Before any of you ask me to join the Generals division of the SDN clan, the copy I got.....is the one that can't do multiplayer (hint hint).
Anyway, I think it's pretty awesome. I'm on mission 5 of the USA campaign and I'm getting owned by the SCUD storms Though I'm gonna try a different approach the next time I play.
One question though: is the single-player campaign worth playing through or should I just jump to skirmish games?
Saying the campaign blows ass is like saying shit smells bad. It doesn't do justice to just how poor the campaign is.
If I were you Shinova, I'd play the campaign simply as practice, then go to multiplayer/skirmish when you're ready. There is no plot at all to the campaign which is just...poor.
Plato's Beard. Dulling Occam's razor since...um...a long time ago.
I played it for the first time the other day, in multiplayer, I tried to apply the old RA1 principle of lots of tanks with little else. I got owned in half an hour. Though I held my own for a little while.

Bah. USA campaign is easy even on brutal difficulty.
What you need to do is pound the enemy base in the first stage of the mission as soon as possible, but leave something alive!. I captured all but one building and sucked the available resources dry.
Then I captured the remaining building and prepared for attack. I used Pathfinders to silence the Stinger Sites (flashbanged Rangers can do it, too - in Hummers no less). Watch for minefields with Predator-upgraded vehicles. Comanches can wreak havoc as long as you silence the enemy air-defenses.
Though I'm gonna try a different approach the next time I play.
