Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3? i must be dreaming!

Naval units were restored to warcraft 3 in the expansion. Sorta anyway.

And ya, there were two camps during the olden RTS days. Warcraft 2 vs Command and Conquer. The commands were just different enough, and the gameplay also, that it broke into your typical 2 sided pissing contest. That is until Starcraft came out and demolished everything, and Tiberian Sun sucked.

Tiberian Sun was absolute gerbage!

I... I... kinda liked it omg =*(

I played both C&C and WC. Add what you said about mechanics and gameplay, and add the completely different themes and you have two great games that stand apart.

Best Line of Red Alert 2:

"RUBBER SHOES IN MOTION!" - Tesla Trooper

Best Line of Tiberian Sun:

"FOUR ON THE FLOOR!" - Mutant Hijacker

The original Red Alert was a masterpiece [ESPECIALLY WITH AFTERMATH], RA2 was a good game but the story was trash, they took it from a serious tone to a joke. Generals has had the best gamepaly of the series, but fell short by taking out the great story. EA shit all over the franchise when Westwood was bought. Since EA dissolved Westwood I can see this being a thrown together piece of shit. Shoulda just let Westwood finish that Renegade 2 they were working on. You were Tanya in RA1, it looked promising. EA threw it out when they broke up Westwood though... Might be some screens online somewhere.

I totally disagree. The RA2 story was infinitely more entertaining than the originals', plus they often integrated it into the on-screen game (i.e. when you're trying to capture the President and he berates you through your map screen). No C&C storyline has ever been Oscar material, but out of the combined series RA2's story is easily the best.

I liked the naval combat in Warcraft 2 a lot, and the maps like 1000 islands would make you think strategically about which islands to go on to build outposts and defense and which to avoid.

There's no way in hell ships in WC3 would be entertaining, strategic or interesting in any way. Blizzard knows this, and everyone that's unsuccessfully tried to make a naval mod has learned this. It just doesn't fit with the gameplay style.
