A reader writes:"Febuary 11th marks the day that the future of the Command and Conquer universe will be determined. Electronic Arts has taken over the franchise and has even shut down Westwood Studios. Many of us will remember Westwood for such games as Dune II. They basically invented the RTS market which makes this a sad time. Electronic Arts today launches what they are hoping will be the WarCraft 3 killa. This game along with SimCity 4 is what EA is counting on. Here is an amazing 430 screenshot pictorial of the Generals single player missions. "

Terrible game. by shaklee · 2003-02-12 04:36 · Score: 1, Troll

I have been a big fan of C&C since the original came out and loaded it on my p90. I was a beta tester for generals and it was a total letdown. They ruined the gameplay by bumping up the graphics and the zoomed in view makes the game a bad experience. I even asked the developers on their forums if I could give away my beta test cd to someone else because I would not play it anymore, they immediately banned me and called me an idiot. This was less than a month ago and the game has not changed much since then.
