Treasure this game because there's no way in hell this could be released today. Hell, it had to be censored in Germany when it was released back then.

The entire game was great satire, much like the C&C series itself, even though this one wasn't made by Westwood Studios. Even the USA team was very over-the-top, but yet commentary on the then War on Terror and War on Iraq. You had tanks called Crusaders and Paladins, with lines like, "Doing what's right!" it's brilliant, haha.

@quint3ssent1a

Жыл бұрын

I think the part about Crusaders was actually real, there was a real armored vehicle called crusader in development around the time Generals were released. Two differences: 1) it was a self-propelled howitzer, not a tank, 2) it was scrapped due to budget cuts somewhere in 2005. In a sense, Generals are a monument to closed weapon projects: stealth helicopter Comanche makes appearance, Crusaders being actually deployed, and many more stuff that never made it past the prototype stage.

The rest are technology that wasn't developed but was theoretically possible with the tech at the time. Zero Hour was rushed an included even more of these, such as Railgun Artillery, Laser rifles for Rangers and Burton, Laser main guns for Comanches and Paladins. Airforce and Superweapon were intended to have their own (weaker) tanks, but due tot he rush they were never completed, though the assets (audio files, screenshots of development, unused models and icons) were still in the game files.

I switched from WASD movement controls to ESDF so that I could keybind my weapons to adjacent key presses, so I could instantly switch to a different weapon by moving a finger to an adjacent key. I think rocket launcher was "R", shotgun was "W", rail gun was "G", plasma was "T", etc. The gun I would use would depend on the situation, usually I initiate with a rocket by shooting a nearby wall or floor, bounce them, get close and use shotgun, and finish them off with plasma rifle. If they are far away, I just rail gun them. I tried to get max armor, max health and quad damage as often as possible so I can one shot a bunch of people. If I saw someone running towards a weapon/health item, I would just shoot rockets at the weapon/item location and they would get blasted away. I won something like 100 to -6, with a flawless victory (zero deaths). They team killed each other on accident a few times and got negative points.

Funny thing about caricature villain factions in RTSses is the fact they're often the most fun factions to play.

And thus was born a glorious pool of phrases that were used for epic memery. “GLA Postal Service: Nothing stops the mail!”

this is like that one scene in south park were they try to fight back new jersei and than al quida shows up with an armada of planes
