Don't get me wrong, I like long ass RTS missions which takes an entire afternoon to get through, but I'm not fond of them when you need to save scum because of how wonky the game balance is.

Covert Operations is an add-on for Command & Conquer which features 15 new missions, new music tracks, and multiplayer maps. Unlike the original game, the missions of Covert Operations can be played at any time and in any order, and are not accompanied by mission briefing cut-scenes. It added two new units to the game, and the new missions are more difficult than those of the original. The add-on pack features the DOS version's soundtrack, which includes music that was absent from the Windows 95 (or Gold Edition) version. Covert Operations was originally needed to unlock secret missions, which were later enabled by a patch to the main game.

WARNING MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW:

WARNING MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW:
Worthy of at least some kind of review.. It's something to crow on about. Four caws from me, I particularly like the Crowmmado units in this game, as they can really just fly from point A to point B really fast (as fast as the crow flies)
The game needs some story to give it structure and without videos it leaves much up to the imagination as you play it. There's no Kain or Crowbrah Cawmmander type villain, which is an L.
