RED ALERT 2 - or - EMPEROR:battle for dune?????


Recommended Posts

What Happen WW close your down too? Im glad they Linked Gobs site to the Emp page.

Yeah Im sure if you go into the Gaming Forum you can find more replys in there... beware this topic may go to.... but who knows.

I have never played RA or RA2 or anythgin except EmpBFD, CnC Renegade, did the Beta for Earth & Beyond, and when ever thedisk gets here I'll be testing Generals too. Emp is a great game. I'm sure if you like RA@ you'll like Emp. It also helps if your a Dune Fan ;D But go ahead bring the guys from the closed RA forums over here. Make a space inthe gaming forum and then go get EmpBFD and we'll see you on Arrakis. Oh and if your interested and get the game were trying to get an all community game day. theres a thread about it in the Emperor section. 'Hi all members' is name I think.

Emperor is cool, good units, balance, graphics

Red alert II was a rip-off, worthless, and bad graphics, and bad balance.

==> Emperor is better ofcourse

Couldn't Agree more, Although Ra2 is quite fun if Your bored with Emperor.

Until next post,

Never played Ra2. but chances are that Emper will be more liked on the emper message board. Has most people on here have stuck with it a long time even when theres cheaters on it. Then to ask if another game is better what do you think people are gonna say ::)

I'd say Ra2 is better. but like i said i never played it.

If you dont have Dark Reign 2 on your list, then I dont think youve played enough RTS games to make a top 7 lists.

It's easily in the top 5, the only drawback is that it wasnt made by Westwood (it was made by Pandemic) and thus nobody knew about it, also it was realeased the same day as Diablo 2 (bad marketing).

Well.. (Lets leave the ra2 grapix out of this heh.. :P) I think Ra2 can be quite fun because it has a fast engine, Although it gets very slow in late game with 6 players..

They need more Mechs!!! like with the Harkonin they have the devestater!!

Well If you have a good grapix card like A TNT/VooDoo Or a geforce, It looks pretty nice, The only strat game i know with such a good grapix display like emperor is C&c Generals.. But emperor is two years old. So i can't agree with you on that One.

Until next post,

Eric E.

hmmpf.. those guys that made up that list didn't know many games... most probably hardly knew emperor.. let alone other strategy games..

pfff. they should've let someone like me who knows about every game make such a list.. hah... if there's a game i don't know it must be a sport or race game.. but other than that...

RA2 is much better, Emperor had horrible graphics and RA2 had a much better plot and the to campaigns were really different unlike Emperor's campaign whcih ended up being the same for each race.

what computer are you using? a gfx card that doesnt support emperor? a switch-er-roo gfx? did you say that backwards, because you are wrong!

RA2 sucks compared to Emperor Battle for Dune.

1. Emperor has much better graphics.

2. Emperor has much better gameplay and more interesting units.

3. The plot behind Emperor Battle for Dune is better than RA2.

4. Those little gold shaft things in RA2 don't give you money fast enough. Emperor's spice fields are more than fine when it comes to regeneration of funds.

I got bored of RA2 quite quickly after I finished the campaigns. However, I can keep playing skirmish or the campaigns in Emperor Battle for Dune and never get tired of it! If I do get bored for a little while, I'll just install a mod and play that! :D :)
