Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

    Hey, is that game any good? I only every did Tiberian Sun and RA2, is it worth getting into?

    Yeah but good luck getting it working reliably on modern Windows. Runs great on Linux. It's probably the last truly great C&C game, if you ask me. C&C 3 was alright too I guess...

    IMO it's great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it's something that you definitely couldn't make today.

    Like the "terrorist" side gets suicide bombers and a unit called "angry mob" to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

    The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.
