the CnC games are still good, but the interface is very outdated and clunky 
thats the main reason why noone plays these games and even newer games fail. is that they come with poor interface 
  
Starcraft series are succesful cuz it has good interface, unit orders/commands 
  
there should be an option to play the game with more starcraft style interface over the CnC panel and even hide it...
