FFS is every CURRENT commerical Game PC company anti LAN coop ?
Just read this :
http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/
" Red Alert 3 will support LAN play as our previous RTS Games have such
as C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath,
BUT , you cannot play co- operative
campaign over LAN.
Co-op with a friend is only supported through online
play. "
Looks like another game I wont be supporting by buying the Intial retail full price
NO LAN coop
DRM infested
Two strikes against RA3

Its interesting how Blizzard have now changed there tune.
StarCraft: Ghost was annouced in 2006 and was going to be console only
and a FPS instead of RTS (bad idea any FPS on the console)

Now they bring back a old classic , redone with recent graphics and new tcp support
It will be interesting how Starcraft 2 plans out , what specs you need
if they add co-op to the game and release a free standalone dedicated server
for isps and lanpartys to how a low ping server .
It would be nice to see a Linux edition of Starcraft 2 aswell
It will no doubt be a popular lan game and online with its clan matching support
Im sure that lanpartys will probly start playing Starcraft 1 and broadwars again
