Love this game from the first time I installed it, being playing it for years now, and yet all I hear is people moaning about it.

Had C&C3 for a bit now, apart from units I struggle to see a differance myself. Dont get me wrong, I like the new game, but just what did Generals do that was so wrong? Apart from multi-player netcode...

Was it flawed, or did a lot of people just jump on a band wagon and **** it off, much like the trend for the ATI R600. No ones used one, but already its cack!
 
Woo, thats two people that like it! You know what I mean though. Just read review of new C&C in PCZONE, and they had a little dig at Generals there too.
 
Wasn't in the same universe, but to me was in the same vein as the others. Still looks good now, unlike original C&C. Had a play a while back, started giving me a headache!

The problem with Command & Conquer: Generals was that it was an EA game called Generals, that when EA acquired Westwood had C&C slapped on the front. Other than that it was a good game. Despite being a C&C whore I've not played the third one yet. Tried the demo and couldn't get past the fact the zoom level was horrendously low. Didn't help I'd being playing SupCom either.

I was dissapointed with zoom level too, not a great deal of differance is it.


Cheers for the replies everyone, maybe its not as hated as i thought, :eek:

I played C&C generals quite a lot, especially zero hour. It just didnt feel like it had the same quality of units and correct balance of units / gameplay that C&C had and C&C 3 has. There was far far FAR too many irritating tactics that could be used.

To mention a few..

GLA's bloody tunnels straight from the start!
GLA's scud weapon rapid fire bug that haunted the game for ages as kids realised how to do it.
china infantry ridiculously overpowered compared to other teams to the point where a top quality USA would struggle against an average china inf.
USA's chinnocks early game..

Just so many other things early game really!! If you play with mates at a lan it'd be good but playing with randoms with extremely irritating tactics was extremely tedious.

annoys me still thinking back :p

glad C&C 3 is out!!

But at least there were tactics, not just tank rushing. You never knew where, or how, your enemy was coming from when played online.
