I haven't played it yet. Does it compare to the quality of Warcraft III?

[tmax]

i always get nuked...i hate it, everytime i ammas an army the nuke fallas and destrys everything

[Doobz]

In my mind, no RTS compares to Warcraft III at the moment.

Games that have giant weapons that wipe everything off the screen are incredibly annoying

Ok... here I go again...

I like generals:

WC3 = major tactics and limited strategy
Generals = major strategy and limited tactics
*in the true sense of the words*

I did play WC3 for a long time, and it is a good game, but generals is more like starcraft than WC3, ... huge scale battles with 30 tanks and 50 inf per side in large battles, and no RPG elements *didnt like those anyway*

It is much different than any of the other westwood games, and truly is like starcraft in the way that it plays, and the way the units work, and I like battles with more than 3 elves and 2 ents vs 9 spiders


The super weapons:
There are not super weapons in this game, the nuke is about the strength of 2 nukes hitting the same spot in starcraft, if you let your opponent sit back and build up the 5-6 nukes that it takes to destroy 1 base *and arm them*, you deserve to get hit *no offence*, for the same price as 1 nuke, you can build a huge army, or an entire expansion to your base, plus the 5 min it takes to arm. The nuke also only destroys a small area *3 buildings max if you know how to build a base at all*
I am a very good china player, and I never build a nuke unless I have nothing better to do with my money they just are not worth it, I would much rather have a bunch of tanks with some light air cover for the same cost and time to build one nuke.

As a member o fthe CC Generlas Beta team, I must say I completely dislike CC Generals. IT left a BAD taste in my mouth and I refuse to prchase this product.

Why?

Mostly because the way the CC:G beta was conducted, and the balance issues that as far as I know still remain.

[Squeeky]

it sucks

[Maus]

good fun in my opinion, commache rush in first 5 minutes always takes em by suprise =)

if u want a proper strategy/tactical game, get Ground Control, perfectly balanced, v nice. The addons abit iffy tohugh, good story, hilarious balancing.

[MrVulcan]

lol, Comanche rushes, I make sure that I have a few chain gun tanks waiting for those , make about 40% chain gun tanks to 50% battlemaster to 10% overlord

1 chaingun tank can get 2 Comanche, and 3 can take down many many of them

Squeeky: Please state an opinion based on reasons, not just "it sucks", you are just restating what you already said, and giving no reasons for that.

MrVicchio at least said he thought there were major balance issues in the beta, and he is right, but they have done a complete revision of the game since then and fixed most of those issues... dont most betas have major balancing problems? Also keep in mind that many things that look like htose issues are truly our inibality to defend against a type of attack, not the game's balance. Ground Control is balanced because the 2 sids are very similar, the balance in a 3 way is much different. Look at starcraft, every day there were "balance" problems, then the next day it would be countered, and some other area would have "balance" problems. Some people say that the chopers are way to poweful, but try having a couple of chain gun tanks with you, etc. Not saying that there were not those issues in the beta, just stressing that most balance issues in a 3 way stragity game are not always clear.

And sure, it was conducted to fileplanet subscribers, but look at it this way: They are a failing company and beta cds cost lots of money, more bandwidth costs lots of money, or they can give it to fileplanet and let anyone that pays like 6$ have it. Some betas make you pay more than that for jst the cd anyways, I do not see a real problem here.

Generals was aesthetically pleasing, but slim on the fun gameplay. I prefer Warcraft 3 a hell of a lot more, especially with the Frozen Throne expansion (which adds so much to the game).

[MrVicchio]

You really wanna riun the enemies day?

Load two Helos with rangers and land em in thier base.

Taht always fooks em up.

Or as the GLA make a tunnel near em...

Or, Hunker down as the USA, and use Auroras to stike em... that pisses people off.

I never liked WC3, I would LOVE it if I could play it, cant win against anyone. I have read loads of strategy guides and newbie guides! Cant get anywhere, ive also checked around at a forum, people tell me to creep all the time, ALWAYS SCOUT and expand! I just think WHAT THE HELL? How tha hell can it be possible to do all that at the same time, I try to do that but then something goes wrong, its impossible!

I guess C&C is fun, sounds fun as hell, I loved starcraft, but at the minute I tried to play online I got TOTALLY OWNED,
not fun anymore, ive played RTS games all my life but at WC3 I stopped.
