@@Outkast-sv9es *Hello, this Huxley*

Particularly the mobile Scud Launcher. That anger (and the irony lol).

I think the part about Crusaders was actually real, there was a real armored vehicle called crusader in development around the time Generals were released. Two differences: 1) it was a self-propelled howitzer, not a tank, 2) it was scrapped due to budget cuts somewhere in 2005. In a sense, Generals are a monument to closed weapon projects: stealth helicopter Comanche makes appearance, Crusaders being actually deployed, and many more stuff that never made it past the prototype stage.

@@quint3ssent1a lots of laser PD and aiming for American forces too

@@quint3ssent1a I also remember there being a YF-12, but I think that MIGHT'VE been a mod.

Actually, it was made by a sizable number of former Westwood devs. Same for Tiberium Wars+Kane's Wrath, as far as I've heard.

@@quint3ssent1a Most of the units the US deployed in Generals was either tech already in use, cutting edge tech that had just hit the scene, prototypes that were later scrapped for budget and common sense reasons (F-117 was discontinued because the F-22 was faster, more maneuverable, packed the same armaments and had only a marginally bigger radar footprint than the F-117 and was cheaper to produce at 22million per plane compared to 35million per plane.) The rest are technology that wasn't developed but was theoretically possible with the tech at the time. Zero Hour was rushed an included even more of these, such as Railgun Artillery, Laser rifles for Rangers and Burton, Laser main guns for Comanches and Paladins. Airforce and Superweapon were intended to have their own (weaker) tanks, but due tot he rush they were never completed, though the assets (audio files, screenshots of development, unused models and icons) were still in the game files. All of the content ZH didn't include was restored in the mod Shockwave, which aimed to be what ZH should have been, and it's glorious.

I make it a point to make it so

By the developers, yes.

@@slayemin no rail gun? No bfg10k?

@@ConradKo Oh, I thought you were asking about C&C Generals : Zero Hour. haha. With Quake3, I primarily used the rocket launch, plasma gun, shot gun, and rail gun. I switched from WASD movement controls to ESDF so that I could keybind my weapons to adjacent key presses, so I could instantly switch to a different weapon by moving a finger to an adjacent key. I think rocket launcher was "R", shotgun was "W", rail gun was "G", plasma was "T", etc. The gun I would use would depend on the situation, usually I initiate with a rocket by shooting a nearby wall or floor, bounce them, get close and use shotgun, and finish them off with plasma rifle. If they are far away, I just rail gun them. I tried to get max armor, max health and quad damage as often as possible so I can one shot a bunch of people. If I saw someone running towards a weapon/health item, I would just shoot rockets at the weapon/item location and they would get blasted away. I won something like 100 to -6, with a flawless victory (zero deaths). They team killed each other on accident a few times and got negative points.

@@thedragontrainer statues is the last mission, I played every single one on brutal and tell ya what, statues was easy because literally any tank rush would immediately destroy the GLA. but this mission? nah, fuck that, you're up against 6 GLA outposts which are heavily defended against Aircraft, impenetrable from land and constantly rush you from all sides, you literally cannot manage fast enough to counter them- the only way I found and was able to beat it with is immediately sending your nukers to the top left corner base and setting up an airfield there, which you can rush the two bases under it from there and then it's easy game but you still have to be on the lookout for the rocket buggies, fuckers can snipe you while you're busy managing a million other things
