Why. I like it, except I lose a lot. I like longer games, not the quick rush and then its over. Seems to play great. I have a great ping, so it is smooth. What don't you like?

its a poor way of finding games, if any one is lagging the whole game suffers. that is very poor in my book. theres no reason for lag in that game anyway, it is by no means fast paced. i could understand later in the game when you have 500 units battling it out. but not at the begining when you have one building and one unit and it takes 5 min to build a barracks. thats absolutely ridiculous. the only way out is to surrender wich goes against your record. ordinarily i could care less about my stats in an online game but this is what is used when you let the system pair you up on a game.

set the minimum ping to 300 or 400 and you won't have that problem. As more people get faster connections, the game will play better. Frankly, I wish they would not allow dial ups to play online. It ditracks from the game too much. Yes lagy games suck, butthat is the players connections, not the game. You can set the criteria for good pings and everything plays great. Michael

I find the skirmishes much better.

with computers? no matter how good a computer is, they will still send single units into a barage of turrets. and they still attack buildings with only one unit in them. works pretty well to hold them back for a while. just stick one unit in a building and let them shoot it with rifles till it blows up. pretty lame. i guess theres always lan partys.
