I loved C&C generals and the expansion as a kid. I loved the interplay between the three completely unique factions, from the massive tank armies China can swarm you with or how dominant you could be with mass air using the USA. The expansion provided even more depth since it essentially divided the factions into tons commanders you select which fit your playstyles. The destruction and physics you saw in the game was also mindblowing for its day and age and made most PC's crawl during the endgame from what I remember. TBH I was really let down when EA canceled the F2P Generals project they had brewing a couple of years ago, and livid that they ultimately brought it back as this....
I would love to see EA bring back the franchise! I know the remaster for Red Alert is slowly shaping up so here's hoping they can maybe do something with the Generals franchise in the near future.
Sidenote: Do you guys think the idea of a sequel would fly in today's political climate? The GLA's portrayal of the Taliban/al Qaeda is one thing but I remember the portrayal of China as this over the top nationalistic behemoth which I think wouldn't resonate well given recent events.
