Command and Conquer: Generals


Recommended Posts

no it doesnt, westwood need to get there act together and finish there current projects like Red Alert3 and Command And Conquer tiberian Twilight.

If they wanted to get into the 3d rts genre they should have made it a whole new series rather then milking the command and conquer brand for all its worth, people will see it see command and conquer get in and play it and bebamboolzed why theres no GDI, NOD, Allies. Soviets.

Actually ill concede it does look cool the game but I just dont feel comfortable with the idea behind it I feel they should be working on what made them good the next C&C redalert, or maybe even another dune. You dont see Blizzard running off workin gon 10 other projects milking say the warcraft name on some other similar game, no they put there heads together and work on a game till there ready to release it, besides being irrated when they delay the release of their games, probably for the best, I dont recall ever having a problem with a blizzard game.

Ah eitherway Im not expecting to see Generals this year, but in the end ill probably still buy it or hire it etc.

Sorry to say, but the game suck. Man, it stutters like crap, bearly playable for me. The sound stutters, the gameplay stutters, everything stutters... even the damn menu stutters. WTF is Westwood thinking by releasing this game?!

I finally gave up and saved myself a gig of free space. (uninstall)

First of all, Osiris: The same thing could have been said about milking the Command & Conquer franchise when Red Alert was released. Where were GDI and NOD? But you know what? The game turned out better than the original. So know they bring us C&C Generals. No GDI, NOD, Allied or Soviets, but will someone be complaining about some future release that doesn't inlcude GDI, NOD, Allied, Soviets, Chinese, Americans and GLF? The fact that they put Command & Conquer on the box just lets me know that it will be another kick-ass RTS game from Westwood, regardless of the story involved.

As far as Blizzard, Warcraft and Starcraft sound pretty similar to me... And to Westwood's credit, they didn't anounce Generals three years ago and change the whole project twice since the original announcement (*cough* Warcraft III *cough*) and still not release anything but vaporware.

nomis_nehc: What the heck are you talking about? Installing and playing Generals? Let me know what stores you shop in!

Ironman273: Red alert wasnt better then the original. My point was simply why cant westwood be a little more like blizzard and get one project over at a time, instead of running 10 different ways with the same bloody brand name thus C&C.

I personally am sick of seeing spin offs, red Alert only intrested me because Kane was in it if you recall. I just want westwood to put the technology it appears generals has and get there ass moving and finish the C&C Saga. then they can run off all the little spin offs they want. At this rate no one will even remember the storyline for GDI and Nod, be burried under, soviet vs allies sotryline and battles, and china vs america storylines.

I cannot wait, either :)

I currently run www.CnCGenerals.com with Maniac (of red2.org) and netsprinter (I have worked with him in the CnC community for a long time), but it is not my site. I just want to make it clear that I do have a webmaster position along with Maniac (who owns the site) and ns, so it is not mine.

Personally, as long as this game does not have silly crap like RA2 it will be the best RTS in a loooooooong time!

They did....

no I was referring to making a realistic 3d rts. I meant rather then a fantasy RTS aas Dune was, well Sci Fi anyway.

As real as possible seems to be what there going for, but I jusat donmt think they should be using the C&C sorry C$C brand to cash the game in.

And I also think Westwood should get there ass into gear and finisht he actual Command and COnquer series off, thats all.

They can do whatever they wan't, its their license. I think you should not talk till you have played the game, either. They are not milking it, either. Total Annihilation 2 (http://voodooextreme.com/comments.taf?postID=27055), now that's milking it.

    • Honestly, I think the long-term play here is for Microsoft to ditch the idea of a traditional console entirely and just turn Xbox into a full-on operating system. They (or anyone!) could release hardware like a Mac Mini or a typical console with built-in GPU and RAM, but instead of being locked into a console ecosystem, they run the Xbox OS. It makes total sense because it pushes Game Pass, Windows, and all their other software. The handheld angle is really interesting too. You’d basically have a portable PC. Hook up a keyboard and mouse, and suddenly you can edit videos or get some real work done while on the go. Something like a prebuilt Xbox PC would be more than just a gaming box. It could be a decent little PC that people might actually upgrade with each generation. And since it’s running a PC-based OS, you’d get all the usual perks like mod support, cheaper games across different stores, and no extra charges just to plug in a webcam or other standard accessories. Plus, if they let you install the OS on your own rig, then you’ve got full upgradability too. Best bit also being Microsoft wont even need to build them anyone can and when they do Microsoft just wins. The competition is kind of stuffed. Those maybe relying on SteamOS might be ok but will still have software support issues and no Game Pass. Sony and Nintendo can’t really offer the same kind of flexibility at all not sure how they will live on. They’d struggle to match something that works as a desktop OS, console, handheld, streaming box, and media hub, all with your game library ready to go, never needing to rebuy games. Console exclusives are the only way they can live I think, but if they ever get blocked by antitrust rulings down the line, it’s game over. I'm waiting to see the bloat that's still left on these and if they let you install on a regular old PC. Fingers crossed this could be the lightweight OS we have been asking for.
    • I take my Apple Watch off at night and put it on the charger when I go to bed. Then I wake up the next morning I put it back on.
    • I don’t get what an ai device like a pendant does for me. As a man, I’m not wearing pendant. Then there is battery life. Battery life on my Apple Watch is horribly embarrassing. Having to charge every 36 hours is horribly inconvenient. Fitbits that hold a charge for 5-7 days are much better, so the pendant would need that level of charge. Voice is actually jarring for me. I find it inconvenient when people talk into their phones and I overhear their request. Speaker phones are fine in a closed office but not when others are around. If the device is screen less, it must either respond vocally or respond via the screen on my phone. if this another health device, does the marketplace need another?
