paul_of_arrakis Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Loads of my freinds say that red alert 2 is way more addictive than emporer. I dont think this is so and i hope that you think this aswell. What do u have to say about this unbelievebly outragous remark!Tell him wat u think he is, going round saying things as stupid as this ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I have never played RA2 but from what I see Emp is way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I stopped playing the RA series very soon. I'm still playing DII and D2k, and TS and Emperor. RA2 is the least addictive game I've played out of the whole RTS group except RA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acriku Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I played EBFD and also RA2, and I hafta say that the environment, the units and of course the maps make RA2 more addictive. Of course if you didn't have to buy a 1000$ system to play EBFD well, it would be more addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 ra2 is more cartoony and u can relate to it more as its set on earthbut e:bfd is by far the better game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aribites Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I am one of paul_of_arrakis, and we have this arguement tons. RA2 is way more addictive!!!!!!! Emperor has better graphics, but u must admit, sometimes the gameplay can just be really crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Well, go fight that point in the nonsense topic....RA2 isn't addictive at all, from only seeing someone playing it got bored. And when I played it by myself: Well I must admit the missions in RA2 are more complex, (b.e. cities), but the units are boring, and build some tanks and you destroy the enemy with no problem...Emperor is way better, No unreal graphics, Ra2 graphics are worse then TS (TS is good!) And you have so many variations of attacks in Emperor, and you have sandworms :), and for the first time the infantery plays a real role in the game. Each unit needs (an)other unit(s) as escort. You have 3 houses. 5 subhouses. And especially: it's DUNE!!! ;D 8) ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aribites Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 So fine, the graphics are cartoony, but the storyline is easy to relate to, and malleable (ie; it's VERY easily changed) allowing new MODs and ideas to be inserted without causing the game to crash (unlike emperor). If you think about it, RA2 has tons more units!!!!!! There are more levels and modes of play! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 The only reason Emperor isn't easy to edit is because there aren't many people who work on editors for it. If someone found out the xbf format you could do some great things with Emperor.How can RA2, which only has 2 sides, have more units then Emperor which has 3 sides and 5 subhouses?Red Alert is a simple game for simple minds. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aribites Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 RA2 has 3 sides, if u include Yuris revenge as well. Anyway, each sub house only gives you 2 extra units, while the normal houses (Atreides, etc), only have about 14, so they can have a max of 16 on each side, sort of.Reply 2 that!!!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aribites Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 It isn't just how long you play the game on the net that matters, it's the strategy that you use to win the battle. You could be on for ages just sending waves of tanks and infantry, without getting anywhere!!!!! On RA2 you have to use strategy or you will be ANNIHALATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
