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.

    • I think they mean a phone like the s6 edge where it breaks on first drop guarantee
    • This high-end GEEKOM Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) PC has been slashed by $200 by Steven Parker GEEKOM reached out to let us know of a discount it is running on its site in the U.S., where you can save $200 off the i7 model of Mini IT12 2025 Edition. That brings the already discounted price of $699 down to just $499; buying link below. Below are the full specifications of the variant on offer GEEKOM Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) Dimensions Size 117 x 112 x 45.6mm Weight 652g CPU Intel Core i7-1280P (14 Cores, 20 Threads, 24MB Cache, up to 4.80 GHz) Graphics Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics Memory 32 GB Dual-channel DDR4-3200 SODIMM; expandable up to 64GB Storage 1 TB x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD, expandable up to 2TB 1 x M.2 2242 SATA SSD slot, expandable up to 1TB Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth® v5.2 Ethernet Intel® 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet Wireless LAN Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211 Kensington Lock Yes Adapter 19V power adapter, 90W, with geo-specific AC cord (IEC C5) I/O Ports 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports 1 x USB 2.0 port 2 x USB4 ports 1 x SD card reader 1 x 3.5 mm headphone jack 1 x 2.5GbE LAN port 2 x HDMI 2.0 ports 1 x DC jack 1 x Power button MSRP $699 (see below for discount price) You may remember that we reviewed the i7-1260P variant in 2023. Here are our initial impressions of the Mini IT12 at the time. Once you have the PC out of the cushioning inside the box and the foam removed, you are greeted with a Thank You envelope. Below that, after removing the cardboard "shelf," you can find the other components, such as the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA mount plate with a bag of screws, and the instruction manual. What’s In The Box 1 x Mini IT12 Mini PC 1 x VESA Mount 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x User Guide 1 x Thank You Card As you can see, one HDMI cable is included in the box. Since the port is not HDMI 2.1, you will need to consider purchasing a mini DisplayPort cable or a USB4 (Type-C) to DisplayPort cable to maximize the potential of the Iris Xe Graphics display options. In addition, GEEKOM offers a one-year full warranty on its products, and if needed, you can RMA or return them locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, and the E.U. has a Germany warehouse). Buy the i7-1280P Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) for $499 (was $699) at GEEKOM U.S. Buy the i7-1280P Mini IT12 (2025 Edition) for $499 (was $699) at Amazon U.S. When checking out, use the $30 in-page coupon or NEOIT122025 coupon code. Best of all, the shipping is quick and free.
    • That's ######ing hilarious! And it sure works when you look at both of their faces.
    • When it comes to games specifically, sure, but until now the main focus has been on doing work. All you have to do is look at how hard they're pushing AI in the productivity space to see that they've got their enterprise users in mind 1st with gamers lower on the list. Now that should all change, at least for custom gaming devices like handhelds and even, I expect, custom mini-PCs that are like consoles you can put under your TV. The whole "Xbox PC" branding they had around the show says a lot IMO.
    • I'm excited to check this out. I never played the first version, but I did just finish playing through Smalland, and while I liked it, I found myself wishing for more engaging content.
