If these suck, bite me. When the action gets going and the game gets incredible, I'm too busy playing to remember to take a screenshot

All these are linked, 'cuz they're huge pictures.

First, I present the story of the SUICYCLES!

http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot1.jpg

Six little suicide terrorists on bikes What happens next? They find a base...

http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot2.jpg

And do what they do best!

Then I send in a few anti-infantry units to do the rest.

http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot12.jpg


NEXT! The story of how Prince Kassad's stealthed units and buildings did him JACK FUCKING SHIT.

Before : http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot13.jpg (Do you know how hard it is to get a good screenshot of buildings that flicker in and out even when not stealthed? Pain in the ass).

After! The blue shit is anthrax beta, really powerful anthrax toxins http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot14.jpg
If you look at the top, the trucks with the long groove down the middle? Those are my SCUD launchers

Before : http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot15.jpg

After : http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot16.jpg

Lastly, in one of the GLA missions, you immediately seize a chinese and american base, letting you build units, structures, and superweapons from all three. Here's a few shots.

For those who never played the original C&C:Generals, a few shots of the SCUD superweapon in action.

http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/sshot19.jpg

The green stuff on the ground is Anthrax - just regular anthrax. Not as strong as beta, but still lethal as hell.

Finally, the american base met its end - to a SCUD launcher / Nuke Missile (The orange stuff is radiation) combo.

Also, during that mission, I had the best damn tactic ever. Loading 10 Overlord tanks, 5 with gatlings and 5 with prop towers, into a Sneak Attack tunnel, and dumping them ALL behind enemy lines. Sadly, I was too busy laughing like a maniac at the resulting carnage, to get good screenshots

To start : A nuclear cutscene

Missile is ready... FIRE!

I love the brightly glowing orange of a radioactive crater that USED to be a GLA base
http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/screenshot006.jpg


Next, a demonstration of the beautiful new gunship, the HELIX. The overlord of the air. It can house a propoganda tower (the red circles - they heal anyone nearby and give bonuses to infantry fighting), a gatling cannon, or a bunker (Fill it with RPG troopers, and your Helix is an anti-tank weapon). And for use against buildings... NAPALM BOMBS.

REALLY love them!

Next, the new Chinese general ability, the Carpet Bomb. It's from Generals, the plane and effect is, but let's repost for those who haven't PLAYED generals

Weird... mine installed perfectly first try. Try removing Generals and ZH, and reinstalling both.

It's the expansion to Command and Conquer : Generals, and it has good multiplayer. It's essentially just another RTS like WC3 or whatever.

I have. Tried everything on the main site that there was 10 minutes ago. I'm gonna contact Gamestop, spot, whatever the site that sent out the preorders is and see if'n I can't get a replacement.

The results of getting bunker busters scared the hell out of me. I'm watching and the explosions stop and I scroll away and I hear the busters going off and I'm thinking "Crap! They're shootig my stealth fighters down!"

I also noticed they fixed some of the graphics to look better, ie the parachutes, a few of the troops, that kinda stuff.

As another note, fire bases are superior to patriots in every way but the fact that they take up more room.

Edit: There's a bug with the Paladin, it won't show the hellfire drone in it's "these upgrades have been purchased" area.

As much as I love China, I hate how they don't get an ability to see part of the map without either A) Sending a unit there, or B) Getting the sattelite hack.

US rules 'cuz when you start, you can get the spy drones, and drop 'em EVERYWHERE on the map... free intelligence.

Anyways, I did take a few US screenshots. Mostly 'cuz I wanted to show Vorago the Fuel Air bomb.

Anyways...

First, the fuel air bomb. Target...

http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/ss01.jpg

Plane flies over, cargo bay doors open...

http://users.sisna.com/panuk10/ss02.jpg

Bomb drops... fuel sprays out everywhere... ignites, and BOOM. End of line.

This attack can also be upgraded to the MOAB - Massive Ordinance Air Burst, or Mother of all Bombs, whichever you want. This one is cooler, IMO, 'cuz instead of a cargo plane, you get a massive stealth bomber. In the third picture, the bomb is kinda hard to spot, it's the grey metallic object above the tank, in front of the infantryman.

Sorry the picture looks so 'high'. It looked better in the game, but for some reason the screenshot was weird.

Lastly, are the bunker busters. To get these, you hafta spend the general point and get Stealth Fighters. Once you have the stealth fighters, you buy the upgrade at the air field. Normally, stealth fighters just fire two missiles then go home. If you have the BB upgrade, after those stealth fighters fire the missiles...

The ground explodes. It doesn't deal any damage to people above ground (Though it pushes 'em out, and in the case of vehicles, launches 'em into the air), but if it hits a tunnel network or garrisoned structure, it kills everyone inside, just like the dragon tank or the toxin tractor.

ACES! Another post by Jargum:

Not true! Fire Bases are only good against air when you have RPG troops in them, and even then, the troops are vulnerable to toxins, fire, neutron blasts, etc.

I find that I like the patriots better, with a pathfinder or two standing around to pop off any infantry the patriots have troubles hitting.

I'm starting to love playing as General Townes - the laser turrets are the best

Too bad the Laser Tanks bite, and the lack of tomahawks means you have to rely on Aurora's and superweapons to do any sort of long-range attack...

General Alexis is fun to play as, though. Two particle cannons for the price of one

All times are US/Eastern
