>tried to play C&C campaign for the first time

How did this game get so popular? The enemy AI is allowed to build new buildings and buy new tanks and I somehow can't? I can only make shitty infantry that I have to personally micro-manage so they don't get insta-SQUASHED by enemy tanks and if my tiberium harvestor is destroyed I can't harvest any more tiberium???

What a shitload of fuck all that is.
