Command and Conquer Generals 2 Thread

Fact is more people own a console than a gaming PC so there is a greater potential customer base irrespective of game genre. Yes PC is the better platform for RTS but a PC capable of running a game based on frostbite 2 engine is less common than a 360 or PS3 which is why I suspect that it will eventually hit the consoles.
 
I miss terrorists!

Can't often say that.

Laser tanks, omg
Supply drops Omg
Big butt bases OMG
Massive defence followed by massive army building then rolling in and crushing the ion cannon just as it powers up.... Inappropriate for a Saturday morning!

Wow I loved generals, so much scope, the specific abilities of the challenge, the upgrade, I liked playing as the militant faction with upgrades to the main tank, and the Chinese massivenuclear tank, and the USA futuristic units

Don't think I even had a favourite faction, only game that is the case, cause they are so different

That game really nailed the balance aspect and at same time didn't just use ballistic looking weapons vs lasers with same effect. Units were fundamentally different. Super weapons also fundamentally different, multiple ion cannons lol

So so many upgrades etc, great maps, modern and almost believed units, the 3 main armies of the real world, almost to close to reality!

Oh, just remembered the tunnelling sneak attack!

Amazing game! Gonna play it today!

Hope this is good, it's the reason I still hold onto a games pc!

C and c and RA were good until c and c 3, and c 3 I enjoyed, colourful and fun, but not the balance and options of generals, after that red alert 3 was awful played a few levels I didn't even bother with c and c 4 as many didn't

Starcraft came out, which was brilliant, but that's a massive time frame with a single good game.

Oh this had better be good!

Is this admitting 4 was a huge fail?

If so learning from mistakes is better than repeating, fair enough they tried a change, hopefully never again. These games are bound to make money if they hit the easy to see spot

4 was a massive flop.
 
Does anyone from the original Westwood team even work at EA any more? Its Command & Conquer in name only, i think most of the Westwood staff just buggered off when EA started crapping out C&C titles left and right. How that last game even got released is mind boggling, a steaming hot turd squeezed into a dvd case would have been a more welcome suprise than that abomination.

No, it's marketing spiel. You read into it what you want to. 'Past' can mean any C&C game, you just want it to mean 'not the recent ones because they were ****' so that's what you're reading it as.

They seem to be playing off the good opinion of Generals here. The series is clearly dead to most fans so this may just be 1 last cash grab rather than a genuine attempt to bring the series back with a bang.

i just hope they can see the rubbishness of c and c 4, i mean i had bad sales as well as reviews.

is not easy to get perfect, but its easy to do ok making, its hard to do as bad a job as c and c 4

even using the old hit points etc from the old game would be ok, wouldnt need much extra work in the guts, just the visuals. Obviously dont want it the same, but i think the complexity of generals was spot on.

i dont want it to go the same as civ 4 to civ 5 with a massively retarded option list compared to its predecessor, i am a fan of complexity!

How could they not see how poorly cnc4 was received?
If you like complexity you should try DCS A10C
