From the article: "You will also see a major enhancement to the Sage graphics engine we originally created for Command & Conquer Generals. Expect us to leverage and continue to evolve this powerful engine as we start work on our new Command & Conquer game."

Did you actually play the single-player game?

Or just read a fan fiction based on the game? There was NO storyline (other than a few paragraphs of background information) and the graphics caused the game to crawl to a halt on anything that was high-end when it was first launched, with Halo and Doom 3 being the only games to claim that. I remember reading how C&C:Generals was SUPPOSED to have a huge complex story that eventually got cut out.

Supposedly the storyline involved China becoming a military power after the fall of the Soviet Union complete with nukes but after the first mission in the Chinese campaign in the game (the GLA nuke Beijing) they get involved (not suprising at all). The U.S.A. went isolationist again after Afghanistan but was attacked by the GLA with a giant ballistic chemical missle which they shot down using the Particle Beam (which is their superweapon in the game, think the Star Wars program). And the GLA is just a name for any major terrorist group in the world but their biggest claim is hitting Japan, Russia and Europe with giant biologically loaded ballistic missles. Sound cool? Too bad you don't see this in the game.
