DESCRIPTION
Take the role of a great general and lead your forces to war in a world on the brink of Armageddon. Command & Conquer: Generals was developed by EA Pacific, an Electronic Arts studio that began as a division of the series' original developers Westwood , but Generals is set in its own 3D game world. Players choose to lead the armies of one of three factions: the high-tech United States forces, the swarming war machine of the Chinese, or the resourceful Global Liberation Army. As players gain experience, they become more powerful and choose new skills and abilities. The single-player campaign features over two dozen missions and multiplayer options support both competitive and cooperative online skirmishes. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Command & Conquer Generals is a major departure from the previous installments in the franchise, brought about by the collapse of Westwood studios, who were then bought by Electronic Arts, back in the day when EA still had a big reputation as a soulless sequel-not-really sports game company. Oh wait, they're still like that aren't they . . .
Set in a modern setting, the factions and units are caricatures of the Chinese, the United States, and some tactfully fictional terrorist group. The different factions have different styles of play, which aren't actually very noticeable. The balance is much like the first Red Alert title. Equivalent units almost literally mirror each other on opposing sides.
The multiplayer is the first in the series to make connecting and playing online easy and fun. You create an account in game, and the next minute you're bombing some tanks. The only thing that I believe is missing is a . . . oh wait, an expansion pack did come out for this: Zero Hour, an unoriginally titled title that expands the number of factions and units.
In all honesty, Generals by itself is somewhat bland. The game didn't really come alive for me until the expansion in which the huge variety of strategies comes into play, and that's what this whole franchise is about: STRATEGY!
I recommend Generals to strategy fans, but only if you buy the expansion with it.”

“First off, Great Post!
Supreme Commander, and its Predecessor, Total Annihilation, are among the best RTSs ever made IMHO. I also count Company of Heroes in that group. All of them had a level of DEEP strategy that went so far beyond simply point n click with a bunch of units (C&C). And while I love the flavor and fun of a C&C or a Red Alert, you just cannot beat the strategic depth, and the amazing design of those others.

“If you haven't played it, I also highly recommend the Total War games. Start with Rome: Total War, and then try Empire: Total War. They add in the truly strategic side with the world map level game, but the RTS is also extremely well done. Combat will obviously slow down as compared to a standard RTS, but your decisions about tactics, formations, and what units to bring to bear when are truly fantastic. You can read some of my Empire: Total War Adventures here to get a flavor of the game: http://wormy.gamerdna.com/game/empire-total-war-ibm-pc-compatible ”

I heard total war is good. I played it once but i found it too slow for my liking. But i know lot of people who love it :).”

“You should give Sins of a Solar Empire a try. As for me, I've always been partial to C&C mainly because it's got a good history of quality.
we just won't discuss the campy live-action acting scenes though.............
As far as the quality goes, yes it has as a series gotten considerably better. graphichally speaking excellent, interface good, recent storylines fair. So yeah, in that department, I can see your argument and agree that since EA bought the franchise and did it's own thing with it, it makes me sweat the future releases of some games I'm looking forward to (Mass Effect 2 mainly).”

“hmm i have been recommended to Solar Empire by several ppl, but i do not a huge fan of space strategies.
What i see wrong with EA is they are not giving enough time for game C&C development cycles. All their recent titles seem to be rushed and poorly balanced. We still play these games because we are die hard fans of the C&C franchise rather than to their quality.
The problem is with their business plan. I also feel that they don't have a good game designer. ”

“I think it was a shame and mistake they went and canceled Tiberuim, the FPS. that game looked solid from the brief demo shots they gave of it. ”
AlazarRamir was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...
“I have to agree to some point that with C&C (Tiberium saga) they kept the story going. They have so far not disappointed me on that branch. However with RA, when the second one came out, yes it was fun but it was no longer the same. The first RA was serious and dark. The follow up was funny and introduced weird units. The third was blatantly exaggerated.
And as for the canceled Tiberium FPS, that would have been fun to play. I have Renegade, which was fun to play and immerse yourself in the old C&C world, but it would have been better if we got a glimpse of the later world.”

