I also loved red alert 2, and played it much more than starcraft. However, one possible reason is that starcraft had 3 factions. 3 very different factions. Yes

Yes, Allies and USSR had special units in RA2, but the differences were much more pronounced in SC. It made for very different possible gameplays and strategies.
Also, maybe building on top of the warcraft brand helped. WC2 was pretty amazing back then.
- fakedang 3y agoThat begets the question why Generals did not become such a hit multi-player game. AFAIK, the three factions in Generals (USA, China and terrorists) are quite different themselves in terms of play style. RA3 obviously tried to follow that pattern, and failed miserably.
