I would give anything to see Grant play through the Generals campaign. It is unhinged and fantastic
I second this motion
Campaing?! I want to see him beat the challenges as every single general!
... pretty sure the modder is not going to get it running anytime soon though
I'd like to see him go through Generals, Tiberium Wars, and even a coop session with Jayborino for Red Alert 3.
@@Taldaris And add my anything into the mix
@@sirlight-ljij would donating a 4-digit number count as anything? 😅
Holy expletive! BOYS HE'S FINALLY DOING IT! C&C has been my jam since 95
Also, talking about outdated military tech; Tiberium Sun which is supposed to be a future sci-fi game thought the peak of anti-infantry troopers were grenades shaped like frisbees. All because disk golf had started to become a thing in the late 90s, completely ignoring the vastly superior grenade launcher rifle technologies that were in development.
Well remember that those Frisbee grenades let soldiers relax and train at the same time, very economical
Well, in tiberium wars they somehow go back to cars/tanks instead of walkers, so they are very loose in regards of advanced tech…
Those grenades had the same range as AT rockets and infantry rifles and bouncing as far as tanks shells so the grenadiers' training regime probably entailed the daily ingestion of the most vicious steroids ever made by mankind.
I love Tiberian sun so much. Titans, cyborgs and webslinging cyborg spiders.
Kane lives!
its weird to see my favorite game's and their "near future" technology become obsolete in real time.
The F-22 Raptor wasn't accepted into service when Generals came out, but it was in its final stages of development
UPD: Yes, I know that Grant misspoke about the F-117, I'm talking about a different thing
I think he was talking about the F-117 when he mentioned retirement (decommissioning).
Brother.
@@JWQweqOPDH that's a different topic
the "stealth fighter" in the game is the F-117, he just confused its designation. And that was already existing and is now decommissioned. The Raptor of course is by now _also_ mostly replaced by the F-35, even if it still remains in service, no new ones are being built.
@@dtluna1312 he meant the F117, he said F22 by accident
20:43 The little screen shake really sells this over the purifier beam. The little details make all the difference.
19:08 That Particle Cannon shot was perfectly timed with the guitar in the soundtrack.
it appears to play the music when you cast the particle beam
@@ihatepplwhohatedm That's the actual track, it was just perfectly timed or when he dumped 4-5 of them on the AI it would have restarted every time.
I was confused about the Raptor-balloon comment, then I remembered that a balloon is currently the only air kill of the F-22. I'm slow.
_God_ this takes me back. I absolutely adore Generals, and have been wishing I could replay it in some form lately. This, certainly helps with that. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
As far as I know it is on origin and it does run, I have been playing it from there at the least, although to get higher resolutions I think you have to update a configuration file with the resolution you want but it still works.
That particle beam has a much better, meater, and “game feel-y” sound and effect than purifier beam!
Everyone knows, the the way to play america in C&C Generals, is to go laser general and cut the map in half with a wall of laser turrets. Is it useful and powerful? Not really, but is it worth it? Absolutely, though only for the spectacle of it.
For the record, MOAB technically stands for Massive Ordinance Air Blast, even if people tend to call it the mother of all bombs :p
Holy sh*t that particle accelerator animation was great, waaay better than the one in generals vanilla.
I mean it's a very obvious case of trying desparately to get an acronym to work so might as well call it what it was intended to be :)
@@johannesgutsmiedl366 Could be, but I'm not sure it was ever intended to be what people called it :p
@@op4000exe it was.... Military Acronyms tend to be like that
Holy hell, this looks amazing, great use of the Red Alert 3 engine to modernize a classic!
It would be interesting to see one cast of the tournament on this mod. You could call out a Sybert on this one. He does casts and comments on games of this mod, c&c3 and ra3. Just as a special guest you could suggest one video. he does this with some youtubers who is just excited about the game sometimes. Not an add btw, so I won't tell who did he bring on his casts. All the tournaments are funded by enthusiasts, so modding community is still pretty active.
