[b]THIS IS A SCĄM — It Doesn't Even Launch on Modern PCs[/b] Selling a game that straight up [b]DOES NOT WORK[/b] on modern systems is fraud, not nostalgia. Command & Conquer: Generals is a legendary game — but this version is a [b]disgrace[/b]. Bought it in 2025. RTX 3060. Clean install. The game crashes instantly with a fake “[i]DirectX 8.1[/i]” error — a known issue for over [b]10 YEARS[/b]. Zero fixes from EA, zero updates, [u]zero warnings[/u] on the store page. You have to: [list] [*]Dig through community forums [*]Download unofficial wrappers [*]Inject DLLs manually [*]Patch the game outside Steam [/list] ...just to get it to not crash. And even then, [b]it still fails for many users[/b]. [b]No modern GPU support. No native multiplayer. No maintenance. No excuses.[/b] This isn’t just laziness — [b]it’s deception[/b]. Steam shouldn’t allow this garbage to be sold in 2025. The store page should have a giant red warning: [code] ⚠️ Does not run ...

Generals has some amazing explosion physics! Each faction has a very different set of weaponry. a great soundtrack and atmosphere. Great game.
Absolute gem but again needs GenPatcher to run on Windows 11
Been playing this game ever since it came out still like it
played it since i was like 7
Good game, very solid. I was a bit overwhelmed with the plethora of options available for each unit and their unique abilities, as well as learning a ton of new keybinds, as each C&C game has its own array to pick up. My largest gripe however is the absence of 75% of the soul that comes with C&C games. There are no cheesy live action cutscenes, and the lack of Frank Klepacki's tunes really leaves something to be desired. The music is good, Bill Brown did a fine job, but it lacks the uniqueness of Klepacki. The units and mission designs are the highlight here, with very entertaining voicelines from each faction's various vehicles and soldiers, as is the Westwood standard. 7/10. Not my favorite C&C by far, but pretty good.
