Original Generals was a very good game. Hopefully they don't break it too much.

Found this:

C&C Generals 2 will evolve the action-packed modern warfare game-play of the original C&C Generals to a new level. So get ready to compete for resources, build your base and command a massive army of tanks, soldiers and aircrafts into battle.

That screenshot looks immense.

And yeah I better be able to build a massive army and not be limited to some stupid number.

I just hope its like the classic C&Cs and no like C&C4 where you don't really build a base or harvest ore

Finally.i have great expectations for this game as Zerohour was my favourite rts ever.i played thousands of games online.

It looks like it is

Wow....loved the first one and the expansion. Can't wait for more on this.

Hopefully with it being PC only we wont see silly low unit caps...RTS on a console what kind of dumb**** thought that would be a good idea? (I am talking about the recent slew of terrible C&C games and the answer to my question is probably accountants who seem to be running EA, goddamn accountants they don't know **** about ****)

Although I am excited about this it will have to be REALLY good to make up for running the franchise into the ground...I suspect another DNF.

Makes me want to download and play c&c generals.Is there anywhere i can buy and download the game on the net?
Just been trying to get the original c&c games to work but no joy as they r so old.

d4ns · 11 Dec 2011 at 18:00

Looks awesome. Cant wait.

2013 is way too far away. :eek:

Squark · 11 Dec 2011 at 18:02

I really hope they don't screw it up. There hasn't been a decent RTS for years now.

You used to be able to download RA and Tiberian Sun (or was it Dawn? Maybe both?) for free but a few months ago EA shut down the C&C Classics website the sneaky money grabbing *********.

Good to see someone kept hold of the files.

trigger-happy · 11 Dec 2011 at 19:43

Lucky for me I keep hold of my old games, I still got the first decade, I'm thinking to reinstall it for the lulz online.

Evilsod · 11 Dec 2011 at 19:52

Can't see them dong anything special. Given how they've failed with the series lately they might just try copying Generals without bringing anything new which won't instantly make it a good game.

And Bioware lost there reputation already. They don't do anything their own way anymore, just how EA want them to.

That's a bit unfair, Starcraft 2 is awesome.

I'm soooo hyped about Generals 2 now. I've been hoping they'd make it ever since the first one came out, but they decided to go and massacre the older series first...

Like someone said, there better be classic base buliding & supply collection. IF they're in, they may as well take my money now

To be fair the supply collection in generals was pretty limited. I prefer the good old "hunt for fields of spice / ore / tiberium" method.

Strife212 · 11 Dec 2011 at 21:18

Spamming supply drop / black market / hackers was amazing.

Most elements of generals multiplayer were amazing actually.
