<div class="IPBDescription">C&C Generals</div>The nukes in this game are insanely sexy :D

<img src='http://members.cox.net/doomaniac/doublenuke.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

I already know about 8 peeps in the NS community who got this great game, who else got it?

I really think this is without a doubt the best C&C game since Red Alert 1. Perhaps even since the original C&C. And maybe, just maybe even.. ever. :O Its that good.

    I'll probably get it. Looks pretty cool. I played C&C. I forget which one, but the soliders got hurt when walking over Tiberium. ;P

    You're joking, right?

    Because C&C Generals was a joke right from its announcement.

    That's my opinion of just about everything. Teachers don't like it when I try to tell them to not give me homework because of the importance of "killing feedwater hive."

    ALL the supeweapons in Generals looks good - but i really like the chinese "artillery barrage" on L3 becuase you can't counter it - and it destroys almost any building - and you don't know when it's going to hit <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    also i think the chinese has the best defense - at least without babysitting.

    *points and laughs at Cry Havoc* C&C Generals wasn't a joke, it was a step in the right direction. Tiberian Sun, while fun, made me gag at times with the utter idiocy of it. Come on, you honestly want us to believe that *alien* resources fallen from the sky will last long on earth when we can just nuke it? The GDI had ion beam satellites so why didn't they just get rid of NOD by Ion Saturation attacks?

    C&C Generals at least has a grounding in reality. It at least has the capacity to be more then a rehash of Red Alert with the ore replaced with Tiberium. It at least implements some of the cool features seen in Emperor:BFD.

    And the min Specs are (shocked gasp):
    800 Mhz Minimum
    128mb RAM
    1.8 GB HD
    8x CD-Rom (but honestly, if you don't have that you shouldn't be allowed to play games at all)
    32mb Video Card

    Recomended (what my friend has)
    2ghz
    256mb RAM
    1.8GB HD space
    56x CD rom
    32mb vid card (his is crap so it's on low detail)

    A step forward in terms of graphics, but a fall into a stinky hole in terms of everything else.

    Generals is a disgrace to the C&C name.

  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    How is it a disgrace? Because buildings are rotational? Because it isn't firmly seated in the past or future but rather the present? Because you can purchase upgrades for your army based on your command? Some people say WarCraft 3 is a disgrace to the WC name but I think it's the best one yet because it is innovative.

    Without the cry for something more grounded in what we know, where would we be? We'd still be playing Herwog Zwei probably.

    Btw Cry, have you actually played the game or seen it played? or are your assumptions based on Articles, screenshots and game-movies?

    I think cry is rather alone in thinking that Generals sucks as much as he says it does. I have been looking forward to it since it was announced, and think many of the concepts are very novel.
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    The rotational buildings was implemented in the lukewarm Emperor: Battle for Dune.

    The General bonuses are like Heroes (but not duplications of) from WC3

    The new 3d buildings and zoom in/out are a godsend

    All in all, while its kinda creepy that it's released now, it's still a good game for the C&C line. It finally stops following convuluted plot lines.

    I guess you never played SOLE SURVIVOR.

    The C&C Franchise can't get any lower than that. ever. The box could not even have a CD and you'd feel better about it.

    Also do you not remmeber the crapfest of Red Alert 2? :P


    I love generals. Its great.

    Um.. you're aware that by that logic, Red Alert is just a re-hash of C&C w/ Tiberiam replaced with Ore, right? heh.

    Tiberium was the original C&C resource...

    I know Doomaniac, but the original C&C Tiberium was nothing like RA1 Ore, but the C&C Tiberian Sun tiberium regenerated...suspiciously like the RA1 Ore and had almost the same chunkature and stuff, just different coloring.

    and I'm glad C&C:G is being accepted, it's cool game and I loved it since I saw "In the future, war will be fought with words...words like Scud Missiles, carpet bombing and Tomahawk missiles"

    i run it with:
    1.3Ghz
    512Mb SD ram
    80Gb harddisc
    128mb G4 ti4600
    - the graphics card is <i>really</i> important, i run it on medium detail, but when a nuke comes in the sounds "lags", when im looking at it for some secs.
    one thing i really like about generals is that they have ditched their old interface and used the "standard" interface, used by most other RTS's.

    a info for those who have the game - <a href='http://www.cncbunker.com' target='_blank'>CnC sector</a> has 4 generals maps
