I just loved that just like Red Alert parodied and made a pantomime of the Cold War, the Generals games did the same for the War on Terror. The GLA were so cartoonish you couldn't take them seriously.
>>249509316
I get the same feeling from the GLA songs.
The moment the guitar kicks in and mixes with the chanting I get pumped.
>>249509325
The GLA was basically "stereotype: the team." Everyone was now that I think of it.
I loved it.

I loved those missions where as the GLA you had a urban area and had to gather crates full of UN money (???), it might've just been me but I used the angry mob unit and I found it hilarious that they would be able to like level cities with AK's and molotovs.

one thing i love about the laser general is how OP the laser turrets are
those things have a range that goes far beyond every other defense in the game, seriously. they have two modes of attack; their main attack which is a powerful burst, and a secondary attack which is a smaller burst that can hit out as far as the fog of war has been exposed
i always used to mass tons of them at the central island place on twilight flame and watch as no aircraft or tank/infantry columns could break past them, they could hit pretty much everything
the only thing they couldn't hit were player-micromanaged rocket buggies, since they could skirt just outside of the boundaries of fire and make a quick retreat.
>>249513924A DAY TO REMEMBER
>>249513685
But RA2 already has enough units. There's so many combinations you can do with just the IFV, or spies or capturing enemy buildings with engineers.
I've played it for years and constantly discovered new stuff.
What a great game, seriously
>>249513685
Precisely why RA2 was best RA .
Yuri was interesting but he was imba as fuck .

I guess as 9/11 and the War on Terror become older and less of an immediate political reality we can look back and see how fucking stupid everything was. And that's what I liked about Generals - it kinda said "the war on terror is fucking stupid, it might as well be a war fought by cartoon characters." That's how I took it anyway.
>>249516210
Hard AI and above did that.
It'd also be impossible to ambush them because they knew regardless and would react instantly.

SWG is stupidly powerful against most of the time but relies completely on a couple of really expensive units surviving in small maps (namely aurora alphas and those laser trucks to defend your turrets from missiles)
SWG is completely useless in large maps because you can't move out of your original base to secure resources. Sure you can make an inpenetrable fortress but you won't be able anything but tickle the enemy with your ion cannon and suicide an alpha now and then.
>>249516642
So you'd have a pretty good death mask then.
>>249516851
IN THE MODERN WORLD GREAT LEADERS SOLVE THEIR CONFLICTS WITH WORDS

Nope. Scud launchers can be fired instantly when they're constructed (which I think actually makes them faster to fire than SWG's ion cannon) and SWG is hilariously fucked when they lose their paper armored power plants or airfields.

Also, did anybody else love Technicals? Aside from having 3 different models for their junk repair ability, they also had three different base vehicles they could be, chosen at random.

It was one of my favourite games growing up, and it made a big impression on me.

EA caught the merger and acquisition bug along with all of the other publishers back in the early 2000's. Before then, they had the sense to just work with good devs. Then they started buying them and couldn't help themselves from shitting the shops up.

It's okay, not too bad but not great.
>game banned in china
>Assume it's about USA liberating the world from arabs and chinese
>Chinese are good guys too
>in ZH they inherit the earth from incompetent USA
>the only bad thing is "propaganda towers"
Was nice to see them portrayed without being demonised.

Fun but not on the same level as RA2.

I never played the expansion much. In the base game they're pretty eh.

I haven't played it butthe premise seems fun. Also George Takei as Emperor of Japan isn't something I could ever hate.

It's the management layer. Goddamn parasites, Dilbert was right.

Wasn't that a glitch that was activated as soon as the Laser turrets attacked anything? I remember feeding my teammate an endless supply of workers he could force-attack just so that his turrets would #rek anything in a 50 mile radius.

It's just technically inferior to modern games .
so many limitations , from unit production to pretty much everything else that prohibits me from enjoying it today.
The RTS genre I am happy to say had the best progression out of all other genres.

The units are fun as fuck to mess around with, especially Japan's Transformers. I adore the special ability mechanic. Naval combat is fun too, and I just love seeing amphibious units transform as they run into the blue.
However, things like the special abilities are very vexing for serious play. Always looking out for a magnetic sattelite is boring.

Unless of course you run into rocket buggies or someone with attack helicopters.

Questionable. Overall fun, but for some reason the fucking Oni Mechas zerg rushed me when you attack the castle. (Russian campaign)

The story and cinematics were great. The forced naval stuff was pic related.
