This game is phenominal to say the least.  It is very fun and was the first RTS game i've ever played once a friend introduced me to it.  It is so much fun to play and very addicting.  The only reason I sold it is because not many people play online, and the ones that do will take you out in a heartbeat and the single player missions go by pretty fast.  This game would be incredibly fun to play at a LAN Party but I never went to one yet.
