GameSpot has posted promised preview of Command & Conquer: Generals
(now "only" 9 pages long), the upcoming 3D RTS game that takes place in the
not-so-distant future - it's based on brand-new storyline that pits three sides (the US,
China, and a terrorist group known as the Global Liberation Army) against each other; and
it's being developed by the team that made Red Alert 2 and its subsequent expansion pack,
Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge. Unfortunately Command & Conquer: Generals is
still relatively early in its development cycle and isn't even scheduled for completion
until around October/November of this year. Well, we must be patient :) Here is a snip
from the preview:
And so begins the single-player campaign in Command & Conquer: Generals. The game is split up into 30 missions, 10 for each of three sides. The game will give you the opportunity to play as any of the three sides at the outset, though the default order will be China, then the GLA, and finally the United States. While details about the individual missions are still in the works, we do know that the overall objective of the Chinese campaign will be to gradually overrun all the GLA cells within China and eventually push them completely into neighboring countries. Naturally, the terrorists are not too happy about being kicked out of what they feel is their homeland, so as the GLA, your objective will be to exact a little revenge. Skaggs elaborated further on the GLA campaign: "These guys will obviously be a little pissed, but they've got cells all over the world that they'll be activating. They're also working on a really nasty sort of biochemical warhead that they start testing out in various countries, including China." Naturally, this captures the attention of the rest of the world, which quickly denounces the GLA. In response, the GLA sets off one of its biochemical warheads in Europe and launches another one at the United States. |
