    What is it with reviews being posted up without scores which always seem to be added a little later?

    It's all a conspiracy to gradually remove review scores from bit-tech. That or maybe we just pressed the wrong button, we'll sort it out shortly.

    The time I spent playing this was consumed with wishing that I could go into tactical overhead mode, and then wishing that actually it played like Xcom Enemy Unknown.

    So, I got the arse with it and now I AM playing Xcom EU on classic. :D

    You should have removed review scores after the silly review of Modern Warfare 2, rating it higher than Shattered Horizon.

    To be fair, C&C: Renegade was probably one of the best multiplayer games of the 2000's. Up to 64 player, foot, land and vehicle based combat. Destructable structures with consequences. Its a crying shame that the majority of sites lampooned it due to the poor SP experience when the MP was solid gold and way ahead of its time.
