Command & Conquer: Generals

Take part in World War III and choose a side to fight for in the real-time Command & Conquer: Generals military strategy game. Win battles and save the world from total annihilation in a battle of three of the strongest military centers in the world.

Explosions, but not from fireworks

The infamous year two thousand and twentieth turns out to be the year the new World War began. In China's capital, Beijing, a celebratory parade takes place. However, instead of the pride of the Chinese nation - fireworks - explosions erupted over the capital. This was the gift of the terrorist organization, the Global Liberating Army or GLA. While the government and army were focused on dealing with the aftermath of terrorism, GLA agents stole a nuclear warhead.

Seizure of Baikonur

These actions were a prelude to the start of the GLA military invasion of China. Military clashes led to the GLA's seizure of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. From there, the GLA launched chemical weapons strikes against the United States and Europe. Such an act forces the U.S. to join the battle against the GLA and start World War III.

In the story campaign, you can choose one of three participants in the war:

• The United States Army, led by Colonel Barton
• Mobilized Chinese forces and their leader, the Black Lotus
• The Terrorist Army, led by Jamal Kell

Each army has different characteristics that balance the forces within the game. The high-tech U.S. army is expensive, but has advanced weapons and technology. China's army is numerous and cheap, but loses significantly in technical performance. The GLA army, equipment, and construction are the cheapest in the game, but their bases are easier to destroy.
