I can build any where. Can't build there sir.

my brother in christ. People where just as offended back then as now. Only differance that people this day havea platform to speak on

"The Chinese generate money through hacker farms and by ignoring environmental agreements to sustain their rapid industrial growth. Propaganda towers make sure their subjects continue to think the way they are supposed to. In the game, this is portrayed similarly" *2-second pause* Caught me off-guard.

Although am iraqi am still playing the shit out of this game in my old ass windows 7 laptop

Iraq war and desert storm are Russian mods for generals as far as I know, how long ago I played them nostalgia Oh this is a review of regular C&C generals and not the “Iraq war” mod for the game as I thought from the title of the video

What are you talking about ? Its real life happening. The GLA is so accurate.

gla underground ...so relevant even today

I doubt the Americans would not have invaded Iraq even had they been told about the dismantling of the chemical weapons program. The true reason for the invasion of Iraq has always been the fact that Iraq began exporting oil for the Euro. Which was a huge slap in the face for the petrodollar, considering Iraq was believed to have the worlds largest oil reserves at the time. The objective always was to remove Saddam and replace him with a more "agreeable" government, which privatized the Iraqi oil fields and sold the drilling rights to western oil companies. It was also supposed to be a show of force for any other resource rich nation that would dare ditch the US Dollar.

EA made political incorrect funny rts games : chinese : *angry, *ban german : *angry, *ban middle east country : "lmao this game fun"

What a game...

I am almost never played the original Generals missions. Most of my gameplay was on Zero Hour. The game had one of the best military soundtracks. The unit promotion system existed in Red Alert as well.

12:38 respect for that, guess there are some independent nations in Nato what's rly surprising to me 😂😂😂

People who said Red Alert or Tiberium series were the best clearly never play Generals. Generals of all three Command & Conquer subseries is the most relevant and relatively immersive, yet its still a game. A perfect balance, I might add. Instead the rather unique but a tad weird side bar, Generals uses the more common bottom bar. Instead of the typical two sided (not counting Yuri's faction In Yuri's Revenge), the game uses three factions. Instead of janky FMV + CGI except for the news section in Zero Hour, for the first time all cutscenes uses in game graphics. This game is truly a mirror of present real life event, unlike Red Alert or Tiberium which is like shadows. And the in game fund uses literally US Dollar, a straightforward design choice instead of Tiberium or Oil/Iron ore.

This game kind of predicted the rise of ISiS. It's also propably the best C&C title ever made IMO.

4:45 One path to freedom. ⚔

Yes, the cowards had destroyed the beautiful country in only 26 days in what is internationally recognized as an illegal war, let alone all the massacres the US and UK would commit in the process...

Man as an 18yo iraqi This game brings nostalgia when i remember it I remember having 2 cds A blue and brown cd Great game

iraq does have airfeld

Cancelation of command and conquer generals 2 alone is proof the first game couldn’t be made today.

the Supply drops are not from over seas its from the U.N also i go to the game files and saw Supply drop.exe and it shows the Texture

and very important point is: Saddam did NOT support al qaida and other Islamist groups. Saddams enemy’s were even islamists, Osama bin laden wanted to overthrow him. AND ideological they not the same, bin laden a Islamist, saddam a secular Baathist (Arab socialist/nationalist)

Saddam was a dick but the devil you know is better than the one you don’t. Great game! Question now will the US withdrawal from Afghanistan lead to the China campaign happening in real life now. They do have their Muslim population in concentration camps so I don’t think they are making friends among those in the Middle East. Could make them a target I’d imagine.

I loved the propaganda quotes: "the virus is from eating bats" "we have it under control"

"The GLA also has no Airforce" Then explain the Anthrax Bomb plane.

3:00 g, i hope you are not denying Halabja massacre.

Cannot be made today, but yet we have Syrian Warfare the game :P love that game.

You are so underrated, you make such a good content but sadly many people don't care the games that you talking about

Stop saying bullshit saddam was far away from coward and if you want any evidence just watch his trial

"No normal people were offended." "Not many outside of politics cared about being politically correct." "In 2003" Ah... what a time...

I loved playing generals as a kid, and I legit didn't know about how controversial it could've been back then to be released so close to the iraq invasion.

It would've been more thematically fitting if China could build hydroelectric dams instead of nukes as their superweapon and when the timer finishes you can unleash a giant flood on your enemies. It would have the largest yield area but with the drawback of possibly hurting your own units unless you micro them to high ground or garrison them in tall buildings or evac them with helix helicopters. That actually happened with china purposely against the japanese military in 1938. They have only recently proliferated nuclear weapons (apparently) compared with the U.S. and Russia it just doesn't fit their style of gameplay.

Just commit tortilla bro

i know that you might not see this comment but someone made a mod for Battlefield 1 that changes the look of the soldiers to be more history friendly, i highly recommend it and its really nice and i use it all the time plus its multiplayer friendly, i link the mod www.nexusmods.com/battlefield1/mods/10

My dad bought me the uncut german Generals version back then. I was the happiest 13 year old for a moment. And I still play Zero Hour Online. What a masterpiece.

And this game seems to be foreshadowing the current events these days too.... at the end of Zero Hour, China becomes the world's leading superpower after defeating the GLA in Europe. The USA has to resort to isolationism due to domestic problems and being humiliated by the GLA (capturing a Particle Cannon and using it on an Aircraft Carrier, and stealing toxins within the US soil). In real-life... we can already see the rise of China, Terrorist problems (ISIS and ISIS-inspired terrorist groups), and the current riots in the USA.

2:24 Why is Patrick on the wall?

Also the pre-censor german Version is absolutely beautiful! Love the voice acting. "soll ich den Knopf drücken?"

Enjoy everyone. I'll be putting up more videos this summer so give me some feedback and let me know if you like the direction I'm taking with this channel.
