I can't see any reason for anyone to play CnCNet. The old C&C Gold for example is very limited in map size and type. There is no reason to play CnCNet anymore. You can simply use the OpenRA engine and make a mod which has the exact same unit values as the original C&C/RA. Then you will have the exact same game you have, but better. There are many advantages to OpenRA. A simple feature is "attack-move". Another good feature is command queuing. The game also has higher resolution and a better interface generally. It also has FOG OF WAR (toggleable), a truly wonderful modern RTS invention. The map editor is also excellent, and allows for very large maps. It is also relatively rich in scriptability and can be used to make custom games within map files. The interface in general is just much smoother and more modern, and exactly what you'd expect from an RTS, instead of a clunky old design from 1995. Most of the work has already been done for creating a "classic mod" that will have all the same unit values as the original. The gameplay will naturally be slightly different since you are using a modern interface and can use things like attack-move, but that's not a bad thing.
