Who single player plays has thus to fight less, but in multiplayer it makes all the more noticeable. The last patch is back years and has failed to correct serious bugs. These bugs uses a Cheatertool from about to provide very unpleasant features. These include Maphack, Stealth Hack (You can see hidden units, such as special forces and camouflaged buildings). Next there is the Microbug (the construction of supply depots Independent money supply of the US you get after finishing an immediate delivery, so that the construction has only tasted held in 2500 even 500), Scudbug (GLA superweapon can be any succession fired often) and Netzwerkbugs allow Disconnects without appearing in the Stats or even Miss Match (For all players enters SyncError on and everyone gets a disconnect in the Stats).
This was only the tip of the iceberg. These bugs have meant that many cheaters ruin multiplayer games and the game is reduced considerably, if, for example in three consecutive games has opponents who Disconnecten because they can not lose. This fact has also meant that the active players have declined markedly. Of the many lobbies (1v1, 2v2, Germany, USA, etc.), is only one active practice.
The game now costs almost nothing, but you should not expect all too much, if you're looking for a multiplayer game. The only variation to the game to have fun is to look for some friends and play with them.
To have something positive to leave the graphics be praised (for that time) and the Sound. The Kampangne I found, however, not so interesting. The videos produced cheaply and with true RA and Tiberium series nothing in common. You are solely newscaster reports. This gives the whole a little realism, but that is also much better, see, eg, Act of War. The individual armies are relatively equal strength, which you have to admit that some generals against others have their merits. Many games are played online with rules that limit the few stark differences. I find, however, that the game is fun even without rules.
In summary it can be said that the game concept is good, the bad support by EA but much wrecking. Actually, would not a patch needed. It is very different to the other C & C games and has thus definitely appeal to those who find C & C otherwise not so good. Who has no problem with cheaters and likes to play in clan has certainly fun. For lone I'd advise against the purchase.