“I think tiberium was canceled due to quality issues. It was supposed to have AI bots as squad members for the first time in online play. Maybe that didn't go well. But i think EA is developing a new FPS on the tiberium universe. C&C4 is the last C&C game in tiberium universe but they said there would be other products as well. This was hinted in the first interview that came with the C&C 4 announcement.
I agree with Alazar, C&C3 is ok story wise. But gameplay wise it could have been better. RA3 is not replayable at all. Its quite dissapointing. ”

“I really hope they don't butcher C&C4. As it being the last one in that story I want it to go down with a BANG! Yet sometimes some companies try to hard and can destroy it beyond recovery. So PLEASE I am begging thee!!!”
Torinir was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...
“Agreed on all counts. C&C3's story was OK, but the gameplay was flaky. The KW expansion made things worse for gameplay, and tried to recycle the global conquest game style from WH40K:DOW, but filled in some holes in the C&C story between C&C:TS and C&C3.
RA3 is just silly. I was ashamed to have picked that game up. Although it came with a beta invite for "the next C&C game" so we'll see whether that pans out or not. And I *am* interested in what C&C4 looks like and plays like.”

Raven85 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...
“I have a feeling that C&C4 would be better in terms of gameplay, but the way they are designing is not C&C. Thats the biggest criticism i have. We don't need DOW2/WIC style games. We already have them. When you have a trademark product, you don't do drastic changes unless the design is flawed. Usually you tweak it and make it a bit better. The bad design and spamming of C&C games of late and the lack of imagination has forced EA to change the game style completely and take out gameplay concepts from other well established genre defining games which is very sad :(.
A C&C game should be like the old C&C games with bases, tiberium harvesting, large tank battles ,commandos and more importantly unique and varying missions and a balanced multiplayer. An in every release they should keep these things an do minor updates and tweaks and make them feel fresh and better. To do that you need imagination and creativity which EA seems to lack.”

“It feels like they've turned C&C into more of a rusher's game, aiming for fast action while still hanging on to some base-building.
I played the first C&C, oddly enough, on the N64. I guess I never really got into the series because I didn't have a worthy computer at that point. Before C&C my favorite strategy game was Age of Empires II. I got back into C&C with Generals and ZH. I enjoyed them so much that I got into making maps for them, and won EA's Zero Hour map making contest.
Next I tried C&C 3, but it just didn't feel right. RA3 looked pretty much like more of the same, and I'm still iffy about C&C 4. I have since turned to CoH, SupCom, WiC, and DoW2 to satisfy my RTS cravings. I say go all out with little to no base-building with a focus on intense battles, or make it worthwhile for the player to make a base that functions well with traditional resource gathering. I'm still waiting for a sequel to Battlezone II...the unmatched FPS/RTS hybrid.”

“Haha. My first C&C game started with the N64, but I never got real interested in them, hence why I haven't played any of them except for the C&C3 demo, which was OK in my opinion.
As with Sins? It's not for everyone. I personally wasn't a fan of it. While its large area of space is super neat, it just felt really really slow and I couldn't really get past the first mission without getting bored.
I remember growing up with AoE I and II (amazing games), Warcraft 2, and also Lords of the Realm 2, which was kinduva smaller version of the Total War games, whereas, it's a turn based Civ-style game up until you go into combat, which then turns to RTS.
I didn't really play many RTS games for the next few years until Rise of Nations came out, which had me hooked for a while, as well as Battle for Middle-Earth 2.
I haven't tried SupCom yet, but yes, CoH, WiC, and DoW2 have me as well :)”

“DOW2 is really good and a novel concept. I played the campaign twice, but after that it felt very repetitive. My point is that CoH had more replay value than DOW2. But DOW2 is simply a great game. The squad customizations and wargear and the brutal combat make it awesome. Maybe its my taste, but i don't have the urge to play it again and again. Only RTS that i have been playing atleast on a daily or weekly basis is Zero Hour and not because ZH it self is great, but because of some great mods, especially Shockwave and Rise of the Reds.”