There already was a tournament. And Sybert has casted a lot of show matches. The last one was pretty big.
I grew up on generals and zero hour. My actual favorite and what got me into RTS
Grant? Playing CNC game? What kind of dream I'm in? I had never expected you to touch those games and I'm very glad that you finally did
Yeah man, its 1:31 am. at my place. You're making it not easy for me Grant.
Everyone else: "This is giving me so much childhood nostalgia!!"
Me: "How the FUCK did they mod the BGM in Red Alert 3? EA gave us gimped mod tools and faction music was hardcoded!"
(also if the modders are reading this, you can use the Japan Seawing as a model for how to make air units actually circle when idle - in RA3 paradox we actually had units properly dogfighting with some heavy tweaking)
I loved so many Command and Conquer games, so seeing Generals once more warms my heart. Well done modding community!
Never expect to see my favorite rts gamer play my favorite rts game! Thank you so much grant you just made me tear up for reminding me of my childhood ❤
Finally, our CNC games.
For the pink background, please install the 4GB patch fix to resolve the issue.
Fun fact: The GLA gets a big boost in construction speed when having power and is one of the most op things for the GLA. So if you are going to play more and using GLA use this to your advantage.
sadly doesnt work rn on GLA because engine limitations are hell
Finally, welcome to the gen evo community!
Grant's pure delight at the particle cannon gives me life
So excited to see you playing some C&C on the channel. Saw this mod showcased by Sybert here on RUclips. Gotta get around to trying it at some point.
I'm glad to see CnC games on this chanel. Thank You.
You just opened up a can of worms with this one...now we're all going to be "play C&C games plz" along with the SC/Warcraft noise. 🤣
Grant: bombs empty ground almost a dozen times
Also Grant: "these stealth bombers have gotten a lot of value"
Handy tip my man. Airplanes can't attack move.
I have played Generals (zero hour) for 20 years I still play it just about every day I love the game. I am so happy you did a test play on this evolutions version as I have been quite curious about it. looks promising.
we need more c&c gameplay, this thing introduced me to sc2
Love Generals so much. My main memory was one of the Chinese missions, big village in the center of the map, GLA bases in the north, player base in the south. When you approach the middle you get warned their commando is in the area, so me being a kid noped out.
Me also being a kid had built something like 20 nuke silos and just kept building them. I nuked the entire village to get this one guy. Usually games would tell you if something it explicitly warned you about was defeated in some way, but in this mission it seems it doesn't. So I nuked the entire center band of the map another two times before figuring he might be outside the village, and nuked the entire map outside of my base all at once. And then again with extras to destroy the GLA bunkers.
A section of the village gets used for a victory cutscene. A cutscene which was now a parade of troops and tanks rolling through a destroyed village with 'cheering' villagers covered in radiation effects. I felt a little bad... but if they survived maybe the commando did too... maybe I didn't do enough...
Omg what a day! Grant playing C&C generals what a day to be alive!
We're making the mother of all bombs here Jack, can't fret over every nuke!
Petition to name it MOACAB Mother Of All Conventional Aerial Bombs
Yeeessss come to CnC. So happy to see you share the joy that is their rts games
Someone also remastered Red Alert 3 with remastered graphics, leader-powers, units, and buildings.
Definitely worth checking out!
Giant Grant playing C&C... have I fallen into a deep coma and this is all just a dream?
That moment when Grant fell in love with Mr. Laser all over again. XD
I think the best way to sum up the three factions are.
America: I can build anywhere... Can't build there, Sir.
China: Soon your base will glow like the sun.
GLA: Can I have some shoes?
Man, I never have played C&C, but now I want to play RA3 :D
Thanks for the video, Grant!
Seeing Grant play Generals brings me more joy than I can possibly fathom
Grant playing the right 'version' (mod) of Red Alert 3. What a glorious day!
