C&C: Generals, any good?

[MonkChiefa]

I was thinking about purchasing this game and was wanting to hear the publics opinions about it.....Pros and Cons.

[Nuclear Krusader]

I'm interested too. I hope this game lives up to the expectations not like Unreal 2.

p4 2.4
256 pc800 rdram
gainward geforce 4 ti4200

My computer is constantly thinking playing the game, it was soo annoying that i uninstalled it and gave up. why?

[Nuclear Krusader]

What are the requeriments for that game?

[southrk]

The game is awesome, best cc game so far and the best game out right now imho (besides BF1942 of course). Runs flawless on my system with full graphics. Must be that P4 jeff

I bet its your ram. But, I have been wrong before.

online is a nightmare though.. i believe i've played 5 games since the game officially came out... you either can't get into the game room or when you finally can after literally 30 tries 99.9% of the time it'll say you can't connect to the other players an dyou are back to square one.. And I have a router so its even worse for me because for some reason game companies don't want to take the extra time for those of us with routers to code some way to let us host games.. the games don't like how are inside ip and outside ip are diff (inside ip: what your router gives to you ex 192.168.1.103 and outside: your dsl/cable modem) basically all games wont' let you host because its too "confusing" to go to the outside ip then take that into the inside ip... its so stupid that us who actually have the better setup get the bad end...

it would be nice if they could find a better way around the router situation, but it takes a whole 5 seconds to forward a port to the outside.

[esemte]

doesnt the game Recommend 1.8 Ghz?? (not minimum requirements)

[Jeff Roy]

when i first originally played the game i had 256mb of rdram then i bought 256 more so im at 512, now the game runs smoooooooth!

[i3OSS]

yea, its probably ram, and yes i heard it was good.

[ammo]

I just bought that game and I can't even play it. Make sure you have at least a 64MB video card. I only have a 32MB and the graphics don't even show up. I am really mad so I'm building a better PC right now.

my system runs it like a charm, hardly ever if ever slows down or anything, settings totally maxed, even when im hosting a 3 way multiplayer.
My brother also experiences very little slowdown and hes on a PIII 1Ghz with 256MB PC133 and a GF2 MX400, dont know whats up with your PC, but it should work fine

The game is as good as it looks in all the magazines, if not better, the new battle system is very good, and you seem to have a lot more control, the one thing i hate though, is that when you are trying to select everyone with a box, the box doesnt stick to the first polace you click like on RA2, if you go off the shown area, the box follows you. its a bit of a pain, but you get used to it

As for internet gaming with routers-- Couldnt you just set up the DMZ host on the router for the LAN IP that you have? Just an idea

[FantasySoul]

Personally I would look to the gameplay as primary and the graphics as the later.
Like the WC3,it was superbly a job well done by Blizzard where the teams control was easyly done.Each unit was quite tough unlike the old Red Alert2.....u got all ur mens fall down in just few secs in the battlefield. I guess this game was just like RA2.