I actually didn't list it out because I didn't want to make the post too long. But here ya go:
Age of Empires - The first RTS I played..and probably the first game that I learned to look up cheats for on the internet to unlock things like Lazer and Nuclear Missile soldiers.
Command & Conquer: Generals - I played this game quite a bit online (over dialup!) with a good friend of mine. We used to play every night or so, using our phones as a ventrilo/Teamspeak type service. We were pretty unstoppable!
Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive - First FPS that I played online pretty seriously. I joined my first clan and played semi-competitively with them. For a good two months or so I was very good at these games. Then The Matrix Online came out it sucked all my time away :P
Sonic the Hedgehog - First console game that I ever played..and probably my first game that I loved.
GoldenEye 007 - First FPS that I really loved, and first FPS that I played multiplayer. I used to play this game all the time!
WWF Royal Rumble - I have very fond memories of playing this game with my dad around Christmas time of 1993 :) Probably the first game I played with my dad :)”

“Command & Conquer: My second RTS, but my 5th Westwood Studios game. Loved that game, ran smoother than any other RTS I'd previously played and had video cutscenes at a high res (so you could make out what was being displayed).
Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries: I'd played MW2, but Mercs added money, purchasing, equipment, extra mechs, a varienty of missions to take... seems old hat now, but back then it was a rarity. And I loved it.
X-com: Classic example of a team based strategy games, with classic aliens to realy bizar creations which could rip through buildings and troopers alike. Individual members would gradually get better with every mission (more so if they managed to bag a bady). Also, funky sci-fi midi music too.
Gerry Andersons UFO in game form... Awesome (And yes, I feel OLD).
Fallout: The first of the series of the post apocolyptic roleplay games. Fumbling around in an open world with no clue what I was doing, getting turned into ugly red smears across the landscape for the first week until I realised what I was doing wrong (I.E. Picing fights I couldn't win). It had a charm all of its own though.
Dark Age of Camelot: Classic MMO warfare, with sharp sticks, bad language and overpowered elementalist ran riot. The lands where filed with profane chaos as three sides battled (and Swore) their way to victory or defeat. Did I mention the gratuitous language use? Pity they went and added spaceships, I never did understand that.
Also, it was Barrys world and Feddys house (the Dark Age forums) where I developed into the fully fledged troll you all know and.... well, know.”

Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines. My favorite RPG of all times (still). I loved the setting, how it was rendered into CRPG and everything about it (well, except bugs, but... oh well... good thing is that community almost get rid of them by now).
Fate/stay night. Despite being a famous eroge, I find it's story most compelling of everything else that I've seen in video games.
TrackMania series. I do not know how this game manage to pump adrenaline in my veins almost instantly every time I play it. Unique game that offer real challenge every race.”

Copious notes were taken, much soda was guzzled, and the room had little ventilation and smelled like the inside of a packet of dry-roasted peanuts.
Various Point & Click Adventure games: In high school I had a friend who would get every single point and click graphical adventure that came out and we'd either go to his house or over to mine and just spend hours playing these things. I think we went through Loom in about an hour.
Final Fantasy VII: I think this game is good, but highly overrated, but that's not why I'm putting it here. It was this game that got my wife into video games. She watched me play through the entire game, following the story as I went. When I got FFVIII, she played a bit of it. When I got IX, she played through the whole thing by herself. FFIX and Chrono Cross completed my lovely wife's transformation into a gamer girl, but it was FFVII that started the process.”

“I have fond memories of playing Final Fantasy III (VI) with my little brother when it first came out. He would play until he got stuck, then say it was my turn and watch me play until I got past where he was, then whine until I let him play again. He cried when I won the game before he did. (It was an emotional day.)”