"Or so bad at blocking yourself with energy at particle cannons" Supreme Commander would allow that.
Hell yeah, cnc generals has been one of my fav game growing up
Grant you just made my day, C&C Generals is tickling all the best nostalgia vibes and I love it.
Can Grant beat the entire campaign.... deathless...? or marines only? Love to find out :P
Didn't expect you to cover this - I was playing this a bit before, and I feel like it REALLY deserves some light
"This guy was mean to me, because he sent out one infantry and now I'm going to destroy his entire family." - Giant Grant Games portraying 'Murica!
PieIsDaBest branching out to Red Alert3, GGG sipping his toes into C&C:GE... And now I'm visioning the team-up we don't deserve but what we need
Oh, C&C Generals. The GLA had no chill whatsoever. Which is what made them amazing.
"Thank you for the new shoes!"
I'm glad that this mod exists. I now have a reason to install Red Alert 3 now.
19:08 Also, perfectly timed with the soundtrack. GG Grant.
feel free to join the discord we maybe can help with peoblems that might occur and answer questions about changes that needed to be done to make it work in RA3 engine
F-22 Raptor is very much active. F-117A is called the Nighthawk and it is retired but serving in a limited capacity as a training tool.
This mod! Brought my memories back by a better quality and sound effects
GENERALS!!! Loved this game. Definitely want a return to this series!
The resource truck casually roadkilling the enemy while trying to depot is peak comedy "Oh, What happen to you buddy?" if only he knew
Official Petition for Grant to play the campaign when it gets finished!
Counting down to the day Grant actually plays Supreme Commander.
I think those Patriots went a little more with the Derpy Derp Firing Solution..... 😆
Interesting design, somewhere in between C&C generals and C&C tiberium wars with building
Generals was the second ever RTS I played after WC3, and it has definetly been my favorite of the two, despite its limitations
The soundtrack is immaculate, the voice lines are memorable and great
Some I remember vividly are the SCUD launcher and Nuke Cannon
"Behold, the bringer of light" always gives me goosebumps
Damn going oldschool Grant! Aaaaand im heeeere for it. btw saw you asked for ideas a cupple of days ago. Id love to see you do a campain of Creeper World 4, its a static defence rts with some cool concepts
This is really good! Glad you enjoy generals, it’s a Very 2004 game in all the good and bad ways but it’s very fun
Ohh, C&C is back on menu! :D Thanks Grant :)
holy moly, i need this, i need you to play all of C&C!
Nice to see this after the reference in First of the Lastborn!
It's really nice to see you play cnc games, since you talked about newer engines, cnc3 has a nice engine, i believe it's really close to the ra3 engine and it's a fun game
Detection in generals depends on the faction you are. USA has pathfinder (sniper infantry) and their spy satilites. GLA has radar trucks and I dont remember what China has. But all of their anti-air structures also detect.
China uses troop crawlers and overlord tanks and helixes upgraded with gattling cannons. Also Black Lotus.
@@warsword4 And the listening outpost added in ZH
I thought Grant said that he's not going to touch Command and Conquer due to different control schemes and it possibly screwing with his muscle memory? I mean, he's on competitive level so it's a legit concern or at least sounded like it for me.
But if we're doing it, I'm all in:D Maybe you guys would also take a few ideas from C&C to add to units rosters in SC? For example synergy between snipers and juggernauts in Tiberium Wars to extend effective range of terran SPGs(that they call tanks, despite those hardly being tanks).
The superweapons from Command and Conquer were always the best.
"It is OLD, like really, really, really old"
- yeah thanks for that
/me looking at the retail box on the shelf
I love the little touch they did with the music changing to the game's most iconic track for the particle cannon.
If you're picking up the C&C games, are the Tiberium games on your radar? Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath are some of my all-time favorite RTS games and I would love to hear your thoughts on them. Keep up the great work, Grant!
