C&C Generals: Rise of the Reds - Comparing Basic Infantry
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- Rise of the Reds or ROTR for short is a massive mod for Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour.
The mod adds 2 brand new factions, the frontal breakthrough focused Russian Federation and the defense-oriented European Continental Alliance or ECA for short.
The mod also vastly revamps the original factions, giving them new units, buildings, upgrades, and more!
Other improvements include a focus on army diversity, a new 2-tier tech system, amphibious capabilities, and more!
Today we will be comparing each faction's basic infantry. These soldiers are the backbones of all 5 factions.
We will be covering their training aspects, weapons, abilities, speed, combat, and more!
I plan on doing more of these for other General's Mods and more units from ROTR.
If you have any suggestions, please comment them below.
Thank you for watching!

Of Course Rangers are the best when faced off against the others (not the most cost efficient nor versatile tho). Despite being their "basic" infantry, Rangers are still special forces. Heck, they even remind the player in one of their quotes saying. "Special forces here" and "Army's elite" when selected.
The conscripts are read as the best and universal
@@Toxic_Man_ early to mid games, yes. But Felin Rifleman with Venom Protocol in late game will beat all infantries in all factions
Conscripts are worse than rebels.
If you think about it this way, it's a bit illogical. Because Russia, as it were, trains them and conducts KMB (Kurs molodogo boyca), and the Rebels are just a peasants who took weapons and, God forbid, know how to use them.
@@user-xg6pi9gx3g Rebels at least have morale and are eager to fight, not to mention being better supplied (weirdly enough) because of the GLA's extensive black market network. While conscripts are just drafted civilians who doesn't wanna be in the field to begin with while having little training (I mean, you can even see in the model of the GLA barracks, they have like a small training course unlike the Russian or any other faction's barracks), not to mention their weapons are just hand me downs and rusted AK's.
@@cleeiii357 That explains everything, but damn. The terrorists have time to train infantry, but the big country does not. Although if they have such problems at the front (according to lore), then this explains everything. And regarding morality, isn't propaganda so strong (on lore) that people almost voluntarily go to the front without anything?
I like how every factions counterparts have special abilities on them, all make them unique.
It's what makes the Command and Conquer franchise so special in my opinion. All the factions feel unique and special
Rise of the reds prides itself with having asymmetric balance at it's core
@@cnclol6745 I dunno, the EU faction seems pretty unbalanced (at least for me)
@@thencrranger5628 they are pretty weak in frontal assaults
@@outlaw8425 well, ECA is a defense oriented faction!
Very nice video ! I realy like how the felin riflemen went to "meh" to "most OP unit" with the venom protocol, I often that one.
Definitely! Top them off with the Starstreak missile launcher and they're incredible.
@@comm1098 they become all counter tier-top unit (counter infantry/vehicle/aircrafts), and if you garrison them, thay become the game into a tower defense XD
ECA is a faction that relies on reaching the end game, and has one of the most powerful field powers a commander can have. Venom protocol literally turns ECA into an Infantry Onslaught faction that spams Felins, Panzerfausts, and medics backed up by Venoms, while Jäger sabotages the enemy's base. Manticore Protocol turns ECA into a defensive tank wall faction, bringing out drones that nullify enemy targeting on tanks around it, and the presence of the Manticore tank alone is very terrifying as it is able to tank golem tanks with ease and heal 3000 HP without even its veterancy. Pandora protocol turns ECA into a superweapon general, adding a neutron bomb railgun tank to their arsenal that can easily destroy defenses and lay deadly traps that completely wipes out enemy forces in a single trigger, but not only that, because it also improves some of the ECA general's support powers, changing smokes into nerve gas and the smart bomb even stronger than before.
I quite like Red Guard bayonet abilities because it can one kill anyone, even Russian Shock Troops
If Tesla Troopers have Tesla guns,thats not an option anymore tho
Never underestimate a pointy stick
Heavy arguing while steel penetrate you.
0:37 "AK-47 Assault Rufle" took me a bit off-guard.
Especially since they actually carry the AK-74, either a typo or an oversight.
I just realized that RotR Rebels are basically RA3 Conscripts, no idea why you needed to know this
What do you mean? The Molotovs?
03:53 Does anyone notice that the model for the Felin Rifleman's "HKFN-22" is an HK G11, an assault rifle that is noted for its use of caseless ammunition?
with their names, i am surprised that devs didnt go with the obvious approach and didnt give them FAMASes
If you zoom in on the model of an ECA fighter, you can see that his weapon is somewhat similar to the G-11, but when they fire, it seemed to me that the magazine and receiver were from P-90, and barrel from G-11 .