“Dark Cloud - Man I logged MEGA hours on this game. Felt I was never quite good enough to go in the caves so I kept going back to level up, and leveling up, and leveling up....then come to find out at the end of the game my character just became a monster, finished the game with no problem. Scared of the unknown I guess.
COD2 on Veteran - Silly me decides "Hey I want all the achievements I am going to play this on Veteran and rule"..Wow was I ever wrong. I can remember being stuck for a couple of weeks on one section near the end. The final battle was just BRUTAL! I can seriously put this one on of my greatest serious achievements of gaming to finish.
Rainbow Vegas 6 - How many ridiculous hours can one clock on this game. I do not know but I am definitely at the top. After achieving Elite status that was a chore within itself, you felt compelled to keep going. Why do I need to be level 13 Elite after a year after the game has been released. Do not not know, but damnit I am going to spend a Saturday Night doing so. 8^)

“Super Mario Bros. 3. This game was possibly my favorite to play as a little kid and, to this day, still doesn't get boring, even after playing the super-awesome ROM hack of it made by DahrkDaiz. I think this game is the perfect 2D platformer. If not that, then at least the best 2D Mario game ever.
There're a lot more games for me to list, but I really don't feel like thinking about all of them right now because I'd be sitting here forever trying to think of things to reminisce over and anybody insane enough to read it all will end up having wasted a large amount of time doing so.”

“For me it's a tie between the original Contra and the NES port of Gauntlet. because these were tthe first two games where my cousin and I could play together, though we weren't always co-ordinated. There were plenty of "let's go this way...no this way...I SAID this way!!" and "up there. no up there, damn it are you even TRYING?!" and the ever popular "you stupid."
But I mean we look back fondly on those days and smiel. He recently got married and told me in a letter after the wedding that days and memories like those were the best parts of growing up.”

“The original Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World. Sonic turned me onto gaming, but it was those two Mario games that nailed me down. I spent days and days trying to get through the stages and asking older people, with better coordination than a seven year old, to get me through the hard parts of some stages (curse you water worlds, curse you).
Ocarina of Time after that, I fell out of gaming for a while, but when I came to the states that was the game that brought me back in. I think I beat in maybe four marathon play sessions and just about cried at the end because damn it the game was over, there was no more, where would I get my fun now?
No game has caught my undivided attention recently though. Not for lack of quality, but I can't allow myself that kind of immersion any more. That crazy thing called 'real-life' keeps butting in. T_T”

It also has a great, compelling story, like I've rarely seen in other video games.”

“It´s hard to avoid FF7 for me aswell. The JRPG Xenogears also made an impression on my. Daggerfall for it´s immersion. Silent Hill, as it was the first game that I actually found scary. Ninja Gaiden (nes) for it´s cut-scenes. Another World on the Amiga for it´s cinematic feel. Shadow of the Beast (Amiga) for it´s music and graphics. Completely blew me away when I first saw it. Probably lot´s of other games that escapes me at the moment.”

“Best gaming memory for me was from "Fallout: A post Apocalyptic Role Playing Game" (seriously, that was the whole title heh). I had been running around with the NPC Ian in my party for a few hours leveling up, and a friend of mine was there, and 9 out of 10 times Ian, who was supposed to be GREAT with SMGs, would hit me, even when I wasn't in his line of fire, which was baffling enough. So my buddy finally goes "Hey, why don't you give him the super-sledge? Can't really hit you with crossfire that way." So I'm thinking, sure, why not? And besides, I'll save caps on ammo. So I give him the S.S., and in the first fight after that, his turn rolls around, and he walks right up to me and hits me in the head, with a crit, and my characters arms fly off and his head explodes, I look at my friend, he looks at me, and we both start laughing so hard we couldn't breathe, great times.”

“Gold Box Pool of Radiance c.1988. Named all our characters after different wine and liquor. (Jack Daniels? Paladin.) Memorable for the turn based combat, graph paper usage, code wheel, and monochrome green monitor. Later updated to a Color EGA monitor. Also memorable because we took the same party of characters through all four Forgotten Realms Gold Box games.”

