| TheThunder said: do guys really think Generals was bad !!!! I thought it was great Better than Red Alert 2 in my opinion but I liked BFME II the most it was the closest of ever getting a LOTR game as good as the movies was |
With zero hour it was barely playable, but not only that, it wasn't a command & conquer game anymore than age of empires. They changed everything in that game.. for the worse and the story is completely unrelated to the series in any way.
Ishmael once said how the story was intertwined in their concept. (meaning westwoods)
Red alert 1 - Tiberian Dawn - Tiberian Sun - Tiberian Incoursion
\
Red alert 2
Basically, in red alert 1. ... Our history was seperated from the cnc one by einstein removing hitler. Now what he actually did was removing hitler from that place and creating a alternate timeline because of it.. it had no effect on our own. Meanwhile Kane plotted for the brotherhood of Nod. Aparently Kane was sent to walk earth for all eternity or whatever, a lot of questions still sourround him though, as to how he knew about the scrin, the taticus.. and other relevant questions in the cnc universe. (Time travelling device ala chronosphere is something that some has concidered)
In either case, Kane started building his army unknown to the world and when the tiberium meteor crashed in early 90s, a company named "Nod" was the only one with a compatible harvester able to harvest these tiberium crystals that poisoned the land. Selling machines to Allied nations funded the nod army and soon they rose to oppose the allied nations, whom then formed the global defense initiative as a counter messure (since nod was not a army of a specific country but rather a terrorist organisation with people from many countries acting independently)
.. well i'm going into too many details here, but in tiberian sun, after kane was presumed dead and returned.. well frankly he was once again believed to be dead XD some weird stuff happened after such as cabal and a unity between the AI cabal and kane that EA chose to ignore, i've got no clue what westwoods vision with that exacly was.
After tiberian sun, a aculyte of kanes, named Yuri, travelled back in time to obtain the last remaining psycic suit from red alert 1 (aparently) .. this launched him into a alternate timeline again which spawned red alert 2...
In tiberian incoursion (or twilight as a fan favorate name) there were supposedly a lot of teams, including GDI, Nod, Cabal, Scrin and the Forgotten (mutants who rise up and create their own faction as a response to the harsh conditions on earth and the fact that they were, forgotten by society and left to die...
That is a rough summerization.. and i've left a lot out.. anyways it should give a vague idea ...
And that's why cnc generals is not a cnc game in my and many others opinion :P
