    Why does no one ever point out that this game has one of the crispest rock, paper, scissors systems of any RTS.
    Every unit in the game has some viability, and that is rare. In most C&C games infantry has no use at all. Here combined arms is almost a must.

    You know I understand the whole 'these units look generic' argument.
    But I personally LOVED that they look 'normal' like something you might actually see in real life. I always liked that about C&C.
    Maybe it's just because C&C was what I grew up on (and Red Alert came a little later, along with its wackiness) but, tbh, I'll always miss the pseudo realistic looks of the C&C games. It gave it some life in a way.

    Two big things you missed out on that i think are a great part of the game.
    1 zero hour brings 3 sub sections to each army. You can still pick the normal faction or the sub version. The sub versions are specialised with special units and additional strength and weakness.
    2 i can't recall the name but there's a game mode in zero hour were you go up against the sub fractions. Each leader through the battle will be on the radio mocking the player. The audio for each general is fun. Shout out to the toxic general for the GLA and the airforce guy for the USA.

    • @Generalscorpio
      @Generalscorpio Před 5 lety +42

      "The sub versions are specialised with special units and additional strength and weakness. " - Apart from the Nuke general.
      Tanks lost inferno/ nuke cannons.
      Infantry, airforce, superweapons and stealth all lost tanks.
      Demos lost bioweapons.
      Toxin general lost high explosive weaponry.
      What exactly did the Nuke general gain in terms of weakness?
      His migs did the same damage as normal un-upgraded migs and with the nuke upgrade were a lot more destructive in the short term and left radiation in the long term.
      His tanks started out faster than any other faction's.
      His superweapons were cheaper.
      To my mind the only thing I can think he lost was napalm on the migs but he still had inferno cannons and dragon tanks and this loss isn't really a weakness at all given everything he gains.
      Also it was the 'Generals Challenge' mode and it was awesome, but I'd love to try playing as the boss general, having access to all three superweapons and having your secondary tank be the Paladin sounds like fun.

    Mechanically, still my favorite RTS of all times despite not being a real C&C (of which Tiberian Dawn was the first PC game I ever bought). The balance and pacing is just perfect. I loved to play GLA online; sniping and taking over a Chinese dozer, then immediately ordering a Chinese CC built in the back of my base, finishing it with my workers whilst the dozer was blown up, and eventually rolling out overlord tanks out of my tunnel systems that infested the entire map caused quite some "CHEATER!!!" ragequits.

    Zero hour is a PROPER expansion, gotta love the new units like the stealthy sentry drones, hill climbing combat cycles, and flying overlords aka helixes.

    Loved this game, it was so far ahead of it's time.
    The developers were apparently going to call the GLA Command Centre a Mosque but had to change it to Palace..

    What a game! Clever textures offset blocky graphics, great music, intuitive controls, interesting units and upgrades, and Zero Hour adds introduces asymmetrical specialties... this damn game kicks ass.

    There are TONNNNS of amazing mods for this game, like Shockwave, Contra 009, and Rise of the Reds. You need the Zero Hour expansion (included in the Origin version which is cheap). My favorite is Contra 009, which adds a huggee number of units, powers, superweapons, and UI improvements. Many mods completely change the generals you choose from and even add 3 additional generals.
    Should also the reviewer didn't mention the Generals Challenge mode in the Zero Hour expansion (no one plays the vanilla Generals, which the video somehow thinks matters). Challenge mode is what Generals should have been all along, they were just forced to release early.
    And frankly, most people don't play this game PvP. It's just not as fun that way. Play in Skirmish on a huge map versus several hard opponents, or play the Challenge mode, a pure blast.
    Anyway, long live generals, the best RTS ever made, and by far the best selling game in the entire C&C series!

      @@Real_DMraider For me PvP in Generals was pure micromanagement. But I'm not super competitive. Also, against AI you get to set up kill spots to just chew through enemies. Either way, it's a BLAST!

    Fun fact about the Generals OST. The USA Battle Theme 1, was actually used in U.S. Army recruitment T.V. spots for the next 8 years after this games release. It was also used by the U.S. Navy recruitment advertisements for 2 years after that.

    There are several massive mods for Zero Hour, Shockwave is the best in my opinion as it gives each Zero Hour general a completely unique unit list of wacky new stuff, also updates textures and adds like half a million new maps. Also there is a widescreen patch on ModDB that raises the camera height.