“Super Mario Brothers - I wanted a Nintendo so bad and finally got one for my birthday. My friends and I took turns trying forever to master that game. And the way you would find tips out those days, like how to get all the extra guys, the contra code, etc.
A Link to the Past - My brother, his buddy and I took it on during a Spring Break. All week was dedicated to freeing poor Zelda.
Phatasmagoria - All point and clicks were popular at our house (King's Quest in particular from text based to full graphics), but brother and I took on Phastasmagoria right at the same time the whole Beatles anthology blitz was happening. I had nightmares that Lennon was trying to kill me in all varieties of ways. Phastasmagoria messed with my head something fierce!”

“Sooo many.....
R-Type: I could watch the demo of this game over and over. I only dropped a few quarters in this one but the artwork and concepts that were shown in the demo opened me to the world of possibilities that is video games. I also missed the bus for school once while playing...
Ninja Gaiden 1&2: I loved this series. I had the best ideas for a follow up. I used to get so pissed at the f#*k%ng hawks that would hit you whilst jumping over chasms...
SuperC: Introduced me to that sweaty controller smell.
SMB3: The first time you got 3 matching cards at the end of a level says it all. I want that feeling for every day tasks...
Castlevania (3&4): I could spend hours listening to the hidden music player on these
Magician Lord: This was another one like R-Type. Mad inspiration. Still never got a sequel.
Streetfighter II: Mastering the shoryuken made me feel evolved.
Mortal Kombat: First time I saw a dude get launched on to a pit of spikes I was like "oh no they didn't!!"
Chrono Trigger: I wanted to live in that floating island.
Turok: For me, the first FPS I ever played. It was a good try and the weapons were some of the most impressive ever.
Goldeneye: It was like Mario Kart meets Doom meets tag. Sniper rifle ruled.
Mario 64: If I could wake up every day and discover this game all over again then life would be beautiful.
Ocarina of Time: I remember dropping MGS halfway through for this one.
skip a few
Shadow of Colossus: Best game I've ever played. Made me feel like there is still hope for this industry as a vehicle for art and creativity.
notice I kept the FF games out for brevity :)

All of them were SO awesome to watch! I wasn't as good at RPGs or Shooters as he was, so it was always fun to watch =]. That's pretty much how him and I bonded anyway haha
Another memory that I have is crying during Powerstone....2? I think it was 2. I couldn't beat the last boss to save my LIFE! My bro and I literally tried for HOURS until I hit my tv and started crying... Then he began crying too =] Yea we were babies about it, but we NEVER forgot about it! haha”

Beating Kirby on SNES was an amazing experience as well.
I also enjoyed being introduced to RTS games like Starcraft and Warcraft in elementary school, as well as the later Final Fantasy games (VII-X) in middle school (Squall for life :D)
Oh and of course getting callouses/blisters on my left thumb because of the friggin N64 joystick.”

I also remember my dad trying to help me play pole position. FTW! I young and it was my first video game. ”

The best aspect was when you were out you became the bomb. Most noteably the greast revenge aspect in any game. The look on your Buddies face. One ballon left two people down one to go flying around ticking off ballons on them and POW!. You lose cause guess what my bomb caught you. No other Mariocart compaired to the 64s handleing (minus the godawful controller) and just sheer fun of the battle modes. But becomeing the bomb made that game. Pity there hasnt been another one since.”

Was spoiled by being launched on an outdated engine, lack of advertising outside of the US and a culture not quite ready for instanced MMO play. Will never forgive them for canning it.”

We ran 27 hour sessions where we would RUN to the bathroom, grab lunchmeat or chips and a Dew and run back so we weren't afk for too long. I remember the LONG hours of waiting at some drop site for whoever was there to leave so I could take my turn "camping" for the next piece of gear I needed. Too bad the person in front of me was camping it en mass to sell it in the tunnel of Eastern Commons. Still some fond and crazy memories, fighting dragons in 50man raid against 1 dragon. Highest level at that time was 50. WoW took that and "fixed" some of the rotten issues like trading stuff on your account with alts and running back to loot your corpse and getting killed a dozen times along the way. I still kinda miss playing with my old friends there..thank goodness for WoW WotLK!”

