I hope the best for C&C Generals Franchise. It deserved a sequel long time ago.
Looks great! But I don't understand why they dropped the "Generals" subtitle.
I must say, I'm not a fan of the lack of campaign mode, nor do I quite like the restricted choice of generals to use, but the rotation system seems to be a decent method of giving you access to everything, and I'm sure the generals themselves won't be too expensive.

It seems to be a very popular trend in today's games to drop subtitles in sequels and just stick with the original name. "Reboot", as you will. Not necessarily a bad thing if it's pulled off right. I don't think they did it properly with Medal of Honor.

[QUOTE=markg06;41031230]Probably to just reboot the series and to remove the stain of Generals and C&C4.[/QUOTE] But the new game is essentially exactly what generals was, and I don't think anyone considered generals a stain on the series granted how succesful the game and it's mods were and still are.
Terrorists win.

A lot of people consider generals and zero hour the best CnC... That said interesting that they dropped the USA in favour of the EU. Pan-asian alliance still seems to be china in all but name.

I finished the Generals mode with an American aircraft general. Tons of fun :v:
