This 2003 classic RTS is still fantastic...

Command & Conquer: Generals is still fantastic
Command & Conquer: Generals is still one of the most loved real-time strategy games out there, even after all these years. In this video, we’re going to break down exactly why this game has stood the test of time. From the awesome faction-based warfare to the unique units and explosive battles, Generals delivers an experience that keeps pulling in both old fans and new players.

I didn't expect such a positive response in the comments! Thank you everyone, I would love to try out some mods for this, if anyone has any suggestions I would like to give it a go, I have only ever played the base game. Also I definitly want to do a video of me trying online multiplayer for the first time. I think I would get totally smashed haha.

[@Warpig-p4o]

@@Hairyjake try contra or shockwave mods and you can play with people that match your skill level the community is very positive

[@B.Legacy]

@Hairyjake everyone has to start somewhere.. but better to watch some of the new tutorials of how to build in online games

[@abcstudio5802]

Generals Zero hour Now is More than alive! And Community growing to 100k subscribers 🎉

[@arsalabbasmirza]

My personal favourites in terms of mods are Rise of the Reds - or more recently, I've been real into 'The End of Days' (TEOD) - both are fantastic mods...!

Still playing it now after 20 years.

[@goldnmnkyua]

Its so good theres still a huge fanbase and even world championships. Its a great game albeit a few bugs and a really painful online experience. Wish it had multiplayer through steam..

[@B.Legacy]

Brother .. this game still alive .. there are thousands of active players .. The current world series happening this month with a prize pool is nearly 20,000$ .. And we just had a LAN party in the Netherlands with a prize pool of 4,000€ .. There are patches to this game and fixes to make it playable on newer systems ..

I'm really glad I played the game when I was younger, and that I'm a part of its community and a modder.

[@appdevman]

China Overlord tanks with speaker towers are THE BEST. This game will never die :)

[@tomich20]

one of the most important thing is the amazing comunity. 12 years later they continue playing online, and its amazing!!!

[@Stratigoz]

One of the best RTS If not the best. So many funny mechanics and aspects on it. There are community patches that fix many problems too since it is 20+ years old. The only downside is that becomes unstable during multiplayer with many players(many units) but that is pretty minor problem for most people. Check multiplayer competitive games to see how fun this game really is.

[@ZekeDlyoung]

Attack move doesn't target buildings to accommodate strategies involving capturing enemy buildings without accidentally destroying them. If you want a full attack move that includes structures, you'll have to use the Guard command (G). Better yet, enable "Double-click Guard" in the game options so you can just double click on the ground and your units will automatically attack move, then start guarding once they reach the location (and yes. this attack move includes structures). Nice video, nice to see another ZH enjoyer 🙂

[@marcosvictor9898]

Im playing it exactly right now, and i ve tried world championship. It is so good game as chess. Billions of possibilities each match!

[@foxmindeye]

I'm still playing it amazing with mods even without

[@weepea3249]

Generals is still a BOMB! Those mods of generals are also BOMB especially shockwave mod.

[@lutonroy]

The best game by far, I bet the creators can't believe its still, going that proves its a great game.

[@aurorauplinks]

goood goood oh this excites me i love command and conquer generals but i dont like to play games anymore, but watching others have fun is great ;D

[@JBLardizabal]

I'm still playing Zero Hour! Twilight Flame again and again and again, 2vs2vs2vs2. I'm weakest with the Tank General, strongest with GLA or any of their special Generals!

[@empirebaran5060]

We already know about Generals Zh, there is a whole community out there playing online.

[@مطر-ث9ف]

[@xavierxanax4496]

One of the best game in the genre!

@Hairy Jake gaming. There's still a big following for this game. Regular tournament prize money and big streamers. I post contact about the game amongst others. Recently there was a LAN event in the Netherlands too made by the community.

[@Hairyjake]

I recently stumbled across legionnaire generals on youtube, it's fun to watch those free for all matches.

[@Millard9]

@@Hairyjake Yeah @legionnaire generals is a great streamer and hosted the last few Lan events, he does really good content and is very consistent. Met him in person he's a good guy.

[@NathanMannin]

@@HairyjakeDoMiNaToR is another KZbin channel worth watching, he posts C&C Generals Zero Hour content daily, casting pro 1V1 replays, livestreams, tournaments and his own gameplays including FFA’s, definitely the best Zero Hour KZbin channel in my opinion!

Hello! This is great to see - nice video. I’m one of the many members involved in the community and am involved with the following: senior referee at GameReplays, sponsor, player and streamer. As B.Legacy mentioned, we just had a LAN dedicated to ZH with a 4K Euro prize pool, and the World Series (now at the semi final stage) has a $20k prize pool, of which I hold the majority (so I’m also a community treasurer!) If anyone wants more info, do feel free to message me :) would be great to see even more players join! xD

I enjoyed how you refenced to the factions in this game as "races" :D ... anyway, this is one game that will never get a remaster for political reasons.

[@Hairyjake]

I think years of playing StarCraft has rooted the word races in my head when it comes to rts.

[@Bawar33]

Best RTS game still, not sure why stupid EA ignored it, it still can be best game of they put some work on it than shitty charttony games in 2024

[@Lemmings19]

10/10 for repeatedly calling the factions races lol

[@Hairyjake]

Too much StarCraft! I found it hard to think of any other term than race for the teams you could play XD

[@whoknows20232]

What you are talking about with the 8 player maps slowing down isnt true generally, you are referring to twilight flame map only which has performance issues, true, same cannot be said for other 8 player maps. Zero Hour still has a very active community, currenty holding the World Series (biggest tournament) with a pricepool of 20000$ or something ridiculous. It is a very toxic community with a lot of russian and specifically arab players which tend to lag and hack a lot sadly. It is active on gameranger and radmin (similar to hamachi)