“The best game I ever played hands down was Diablo II. For online MMO it would be Tabula Rasa, alas not enough played so they closed it. Have kind of been wondering around for one to replace it but still no joy in mudville. Play DDO and have found the Aion beta to be very exciting, only time will tell. Tried WOW but found it not my cup of tea.Have been playing beta's like crazy to find a new Tabula Rasa, not there yet.”

“lForgot to metion that first gamed I played on a computer TRS-80 in 1978 was a text adventure game. The first game that scared the crap out of me was Doom. Played all verions of Doon and Quake.”

“For me, the best memories comes from:
Infiltrator II (Commodore 64), one of the very first helicopter simulators. I will never forget the soviets yelling at you "Die! You capitaalist traitor dog!" lol
Doom 2 (PC) wow that was suspense! I remember junping up to the ceiling one day when i was playing coop with a friend and someone suddenly opened the room door.
Shattered Steel (PC) Not much to say, the best mexh simulator ever done, really good memories from it.
Dune 2000 (PC) and our great LAN wars, tons of fun.
Counterstrike (PC) It was sweet to hear all those people crying for getting their a** permanently kicked
Killer Instinct 1 (Arcade) and the endless tournaments... best of all, the winner always got a prize in cash, so we have a lot of pizza parties sponsored by the game :D
Priston Tale (PC) well, my very first mmorpg, that must count.”

“Secret of Mana. I spent many hours back in the day playing that with my best friend [and wishing we had a SNES multi-tap so his brother could play] and I still consider it the best RPG I have ever played.
Also, X-Men 2: Clone Wars. Again, I spent many hours playing this with my best friend. We used to use a sega Game Genie to unlock Magneto early, but then we'd fight over who'd get to play as him. Of course once I played as him, I wanted to go back to Nightcrawler or Wolverine.”

“Ultima IV: Back in the days before online walkthroughs when you actualy had to figure things out yourself my best friend and I spent an entire year working through Ultima IV. We were very close to the end when I lent the disk (5.25 floppy) to another friend and he started a new game and saved over our game save! I never did see the end.
Other great memories:
Everquest 2: Joined an awesome guild of great people which led to many great memories.
Neverwinter Nights: Also found great people for MP games.

“Showing my age here, but I LOVED playing MicroProse's "Pirates" on my Commodore 64. Huge map and great game play for it's time - way ahead of any other game of the era. I spent countless hours a day playing trying to conquer Havana... I still have my Commodore and the game - maybe I'll dig it out and see if I still remember how to play =)”

“@chucklesnatas Never feel that you have to hide your age around here. I make no secret of the fact that I turn 32 next month and have been gaming longer than a good portion of the people who post on this site have been alive. We're a friendly bunch around here, and as long as you contribute to the conversation we couldn't give a rip what your age is.
Speaking of the good old C64, did you ever play a game that was dental themed? You had to remove bits of plaque from these huge teeth, and if you took too much time the teeth would turn black and fall out. I cannot remember the name, but it was fun. My mother got it at a dental hygienist convention she attended.”

“I played the dental game! What was the name of that?
I found it on gamefaqs - http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/c64/review/R99932.html Tooth Invanders. I didn't have a 64 though, so I wonder if they made it for Apple II or if I played it at a friend's house, since I remember it clearly in my head!”

“I did play the dental game - though it took a back seat to Summer and Winter Olympics. I have something like 250-300 games for it still, from strip poker to flight sims plus the arcade classics. I'll have to dig thru them and see what I have - I could start a museum or something =) ”

“FYI, for anyone who's interested... Out of curiosity I looked around and found an emulator verion of Pirates! for PC, along with the map and manual. If you're interested, PST with your email and I'll send it to you. I am actually excited to play this game again!!”

“Often found in many RTS multi-buy packages is this game: C&C Generals. But it shares the same problem as it's expansion pack in that it may not operate on all PCs. The rest of this reveiw is inverse of that of the 'Zero-Hour'expansion pack.”
