awesome add-on at that
turns a great game into a awesome game!!!

command an conquer generals
is the game this expanstion is for---get the deluxe version of generals.
oh, this expantion adds countless new units to your aursinal. even new Generals,
i am a very good player, an with all armies on hard--I still would win in red alert 2-
this game give you a chance to have more than just 3 contenders, the expanstion pack gives these contenders new brains, an new tallents, make the game a whole new war game
even tho, when you play this game
it dont feel like just a game.
its that RAD!!!

Awesome game... if you're an idiot.

This goes to show you, if you buy an older game, you are most likely going to be astonished by how bad they can be. Not that Generals is a total loss, but if you want anything close to a thinking strategy game, look someplace else. The campaign mode is tedious and the solo player skirmishes are basically nothing more than a `see who can build their stuff first' race. I guess this is realistic though, since most of the military conflicts in history consisted of both sides trying to build a full military base while the enemy is sending in tanks. What makes it worse is the suicidal mentality of your army's AI. Many a time will you lose your builder trucks simply because they either just sit there when being attacked or decide to rush into the middle of a battle to fix a structure even though the structure automatically fixes itself. The only warning you get is an almost subliminal alarm that goes of a thousand times per minute and quickly becomes no more than part of the overall din of battle. I can't imagine these flaws couldn't have been fixed relatively easily by simply making a timer before any attacks and being able to set a checkpoint for non-combat units that are under fire. However, if you are dedicated enough to work through the first half of a skirmish, you will be rewarded by fighting an enemy that completely gives up in the second half, save for small waves of assaults that mysteriously become only a fraction of the original efforts. I can't see much improvement over the original Red Alert games that preceded Generals. The graphics aren't much better, the AI is equally as autistic and strategy is pretty much the same. On a positive note, the game does add some good units, like the combat Chinook and sniper. But overall, if you were frustrated by the Bozo the Clown mentality of the early Command and Conquer games, you will be equally dismayed by the exact same stuff here.

Worth having, i know..

I had generals with this zero hour expansion but for some reason my zero hour disc disappeared. Maybe my 2 year old son put it in the trash i don't know but the point is that for a while i was forced to play regular generals after having the expansion and it was quite a change.

Part of the reason zero hour is such a nice addition is that generals originally was limited in some areas. China for example had only one air unit the meig. Zero hour adds a helicopter with multiple upgrade options. The USA used to have one defensive structure the patriot. Zero hour adds a cannon that can hold 4 infantry to beef up the fire power. Zero hour also adds many fine large maps of which generals has few. I'm talking about the 6 and 8 player maps that are great for long time epic wars with a buddy or 2 or 3.

The greatest feature zero hour gives you aside from the obvious additional missions are the more specialized militarys you can play with. Aside from the three main ones USA, China and the sneaky GLA you can now fight with USA airforce a specialized version or GLA chemical, or china infantry or tank. there are three specialized militaries of each; this increases your options from 3 militarys to choose from to 12. It opens up so many strategic possibilities because if you are the airforce specialization of the USA for example that means that while your air units are cheaper your ground units might be more expensive and heavy tanks are not available at all. It just gives you options and that is what we all want.

For those who like to play single player zero hour gives you an extra general's challenge campaign in which you take one specialized military and try to beat all the other 8 specialized militaries(generals) one at a time. Each matchup is fought on a map well suited to your opponent and takes on qualities of both a skirmish and a mission. Once you defeat one you move to the next and at the hardest level it is a chore. Many of the maps for the general's challenge are interesting but unfortunately not available for multiplayer.

Overall this is a great addition to a great game. As usual, always a command and conquer product that is solid all around. No other RTS series delivers such quality time and time again. I have all the C&C games except renegade and all are 5 star quality.

Great Game

C&C Generals is not complete without the expansion pack.All the cool new units,how detailed the vehicles are,but I would sure like if there were naval units to move around.Naval units only come in the campaign and all you can do is call artillery strikes and aircraft.Even some river boats would be nice.I like the fact your rotate buildings io fit where you want them.When I first got the expansion,I played for hours,more than I played with just plain C&C Generals.If you are ok at strategy games,I recommend putting the difficulty on medium.On easy,you can destroy your enemies with just ten tanks.On hard,you need to start building right away or the enemy will attack 5 minutes in the game.Overall,this is the tightest modern strategy game ever!

I love this game

I have played generals most of my online times and i dont mind if I am one of the only few who plays this games in the cafe but despite it all i never lose a game of generals.
If you discribe you're self as the future leader of you're country or a phycho leader ready to declear war and then conquer the world and is the best in the class but the most hated person in the class and manages to beat ever one then this is the game for you.
But a warning to all of you gamers of this game. Do not get addicted because this could drive any person crazy. But believe me when i say that this is one of the greatest games i have even played in my intire life.
