Less Hard-coded crap
3: YR has a 3rd Side
4: Less of a movie, more of a game
5: MUCH, MUCH Better multiplayer
6: Better SWs.
7: AI that does not cheat as much.
8: Many, many many many many more features
9: Better GFX in general
10: Way better voice overs.
TS on the other hand-
1: Dull units imo
2: Balance Issues
3: Its Single player, you will probably spend more time watching cinematics then playing.
4: Dull Vos
5: Too much hard-coded stuff.
Good move StealthTank switching over to RA2. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

1: Normals are vastly improved - It's a newer engine, Duh.
2: Less Hard-coded crap - Not really, only with PDs patch.
3: YR has a 3rd Side - Fair enough.
4: Less of a movie, more of a game - Mindless you mean? campaigns with abscence of a decent story.
5: MUCH, MUCH Better multiplayer - If you like tank rushes, yea.
6: Better SWs. - Depends on viewpoint.
7: AI that does not cheat as much. - AI is equally crap in both.
8: Many, many many many many more features - Newer game required to get people to buy the game.
9: Better GFX in general - Depends on viewpoint, some prefer the TS style.
10: Way better voice overs. - They aren't that much better than TS to be honest.
TS on the other hand-
1: Dull units imo - not particularly.
2: Balance Issues - Prism Tanks? Kirovs? same goes for RA2
3: Its Single player, you will probably spend more time watching cinematics then playing. - Not noticed the MULTIPLAYER yet?
4: Dull Vos - No worse than RA2 as far as I'm concerned
5: Too much hard-coded stuff. - Being creative can get around a lot of issues, making for more inventive units in general. Last edited by Suiseiseki on Sat Sep 03, 2005 1:10 am; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT
In ra2 the sound system is cool too. It uses wave sounds, and if EA would make ra2 os it could be at super high quality and stereo. (BTW, ID software will make Q3, from 1999!, OS).
*edit: Crap, I didn`t pay atention: ID releases Q3's source code, well, EA sux. QUICK_EDIT

ID is cool.
EA keeps everything freakin locked up, and it is not actually legal to mod the game. They dont include anything to mod them.
ID is like, hey lets get a community started, and give everybody the ability to mod Doom 3.
@ Carnivean-
4: Less of a movie, more of a game - Mindless you mean? campaigns with abscence of a decent story.
-Yeah, so I got bored watching TS the movie.
5: MUCH, MUCH Better multiplayer - If you like tank rushes, yea. Yeah right, TS is just the same way but worse.
6: Better SWs. - Depends on viewpoint.
I am talking that they are kewl, and not 1 to 3 second without warning SWs.
7: AI that does not cheat as much. - AI is equally crap in both. Indeed, but the computer players cheat in TS alot.
9: Better GFX in general - Depends on viewpoint, some prefer the TS style. Some prefer the RA2 style
10: Way better voice overs. - They aren't that much better than TS to be honest.
At least the main unit VOs are different from Affirmitive and yessir. Rhino Tank has "we will bury them" and represents the Soviet overconfidence in the game
TS on the other hand-
1: Dull units imo - not particularly.
-Hey some are kewl, but I hate mechs.
2: Balance Issues - Prism Tanks? Kirovs? same goes for RA2
Prism Tank is merely cannon fodder to tanks.
Kirovs are cannon fodder to Aegis Cruisers
Disruptor? Multi Missile, which is much better than Ion Cannon.
3: Its Single player, you will probably spend more time watching cinematics then playing. - Not noticed the MULTIPLAYER yet? Multiplayer in TS, I hate.
5: Too much hard-coded stuff. - Being creative can get around a lot of issues, making for more inventive units in general.
-Got a point. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

well the way i see it is TS and RA2 are both differnt style games so what game you like depends of the person, TS is mainly for more CnC in deph story fans, who follow the story. ra2 is more of a fun game than a story. good game dont get me wrong. put them togther and you haveone hell of a game QUICK_EDIT
i hate the way in RA2 you can't toggle power on buildings, it pisses me off. plus the graphics are too cartoony. _________________ Singer-Songwriter Christie Isaac QUICK_EDIT
@ Christophski: Well our graphics wont be cartoony on ra2, also we are replacing terrain with TS terrain, it may sound wierd but we are doing this so that its like TS but with more options.
Although TS and red alert 2 run on the same engine thier options are slightly diffrent. Like in ra2 u cant toggle power but there is more things like more ini options. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
