I'm getting so fed up with online gaming at the moment! I play Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge online quite a lot now, and when I have a full decent game against someone, whether win or lose, I enjoy it.
However, the majority of these online gamers will not stay in it til the bitter end! It's so annoying!
They're virtually winning, nearly destroyed your base, but you just manage to pull through on the defensive. You repair and rebuild and manage to build a squad of Tanks and Rocketeers, and as soon as they see them coming, they quit!
What's the point in playing a game if you're not going to stick it out? Surely if they concentrated a bit more on their base defenses and not on the amount of tanks they have, they'd be able to defend themselves and counter-attack like I do.
But no! They're not prepared for a loss. They just play to build a few tanks and cause complete and utter annihilation. Gee, that's fun! Why play a game where you're gonna either win, or just quit? It's not very entertaining. Surely a loss would make you all the more ready for another attempt, and being beaten means you can learn from your mistakes and try again!
Bloody Americans! I shouldn't just blame them, it often happens on the European servers too. However, when playing the Europeans, they think they're gonna catch something because you don't know more than how to say your name in German or French! I find that not saying anything at all is going to get more games on European servers than even saying "hi" would.
Ah well, that's my ranting and raving for now on the matter of online gaming.

ok, shall we try again later then...say in an hour...we'll check back here to make sure we're both still online, and then we can play against each other.
Erm i just tried to get into the custom match section and it says the westwood library online support library is too old, i will have to reinstall the shared components, or so it says.
I'm just updating Yuri now (required for online play apparently)
Should be on there in around 4/5 minutes on the American server

Bloody hell!
I did a system restore to a few days ago cos something mucked up on my PC...
I'm installing Yuri's Revenge now (I've already got RA2 on) so hang on for around 10 minutes then I should be on there.

Edgy,
I've joined the clan and sent you an email as requested,
Can I join the match as an observer as I have to go to work at 4.30?
Cheers

I'll use my username as the password...
My username is similar to my Special Reserve username, you should spot it.
I connect to the American servers usually, so I'll see you there now in a sec....
(just enter my username as the password for the match....)

Ah I see. I've got a balance of both offensive and defensive techniques, so I'm not a turtle no :)