3:50
Air General already starts with access to stealth fighters and no paladin (for now). The general upgrade panel does not vary with faction only nation. Go for the spy drone in the future to keep tabs on enemy movement and macro :D
4:10 Yeah the US patriot missiles seem to be bugged v infantry
4:43 Yes all aircraft are VTOL because in the RA3 engine aircraft on pads are VTOL.
5:45 All secondary income structures now pay out a small, constant stream of resources, from the moment they're placed no less - don't even need to be built
6:00 Air general's aircraft have a ton of point defense lasers. It's really hard to shoot them down with missiles
Yeah, the Particle Cannon in both the original game and the mod, despite having a smaller beam, feels a lot...heavier? meatier? than the purifier beam. Honestly it's like a small high pressure washer vs a larger low pressure faucet.
I like this game cause it's the only strategy game that you can have airplanes and control over them as well, and do some dogfight as well
Command & Conquer Generals (and a similiar game called "Conflict zone" predicted a lot of stuff, the MOAB that you mentioned, the F-22 (Which wasn't actually in use at the time generals originally came out, it was still in test flights) the GLA having a real world counterpart, etc.
pretty cool to see C&C again! It's been soooo long since I played it.
C&C Generals was one of my all time favourite games when I was growing up! I had a lodger who lived at my house when I was around 10 and saw him playing it, and ended up getting it myself further down the line! I still like to load up generals every now and then. I think this is why I love starcraft 2 so much also as the base building is quite similar. I never really got into any of the other C&C games as I liked this way of base building.
Ouuuuh, I loved this game as a child! I'd love you to play more of this!
It's sad there is no C&C remasters in the works considering how well received the C&C 95 remaster was.
My childhood is here in a new skin.
Generals is the first RTS I remember playing as a kid it's why I love RTS games to this day.
Real shame that in my prime C&C style RTS is dead hopefully that'll change this year.
Anything that you are playing and having fun I enjoy :)
Classic! played a lot of cc generals mods back in the days, last stand was something of a favorite, no single missions but great skirmish maps
Oh my god!!! I just bought the total “every c&c game package” to get access to generals. So excited. Wish they could put it in the SC2 engine
Hey some fact checks)
MOAB was actualy used at that time)
As well as b2 spirit which lands that thing
Also F117 nighhawk was never actualy retired, its used even now.
Generals used some "nextgenish" things like lasers and used Patriot missiles wrong, but other things you speak was used in conflicts)
About RTS with good and mobile air units - Supreme Commander Forged Aliance. It is not a new game, but still alive due to community support with Forged Alliance Forever project.
You can always get the money in the supply drop zone grant, even if the plane got destroyed as long as he already drop it.
17:10 I don't know the exact implementation in this mod but in vanilla CnCG Black Market at GLA makes money at the same rate as the dropzone, but in $20 parts, and Chinese Hackers may even outperform the dropzone if they live long enough to gain veterancy.
I agree with the comment section would love command and conquer games. theres so much content in them and even the olders games are fun to watch like tib wars
Was really interested to see how they would've handled the building process, though being 0.3 I wish the original building procedure of the game could be implemented.
Note: the stealth bomber you were using is the F-117 Nighthawk which came with mediocre characteristics for an aircraft of it's class (speed, altitude & payload) & the "stealth" was supposed to compensate for it's other short-comings. In the 1991 war against Iraq non of them have been shutdown which lead the military believe that they were completely (rather "actually") stealth, though in the bombing of Serbia in 1999 an F-117 was shutdown by S-125 a SAM from 1961.
For the Comanche, you could say it's similar aircraft though a helicopter, all the systems revolving around it failed to reach acceptable requirements.
I wouldnt mind more generals stuff from grant ngl
So, in Generals, american supply depots is actually the worst infinite money building, simply because sometimes, supply drop has a few boxes fall outside the delivery zone so you need to pick them up. The best infinite money building is probably the chinese internet center, as it can get a powerful result with one building and you are free to pump out as many hackers to operate outside it as you want, taking up way less space than a supply drop zone would.
