1.Introduction

Please note that this is my first attempt of a F.A.Q., so please excuse some
errors.I've
started with RA2 (I know it's kind of old) because it is my favorite game
and I want to
start with what I know best. I will continue with other games like CS or Max
Payne,
depending on how know I know these games and, sure, what games will appear.
So, Red Alert 2, in my opinion, is the best RTS game made in 2001.It's story
is based on the
Cold War between U.S.A. and USSR in the '50's.The story is a bit changed,
the conflict
appearing when Enstein invents Chronosphere.
In this F.A.Q., you will enconter ranks: 3-very
bad,4-bad,7-medium,9-good,10-excellent.
