LOL. The state of things to come. Developers releasing patches for games BEFORE the game itself is released.

C&C Generals patch 1.3 still has crappy netcode :(

It lags over a LAN with 6 ppl, but it is still very playable. Online it's just a joke though :(

Shame because it's a nice game too.

Actualy we had a pretty good game online with 4 players, hosted off an ADSL line and it was quite playable.
