Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I was scrolling through the Generals section of the command and conquer website, and I found this. "[b]Maximum Destructive Capability[/b] - Assemble your war machine with top-secret Aurora Strike Fighters, massive Paladin Battle Tanks, Angry Mobs, skilled Hackers and over 60 other distinct units. Bring death from above with your side’s exclusive super weapon – the US Air Fuel Bomb, the Chinese Nuclear Missile, or the GLA Scud Storm." "Bring death from above with your side’s exclusive super weapon – the US Air Fuel Bomb, the Chinese Nuclear Missile, or the GLA Scud Storm." "the US Air Fuel Bomb, the Chinese Nuclear Missile, or the GLA Scud Storm." "the US Air Fuel Bomb" WAT. Oh, so, instead of choosing the PARTICLE UPLINK CANNON that fires a HUGE BLUE LASER OF DEATH into space that BOUNCES OFF OF A SATELLITE HITTING ANYWHERE ON THAT SIDE OF THE PLANET, you choose a FUEL AIR BOMB. DEEEEERP. Anyway, it's basically an RTS game based around a little bit into the future. It's mostly modern, is fun, and has a kickass soundtrack. What's not to love? Discuss if you want.

ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 ah yes, this was one of the older games I have you played Generals: Zero Hour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah, the disc I have is the Deluxe edition. Both Generals and Zero Hour on 1 disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 lucky you, I had buy them separately anyways, I still liked used GLA a lot, I just wished they had airpower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I prefer the good ole', US of A. What's your Favorite General from Zero Hour? For me, Laser General. His base defenses are almost untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 that guy? His defenses are pathetic. All you have to do is Scud Storm the power grid and they all power down I preferred Dr. Thrax better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 This is why you don't do what I used to do, which was cluster my Cold Fusion Reactors together. Besides, he's not all Defense. He has pretty strong offensive units as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 his laser tanks ALSO require power. Besides, the GLA Quad Cannons are cheaper. Just upgrade them with the Junk Repair, Armor Piercing Bullets and you can steamroll right over him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 It all depends on the tactics the General employs. Human player ≠ Computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 yeah and that's the problem when challenging the laser general AI, he keeps the reactors all clumped together For me, I spread ALL my buildings apart. That way, a GLA player can't level my whole base with a Scud Storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 My brother loves taking his buildings, applying the cloak upgrade, and placing them all throughout the map, never having more than MAYBE 2 buildings in one spot. When I watch him play, it's hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 ah yes, I remember that too well I usually don't play too much with the cloak upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 For me, my favorite thing to do while playing is to goof around in the campaign. SO MUCH FUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 same here to an extent I prefer using mass angry mobs with the AK-47 upgrade and burning buildings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'll just tsake my forces and cripple structures, either ending with them completely destroyed or damaged. Then I'll just patrol my units through the streets. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 figures I also take a lot of tanks and run over civilians with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I do less of that. I'm more of a totalitarian commander who is not blood thirsty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I prefer calling it a matter of "kill the civilians so the GLA can't recruit them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 That's like saying "I'm killing all the civilians in the city so that the enemy won't be able to kill them." Anyway, like's talk about soundtrack. The Generals them is BA. Any objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I actually don't pay attention to the soundtrack As for the quote you just mentioned earlier, I suggest you remember American General Patton's quote: "War is a brutal business. It takes a brutal man to wage and direct war." Therefore, you have to BECOME the monster in warfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I understand, but rather than killing, you could just quarantine. This way, at least they escape with their lives. Also, SHUUUUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 anyways, I was never really happy they didn't put that one GLA general up for you to challenge, the one that always used explosives Where the cycles come with suicide bombers aboard. Those would have been REALLY hard to stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Gotta love the fact that the troops are interchangeable for the bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 yeah I really liked that always switch them with RPG troopers for rocket cycles. Made killing tanks much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Also useful for easy Worker transit. Tanks coming after your workers? Nope. MOTORCYCLES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
