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.

    • Microsoft is officially making the Xbox app on PC a universal launcher by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe It was earlier this year that an image mockup from Microsoft showed the Xbox app on PC with an interesting change: including support for other PC stores on the app, teasing that it may be becoming a universal launcher like GOG Galaxy or Playnite. Considering the company's new handheld initiative that will house a brand-new gaming-focused version of Windows, it was clear that this feature was on the way. And now, Xbox Insiders have access. Announced today as the 'aggregated gaming library' feature, it's poised to land this holiday on the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X to easily manage all their installed games from a single place. But before that, Xbox Insiders on PC can have a crack at it to see how it functions and provide feedback to Microsoft. In its current state, Microsoft says that the feature now supports Xbox, Game Pass, Battle.net, and "other leading PC storefronts," all handled via the Xbox PC app. The company did not detail what these other storefronts are, but Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and EA Play apps seem likely candidates. "Whether you’re on a Windows PC or a handheld device, your Xbox library, hundreds of Game Pass titles, and all your installed games from leading PC storefronts will now be at your fingertips," said the company. When a game from a supported store is installed on a PC, Insiders should now see it appear on the Xbox app in the My Library and Most Recent sections for easy access. "And this is just the beginning," adds Microsoft. "We’ll continue rolling out support for additional PC storefronts over time." Insiders can also disable this functionality and hide games from specific stores if needed from the Settings > Library & Extensions menu. Anyone interested in testing out the new 'aggregated gaming library' update can use the Xbox Insider app on PC to enroll in the ongoing Insider Previews.

    • This guy is just salty that Waymo is about to get buried by a company with cars that cost significantly less, charge significantly lower fares, and will soon dramatically outnumber their fleet. Waymo made the mistake of not reducing their vehicle cost quick enough and not overcoming their route limitations. Unless they start allowing their cars to use the freeways and have significantly wider geofencing, they're going to soon join the list of discontinued Google products. If Tesla wasn't the one to make them irrelevant, somebody else soon was. There's a long list of companies designing robotaxis right now.
    • LOL. Hard to believe people still fall for this. If you are having some sort of issue, I would work on fixing that instead turning off these settings.
