No more smudged-looking 2D isometric graphics which patronise your $300 graphics card. Which means, no more bald-headed paedophile-looking terrorist leaders. No, in fact from what weвЂ™ve seen and heard so far, Generals couldnвЂ™t be further removed from the C&C universe if it tried. Neither will it be based on a power struggle between Communist Russia and the Allies, as envisioned by the Red Alert games. Possibly the most striking difference (other than the aesthetic one, which IвЂ™ll come to later) is that C&C: Generals will not be based in the C&C world we're all familiar with, where NOD and GDI forces battled for world supremacy.

ItвЂ™s all change on planet C&C, and if youвЂ™re hankering for more of the same then donвЂ™t bother. In fact, things couldnвЂ™t be more different, so forget everything you know about the previous games, lock it in a wooden casket and fire it into space, never to be seen again. But as youвЂ™re about to find out, thatвЂ™s not the only change from this, the most famous RTS series. After almost ten years, four games, and innumerable add-on packs, the Command & Conquer franchise is finally moving into 3D, rejuvenated by developer EA Pacific (a branch of Westwood), who brought us the excellent Red Alert 2 addon pack YuriвЂ™s Revenge.
