      I am rather jealous. Was a big fan of C&C Tiberian Dawn and have been drooling over the C&C Generals screenshots. My favourite was the Mammoth tanks. Used to pump them out then go for a Sunday ramble over to the enemies base. Ahh, they rocked. The Overlords similar or even better?

      How come you're not playing the game? Too much work or isn't it out there yet? and YES, the overlord tanks are much, much better than the mammoths:cool: Notorious SMC

          Absoutely love this game:cool: And while the overlords are awesome, a sneaky GLA tunnel near the enemy base combined with a handful of scuds, makes for some exciting fun;) - It's too easy to build "superweapons" now. My brother seems to enjoy building 8 nuke silos and launching them all at once:eek: There should be an option to turn it off like in RA2. Superweapons ruin strategy:(
