That Dr.Trax is the best General.

Thrax sucks, Super weapon is a close contender in the "worst general series". Bring on the Infantry General.

I'm glad people are finally starting to realize Generals and ZH were some of the best C&C's :)

What? Generals and ZH have ALWAYS been regarded as good C&C games.
To my standards, even C&C3 is a good game.
>>322332823
>even C&C3 is a good game
C&C3 and its expansion were great in my opinion. I couldn't really like RA3 too much though, but the soundtrack was awesome. We don't talk about the other one.

>>322333234
>dies from the impact
wait that happens?
>>322336584
it does
Generals' physics is a thing of beauty
>>322336584
Bunker busters in Zero Hour are weird. I don't recall the additional blast effect doing any actual busting damage to buildings and units but it sends people and tanks flying and that kills.
>>322336778
Yes it only is an instantkill to units inside buildings but I just dont remember physics allowing you to kill things. I only remember that with heavy explosions you could make turrets from destroyed tanks fly up for miles, not do damage
>>322336906
In vanilla generals one flashbang from a Ranger could clear any building, but in Zero Hour you could send four F-117s to clear out a building and all of the people inside may NOT be killed.
I bet it does fixed HP damage to units inside structures and under tunnel networks, so veteran units that can self-heal, and tunnel network occupants (which heal because tunnel networks heal units) may survive.Urge to reinstall rising.
>>322337283
In vanilla every building clearing attack (microwave gun, flashbang, etc) instantly cleared out the building. Which was pretty hilarious because you could just shoot a microwave ray at it for 1 millisecond and the building would just blow the guys out of the window. Glad they changed it because it was stupid
i'm trying to figure out why i didn't put that much time into Generals. i think the shit storylines underwhelmed me.
you can't do much creatively with a game like Generals because it's trying to adhere to modern reality.
>>322337438
The best building clearing action in a game I've seen is Act of War and Act of aggression.
You just send your infantry in there to storm the building.
>>322332158
Reload! Reload!
>>322331682
holy shit git gud
>using anything other than GLA and GLA variants
>>322337839
The campaign was really fun because of the over the top super evil terrorists. Then they turned out to be mild when the real ISIS came up.
>>322338579
Company of heroes also has decent building combat. Units inside a building have a lot more health but attacking it with smallarms fire will still hurt them a bit. You can use a sniper to instantly kill one guy in the building. Flamethrowers do extreme damage and do massive damage to buildings. Explosives (tank shells, grenades) do decent damage to the building and also usually take out one or two guys. If you throw a grenade at the side the guys inside shoot from the grenade also deals more damage since they are closer to the blast. Also if there was a heavy machine gun inside you could use one squad to draw fire and then let a clearing squad (flamer, grenade) get close to flush them out.
Also fun was throwing a grenade just at the entrance. The enemy would see you throwing a grenade and command the guys to get out. When they are all clumped up at the entrance the grenade goes off and you could wipe out a whole squad in one go.
Dat's a good plan, genelal.

EA and Westwood had real visionaries back in 2001, is what I can see.
I bet EA today if they still have their employees from 2001, knows what will happen in the next 20 years.
Its like being asked by a teacher how do you see yourself in 10 years time, but EA can answer it with precision. At least the EA staff of old could.
>>322340024
Dude who looks like he should be making shitty middle eastern music videos instead of leading an army.
>>322339782
there are now some people making sidenotes that the backup tests that were the ones that blew the experiment off were not properly conducted and even in the reports they have some doubts. Also there are some other people trying it after that that find interesting results. But coming out to say you accept cold fusion brands you as a retard. Same earl on the nuclear experiments where they managed to change one element into another. First they wondered if they should publish because that would make them look like lunatic alchemists

>>322340838
I cannot find it, but there was a good article on just how bad everything was in that game. Damages were wrong, balance was wrong and everything just sucked and didn't feel good.
It said things like a few basic tanks could destrory big heavy tanks because the damages were fucked. Like a heavy tank would shoot 2 fucking huge explosive shots and they owuld do no damage. There was no reason for anyone to build anything other then average units because everything else did the same thing and costed to much.
>>322340838
Didn't they backpeddle on the free-to-play thing, and went back to making a regular game?
Only plebs specialize. No general is best general

I can't remember something, did the propaganda upgrade allow them to detect stealth?
>>322342164
Yes, propaganda tower allows stealth detection and heals nearby units.
>>322341908
Wouldn't that mean Nuke Cannons could take down Emperor Overlords as well?
>>322341908
Hijackers are stealthed, Emperors cannot into detection.
>>322341908
They were also super slow. If you have a map with chokepoints you HAVE to go through, it doesn't matter how many of them you send through it.
>>322342308
Yes but you need time to deploy nuke canons.
And with http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Nuclear_tanks you don't have time anymore.
>>322342346
>Emperors cannot into detection.
>>322342260
>>322342260
Shit yeah I forget how OP China Tanks emperors are.
I remember now the only effective way to kill them was long range or snipe em with Jamel Kell. But I do remember that there shots can be a little slow so if they aren't in a horde aircraft hit and runs can wreck them. Also Bomb trucks can get closer enough to destroy them because the stealth detection of the Propaganda tower was small.

>>322344143

Is the gattling, like the defense structure
>>322343634
me as well
>>322344795
What?
Why would the gattling cannon give stealth detection?
It isn't like a defense unit if that is what you are thinking, just a turret that looks like it.
The propaganda waves always have detected stealth, it works for the helix upgrade to.

Why the hell are you dumping the failure of that one on EA?
It's the devs' fault the game was shit, not EA's.
EA are no puppies but they poured a triple budget into this game and only cut it short after it failed the third time over.
That's fucking unprecedented and was only possible because the CEO of EA at the time was a massive C&C fan or so I've been told.
Blame them for the atrocity that is Maxis' later works, C&C 4 or the downfall of BF/NFS but this game didn't die because of their dickery.