@@ToriusHeart "With the 1970s FAMAS rifle starting to show its age, a new replacement was found in the form of the HKFN-22, a cooperative design by German and Belgian manufacturers that married the compact space age frame of the cancelled G11 rifle with a powered up version of the armour-piercing 5.7mm cartridge used in the P90 PDW." - ROTR Wiki
I love how most of the nations have star while the GLA don't
They have swords instead.
@@skippythescout5446 and more swords and daggers and other sharp stuff
Hey I never noticed that! come to think of it, I think the round thing at the center of their flag is actually the moon. The moon is big on Muslim-Arab culture.
@@minerdalta it's the Crescent to be particular
Conscript is the best unit, just riding them on anything and upgrading the nvg is useful.
I like the fact that Russian infantry can take care of themselves (not only conscripts), you just need to give them first aid kits and not worry about their HP.
very good video! I'm so happy to see the Hotkeys being displayed :) Thats such useful information.
Neatly made.
My suggestion is that you could use a brighter fot for Russia, the current color is barely readable especially on mobile.
I love your style of videos, you got massive potentional for other game investigations.
Great work on this video, really got all the information and some great tests too.
Dude, your videos are so cool, infomative and enjoyable, 234/10
Oooooh yeah, that freedom fighters music. That plus C&C generals means this guy knows about good games!
This is amazing! I love this. You earned yourself a subscriber, Commander!
Suggestion: Compare all 5 of the faction's power generators (E.g: Cold Fusion vs Nuclear Reactor vs Solar Reactor vs Coal Power Plant. Also I meant 4 since the GLA buildings don't require energy)
They have a special feature afaik
That capturing an enemy power plant speeds up unit production by a fix percentage
@@ninovalenzuela1019 intresting I didn't know that existed. Thanks for letting me know!
@@kairosdoe386 its been that way since the base game :v gla if given power is just them spitting everything out like a factory
Yo great video my man. I play command and conquer all the time and understand everything in this video. Kisses.
I started binge watching your vids man!
Note: I hope you review the units again but with the usa having the strategy center plan up.
Also, I hope you can review all of the faction's light machine gun vehicles
I thank you for analyzing the units. Venom Protocol is great for the ECA.
The USA rangers were absolutely beast mode in this.
I never knew shock troopers will blast their own heads if you keep throwing flashbang to them
Damm it’s just messed up
Love this vid and the game
Omg the soundtrack is from WarGames 1998 ! That reminded me of old days..
Yes, I believe the modders recycled it for use as ECA's soundtrack.
Really glad, a game that was released in 2003 still have players in these times.
can we get main attack helos comparison next (RU Hind, US Commanche, ECA Tiger, etc) as well other helos too?
One day I took a challenge to press "F" every time when conscript die...
and now my keyboard is not working
Will you do epic units as well ? I would love to see just how many units can single veteran Blackbear take head on, and still win.
Maybe you can make a basic aircraft comparation
1:10 for a moment i thought he said "conscript ready to die" instead of "conscript ready to fight" 😬
unsurprising though, considering how they're fielded & treated
Does ranger’s Flashbang still clear garrisons and GLA’s defense structure? Or it is replaced with Green Beret’s grenade launcher?
1:22 Russian conscripts are armed with AK-74s and not AK-47s
And despite the rifle supposedly being an upgrade over the GLA’s old 47s, the Rebel wins the 1v1 lmfao
@@sirdickkickerthefirst9611 balance reasons also most AKs IRL are actually AK 74s
@@forickgrimaldus8301 Actually, as far as I know, though feel free to correct me on this, the majority of the rifles the Old Union exported to countries all over the world weren't 74s, but rather the AK, which was a minor improvement over the 47.
@@forickgrimaldus8301 Well according to the canon, those conscripts are called to the glory of their homeland who have no experience of war! Most of the time they only have basic training and team work (just like Putin's Russia XD!
@@sirdickkickerthefirst9611 The rebels are people trained in guerrilla warfare, it is also said that among them there are those who participated in the last war
Huh... I thought the price affect the build time
Guess i'm wrong all this time lol, thanks anyway
Rise of the Reds is better than Generals 2, in my opinion. Infact it should be the appropriate sequel.
I like seeing the EU being reformed to a better version of it and have Russia being a faction in this game as the new main antagonist (since the GLA is now reduced to Central Africa, preferably DR Congo)
Better version of the EU you do understand the EU in this have lowkey fascist tendency right?
@@LunaPPK He prob is a fan of that.
and also making the USA faction return in rotr is also the reason why the mod is better
Can you compare Infantry Fighting Vehicles? For all of the factions*
Fam, can you do a video comparison of all light AA units
how do i get these upgrades - I'm playing CC on origin using Porting kit - thanks
The mod is cool, just like the Shockwave mod. But unfortunately the developers really like to stray in that territory of making units unique and flashy. Which gameplay wise just adds unnecessary complexity. As cool as it is, more doesn’t translate to better.
The game would benefit more from improvements in unit behavior, like prioritizing different unit types when attacking or automatically using the most effective weapon for the right situations.
Of course both mods are still exceptionally well made and add a lot of depth to the game.
ถ้าถามถึงรัสเซียในยุคปัจจุบันนี้เขาจะใช้ akm ไม่ก็ปืน ak74 ที่ใช้เทคโนโลยียุคปัจจุบันน่ะ แต่การใช้ รุ่น 47 นี่มันก็ถือว่าเป็นเรื่องปกติ
ถ้าเป็นกองทัพจีนในยุคปัจจุบันเขาเลิกใช้ปืนรุ่น type 56 แล้วนะ แต่จะใช้ปืนที่เรียกว่าอ้างอิงหรือพยายามอ้างอิงมาจากชาติตะวันตกคือต้องคำถามเข้าใจนะว่านโยบายของสีจิ้นผิงก็คือการทำให้กองทัพของประเทศมีความทันสมัย ซึ่งต้องรอจนถึงครึ่งศตวรรษของพวกเขาจะทันสมัย
Idk how this ended up in my recommendations
Could you do basic anti vechile infantry?
Scout Ranger
Well, waiting for basic and advanced arty
Also, good idea for heroes
Conscript uses AK-74 not AK-47
10:04 What was happening in the background? Something fighting offscreen. 😂
I have some scripts tied to unit health. So I have action going on in the background lol.
4:21 I repeat Conscripts are armed with AK-74! AK-47 and AK-74 are different things!
Hey , I only played the game wich has gla, china and America only, the two other factions were not presented in it
This is original it was just a fan modification
please can anyone tell me how to buy cnc generals digitally as well as cnc4 im tryna recover those rts games but the only ones i managed to find were cnc3 red alert and cnc3 KW on steam
CNC 4 appears on the origin store but the buy button is bugged and does nothing...
The only way was purchasing the Ultimate Collection thru Origin. EA however is scrapping Origin for its new EA App. It should be on the new EA app but they are in the middle of porting everything over, so it might be incomplete currently.
If this is an option, I would recommend looking for a used copy of The First Decade. It has all the C&C's you're looking for without the hassle of dealing with EA's new software.
@@comm1098 didnt see you responded but thanks though, as for the copy my pc doesnt read disks so im restrained to digital only on that one :(
I good news for you Generals is now on Steam.😁
@@General-F yesss lest go tu man
Where can I get this game ????
Wish I could get this mod for Generals hahaha 😂👌 but I don't know how to haha.
European faction has the most cringe. Like every units needs to have an over exaggerated voice to clearly tell you what country they're from.
Edit: if you didn't know, the music comes from the game Freedom Fighters for the PS2. Such a good game and I wished they had a sequel.
Well you aren't going to find the best voice actors when you're a modder, unless you're a good voice actor yourself.
It's exaggerated voice is what makes the ECA so great
AT/AA infantry when?
Working on light AA vehicles right now!
Red Infantry
Conscript Infantry
Rebel Infantry
ให้ทายนะตัวทหารรัสเซียทั้งหมดนี่ใช้เสียงจากเกม red alert แต่ดัดแปลงใช่ไหม
Before they got a voice actor to record lines for the conscript, the mod used voice files from Red Alert 3. Same goes for the Sentinel Tank, which used lines from the Apocalypse tank.
Rangers lead the way
Ranger S rank
What version of rotr are you on?
1.87
@@comm1098 thank you :)
CAT Infantry
We all know that Ranger is the most annoying unit. Flashbangs is one reason.
moddb link is broken me thinks
Fixed it. Try now.
@@comm1098 nice, much appreciated
Author, for you, any machine gun that looks like an AK is an AK-47?
If the homeless from the GLA may still have these same 47s, then in the Russian army to find the AK of the 47 sample (although actually the 49th year, because the 47 sample did not pass the competition and was sent for revision, which in 49th and finished), you will have to try hard, because they are all on in storage, or sold to neighboring countries (and those have already sold them to some kind of whips themselves, or, again, they have been mothballed).The RA soldiers themselves armed with an AK-74s even since Soviet times.
Hell, even on the ROTR Fandom wiki for people like you, it says that Russian conscripts are armed with AK-74! * AK-74*, Karl!
Тоже самое я говорил
But Russian conscripts are considered one of the best infantry in the game and the very best base infantry!How strong is the Russian infantry? Cheap scouts! Spam and camaraderie!
Every factions have a star but GLA
M16a5 = 😂😂
