Comand & conquer: generals

[red oct 2]

after that overhyped giant turd they've been polishing for the last couple of years, Renegade. they are now finally moving the classic stradegy Comand & Conquer not only in REAL 3D, but now they will use MODERN WEAPONS! no more far fetched units and sides like Nod, GDI, or Telsla Coils, Mammoth tanks, Appocolyspe Tanks ect.. real life hardware. the story goes something like china helps u.s. deal with some terror group in southern asia which takes place 20 years into the future, im not exactly sure go get more info at gamespot anyway heres the eyecandy

hmm, looks like a command & conquer version of "Commanche 4"

i better read some spectacualr article, if im not impress ill maybe try the demo, i hope they dont blow it

renegade kinda feels like a cheap tribes 2 clone. read the articles before judging

It looks amazingly sweet!!

I hope it will not do the same mistake that Star Wars Force Commander did: crap camera work! That ruined the whole game!

Camera will be the hardest problem!

No mammoth tanks? What are those tanks with 2 gun barrels then?

It looks nice. Environmental bumb mapping, nice looking particle system, great looking lighting effects, good looking textures etc. All looks like C&C should of looked about 2 years ago. Maybe too little too late, but I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it

amen about force commander

it would have been decent but the full 3d ruined it totally. i can appreciate a little 3d, but if im trying to command a large force in a rts i dont want to look at the little AT-AT's ass while trying to get a decent view of the enemy

I not going to read any press about this game, whenever i do about a game im excited about, they always make it sound so cool, never pointing out the bad points, and i get all hyped up about it, and then get dissapointed. Not this time.

Also, i wonder if this will be a second spinoff, like red alert, or will it be a prequel to tiberium dawn?

Not expecting much. They can do games that look good, but their games often play the same as the previous ones.

Are those YF-23's!

[Damage Inc 0]

They look like it. And that big plane looks like a C-130

8 engines, must be a B-52

[Damage Inc 0]

Well it's a big bomber so it must be a B-52.

Those big planes all look the same to me though.

[Intruder 0]

Every plane is different to me , Like the difference between a Boeing 747-300 and 747-400 <-has winglets

LOL you're weird

That's what 3 years of Aeronautical Engineering does to you

The only planes I can tell apart from each other are some fighter planes.

[Thehamster 0]

I can tell apart helicopters from planes but that is about it/

[Damage Inc 0]

I can tell a helicopter apart from a car.

A:

B:

Now tell us which is which...

[Intruder 0]

A haha, a turkey with no head.

Is the answer B?

Back to the topic.

Looks like the game engine is an improved version of the engine used in 'Emperor: Battle for Dune'. I never had any camera angle problems in it so I assume there will be no camera angle problems in 'Command & Conquer: Generals'.

[Damage Inc 0]

Ummm A is a car and B is a helicopter.

[nordin dk 0]

Yes, in Bizzaro world.

[Damage Inc 0]

Yes I was right! Do I win a prize?
