CNC Generals

I am rather jealous. Was a big fan of C&C Tiberian Dawn and have been drooling over the C&C Generals screenshots. My favourite was the Mammoth tanks. Used to pump them out then go for a Sunday ramble over to the enemies base. Ahh, they rocked. The Overlords similar or even better?

Absoutely love this game:cool: And while the overlords are awesome, a sneaky GLA tunnel near the enemy base combined with a handful of scuds, makes for some exciting fun;) - It's too easy to build "superweapons" now. My brother seems to enjoy building 8 nuke silos and launching them all at once:eek: There should be an option to turn it off like in RA2. Superweapons ruin strategy:(

How come you're not playing the game? Too much work or isn't it out there yet? and YES, the overlord tanks are much, much better than the mammoths:cool: Notorious SMC

I think they give a certain adrenaline rush to the game when someone launches a superweapon ;) And IMHO, the superweapons aren't that powerfull. BTW, If your opponent has the chance to stockpile 8 nuke silos, you have to be doing something wrong ;P Notorious SMC

I just hate having to keep an eye on groups of troops or else they be obliterated in one shot:mad:

I think it is still in development, unfortunately.
