I played contra and all I can say is that mod just plain Sucks. At first it seemed alright besides a few points. I was just playing easy comps just to get the hang of the mod and new units. They attack more then they do in the normal game and they are alot more brutal. Then I faced up against the nuke general. After that I exited the game and just trashed the folder and reinstalled the game.
The nuke general is unreal compaired to the one on here. The nuke rocket troops can destroy anything. Three of them destroye my patroits and my barracks before they died(they shoot mininukes like the nuke cannons). The nuke cannons shoot like twice there range. They start off with nuke migs. They get the hammercannon and the hammercannon can shoot across the whole map(which it better not in this.) They get a double barrel nuke cannon. They get a assault nuke troopcrawler(starts with 4 nuke red guards and 4 nuke rocket troops. you can guess how much that pwns) and lastly they get RAD turrets which pretty much kills anything in one hit(think about three times the damage as shockwave laser turret.)
After seeing that. I don't need to see any other mods. I think I'll stick with shockwave.

Personally, I don't like Contra either. It's jsut my personal opnion, but I think that the AI, even the "Easy" one is way too brutal and it SPAMS artillery. Another thing I don't like that much is that you need ranks to get BUILDINGS, not only unlocks...The rest is nice. I like some of the ideas they have...

Also. Don't mess with contra. it was the first good mod i played and after the experience of reborn, contra was the only thing that kept my hopes alive on stable zero hour mods.
On Side note ROTR has balance issues and the gameplay really really is altered and its just isn't fun if you are a zero hour purist like me.
Project Raptor is unit whoring. there isn't much strategy gameplay since the money making mechanism in the next version is drastically altered but the vast number of units to play with are fun when you are in a "How should i fuck up the AI today" kind of a mood.
every mod has its own charm and it isnt actually fair on any mod to be compared with another unless they are targetting the same niche.

but as it isn't finished yet i'm not going to pass judgement
i do think there is definetely some good mods out there
Shockwave is the most professionaly done
Project Raptor is fun as it is pure spamming
Contra is Fun but only for rushers
Rise of the Reds, while a good mod shouldn't be judged properly yet either as they have yet to add the 3 generals and rebalanced the mod
and as for being able to play more than one mod on zero hour, well that was the reason modtoaster was invented
my top 5 list of mods would be this though
1. Shockwave 0.92
2. Mid East Crisis
3. Reborn V4
4. Rise of the Reds
5. Project Raptor Beta 7
although i am looking forward to Vietnam Glory Obscured, and Halogen

1.shockwave 0.92
2.reborn V4 (only if they werent stolen Stuff )
but I think playing the same game for 3 years is annoying even if there is shockwave so now I am just waiting for c&c 3 maybe Some changes.
and I wonder If there will be a shW mod for c&c3

1: Shockwave v.92(.93 when it comes out.)
2: ROTR
3: Not sure of a third. Wont say contra. I really don't like how they stacked the nuke gen, plus the ranking system thing sucks.
Trying project raptor now.

as i have 24 different mods for zero hour on it and it means less hassle with having to uninstall and the like
plus you can import 0.92 of shockwave so waiting for 0.93
which seems to be taking ages, will give you the shockwave loving you need

....the expansion EA should have made, had they not had their heads in the sand .
....an expansion of an expansion pack.
....an enhancement to Zero Hour.

balance is truly what makes this mod shine, and that's where ROTR falls (although ROTR is still working otu kinks i think)
though i am waiting for the Vietnam war mod (Glory Obscured) as that looks like a new game in itself, i will probably not get ModToast cuz none of the other mods seem anywhat apealing to me as of yet

2) Blitzkreig II. Good, fun, mostly realistic game. Though it lacks the modern age I love so much.
3) DefCon. Solid gameplay, good balance (though there are some issues there), and a cool ranking system. It is set way in the future and incorporates a good amount of realism with it. There are no big mechs and such like most "futuristic" (really SciFi) games/mods have. The mod lacks voices though, landing it at 3.
4) Shockwave 0.92. Though this mod is by far the most expansion-pack like of all mods; it is not my type of mod. It tends to keep away from realism and sticks to an utterly fake future setting around the time of zero hour/generals. Though it has a shitload of new sounds and units, I can't help getting bored of it after a short time. To put it out plain and simple: the mod will kick ass when its done, but for now, its just another mod.
5) Contra. I love this mod, but the balance sucks and the AI is near impossible. I never get to rank 5 because the AI is so hard. Either I try to crush them right away, or die in minutes...

Tell me about it. That mod needs Alot of balance, and the AI's are to hard. I understand the AIs need to be more challaging, but when your a first timer to the mod. How you suppose to learn the stuff when your getting pwned? Plus, the general powers can destroy your whole base and the ranking system sucks.
I beat the first 2 games I played, then lost the third. The first one wasn't really a challage. The second one was me vs the flame general. I did fine mostly then when it came to the the end, I had a CC, 6 powerplants, barracks, warfactory, 2 airfields, and the Stragety Center. When I attacked flame gen and managed to destroy her base with only 2 buildings left. I heard "my base is underattack". Then I look at my base and see there's only two power plants left. Both in red. Then I fought nuke gen. That was a waste of time, I lost before I started.
I mostly hate mods with out balance. When they overpower sides and give units with like no weakness. It's kinda lame.
I tryed the project Raptor mod. It's alright. Not two good and not to bad. Same with ROTR.
What other mods are out there that I could try?
"If I had your blood, I'll be back for the rest."
"If you don't want to see the eyes of a blood demon, just don't bleed."