Idk how well that is reflected here. Ideally, they should be about even across every faction, because having a strong eco just means you are better since quantity wins.
Bless them patching it frequently, shoutout to my boy Cybert.
You just took me to my childhood with this vid....
I hope you play the original C&C Generals campaign... DEATHLESS...
I actually think thats impossible
Even if he managed to go through the entire base game(good luck with the gla missions), when he reaches zero hour missions...
If he manages to do the first 2 campaigns, he'd have to deal with the hardest mission command and conquer ever created in the second to final china mission
Thanks for the fun! ^^
Yes gen evo getting some attention thank you GGG!!!
God this makes me so nostalgic, I vividly remember playing GLA and I'd just, turtle to hell and back, I'd literally make it impossible for my base to be broken, good times
also that moment when you goes for a super late game and have every tech from each faction, dammm that feeling of power
I just cant shake the thought thats this looks like CnC 3 Tiberiums Wars. Which would be cool because its Generals in Red Alert 3s Engine and the Visual look of Tiberium Wars 3.
loving the attack order on the ground grant xD in generals that is not an attack move order^^ it is a simple: attack that specific squaremeter of dirt^^ or at least back in generals it was^^ back then you had specific "guard area" orders^^ :P
c&c had the best super weapons, red alert and generals especially!
Me: *Looks up particle cannon on Wikipedia*
Particle Cannon: *created by Reagan admin in 1985, Retired 2015*
Me: Whut...
I gotta say, you need to play C&C Generals, either this or the original. I think you'd love it!
19:00
He just casualy unleashed the Purifier Beam on the guy
At like 4:28 the top right supply truck ran over the guy that was attacking it. The driver must have been fed up with taking fire.
The GLA is like... Cartoonishly evil. Anthrax tractors and slaves.
wow I remember this game (or more specifically generals: zero hour). I used to enjoy it so much, but one day I got a new pc and for the life of me I just could not get the game to run on the more modern system, so it's just been sat on my shelf gathering dust for the last 10 years or so. I'll have to check this out at some point, though I don't actually own red alert 3 on pc.
The Pinkest Menus in all of gaming
Well, the F117 was actually retired after this game came out and replaced by... The F22 Raptor (which wasn't stealth in game but is stealth in real life) and F35 (which isn't in game and won't go into service for over a decade after).
The Aurora project was a black project which was allegedly discontinued (if it had existed at all).
The Comanche helicopter wad a Stealth attack helicopter for the US army, it was cancelled circa 2005(?) with big controversy (the US army never did had a backup and the Apache is now what fills the void, although it's quite different in role and capabilities).
The A-10 Thunderbolt and the B52 are still in service (way after when they were planned to retire), the A-10 is especially contentious nowadays.
The B3/4 in the game (yeah, it's not a B2) was never a real thing, the successor of the B2 is the B21 which is due to enter service in 2025 (allow me to doubt considering the pentagon's impeccable timetables which it has always managed to meet).
The Hercules is still with us.
The Spectre gunship is a real thing (even the name), the real life one is based on the Hercules and the Current version of it is named Ghostrider (the other versions were retired in the last decades).
The other helicopter which Grant hasn't built is actually a flying version of the Humvee with a greater capacity and a PDL (which most AF general aircrafts have, which is why they had such a good survivability) which can be absolutely brutal if used correctly.
He was lucky that he didn't encountered any Chinese General, because all of them can shoot down aircrafts in a matter of seconds and unlike missiles, you can't intercepted bullets...
I'm not sure why people think C&C Generals is believed to be outdated, it was always way ahead of the curve and holds up even now even without the Evolution mod. There's only so far you can push graphics in a strategy game, and IMO Generals was the first game to hit that benchmark (although Tib Wars and Kane's Wrath came close, they were released a few years later).
