Welcome to CNC
Generals World
| Right now I'm
working on a brand new layout for Generals World. I've
even enlisted some help from one of the webmasters of Generals-World.de.
All I'll say about it right now is this: blue. Luckie is
currently working on finishing up that |
 |
screensaver that I've been delaying on for the
past month ;-). That's about all that's new here at CNC
Generals World for now.
Latest Poll:
What
do ya think about EAPs decision to not have an official
ladder in Generals?
Note: I just realized the
poll had an error and wasn't accepting any more votes.
Problem fixed :).

| CNC Series has a
translation for the "Physics Test" video that I uploaded
yesterday. The video has German commentary, and
Ghettoblaster has been kind enough to translate it for
us. Head to CNC
Series to read it. |

| There's three
new Generals videos out! They aren't of missions, but
instead they test different SAGE engine effects. Check
out our Video
Downloads page for more information. The videos are
called Physics Test, Big Fight, and Chain Reaction. You
will need the DivX
Codecs (use the DivX 5.0.2 Bundle download on that
page) to watch these video.

Here they are
folks! Freshly uploaded to our Video
Downloads page... 6 new Generals videos! First of
all, I would like to thank CNC Universe, who
found most of the videos, and of course CommunityTeam.de,
where the videos are initially from. The newest videos
are at the top of the list, and the bottom few have been
previously released but i just got around to uploading
them now. So now, without further ado, here are the
videos:
Map
Editor: In this movie, Harvard shows off the map
editor.
Unknown
Mission: This video has footage of an unknown USA
mission, in which you must liberate a USA base.
Seige
of Baghdad: This Seige of Baghdad video shows the
first American mission in Generals. The hand-held camera
shakes quite a bit at first, but its definitely awsome
to watch.
These videos where released within the
last couple of weeks, from various sources:
Computer
and Video Games Movie: Includes all the footage from
the 13 GameSpot movies, in .mov format and in better
quality.
Operation
Blue Eagle: This large movie (95.1 MB!) shows
the mission where the UN Negotiator is assasinated by
the GLA. For people with fast internet connections, this
is a great download.
White
Knight: (66.5 MB) The White Knight mission
video shows everything from GLA Rocket Buggies to
American Crusader tanks and more. The video and sound
are good quality.Have fun downloading and
watching the videos (especially you 56Kers out there
 ). I listed the file sizes for the two biggest
files. For the file sizes of the other files, visit our
Videos
page. |
Coming
soon...

We've got lots
of stuff for ya coming on up soon (some things sooner
than others). I've been busy with school and other
stuff, and we had a bit of technical troubles (PC
virus), so that new layout is taking a bit longer than I
expected. The screensaver is virtually done, but we're
holdin that off until the new layout launches. Also, you
can expect some new Generals movies to be available for
download from our site tomorrow morning. You may have
noticed news posts about them at other sites... there's
a few new Generals videos out. Unfortunately, some of
them are quite large, and I can only upload so fast,
even with a cable connection. Since I'm really busy
right now, I'll post the sites that found the videos
once I've got them uploaded.
Update: I'll have the
videos up this afternoon. Two of them are still
uploading, and I'm off to school right now.

Ice-Bird.net
(German) has both a new preview and new screenshots of
Generals!
Click
here for the German version of the preview. An
English translated version can be found here,
thanks to Gamers Europe.
All 24 of the
screenshots and other pictures can be found on this
page. Some are miscolored, some were taken with
a digital camera, but nonetheless they are new images to
feast your eyes on, so be sure to check em
out!
In addition to the preview and screenshots,
they have released three *new* videos. They are
all quite small, but show never before seen footage of
the GLA Scud Storm superweapon fireing, the US attacking
a GLA base, and the US attacking the Scud Storm. You can
download those videos here,
here,
and here,
respectively. |

| There has been a
lot of speculation recently as to where Harvard Bonin
is. Rumor has it that he has been traveling abroard,
presenting Generals. I've received confirmation from one
of the webmasters of Generals-World.de
that Harvard is currently in Germany at some kind of
games convention, or at least he was yesterday.
Generals-World's staff met with him, had an interview,
played Generals, and took many screenshots (to be
released in a few days). It is also known that Harvard
will be traveling to England for a games convention
there sometime soon as well.

Here's the
latest news from around the CNC Generals online
community:
CNC Generals
Nation has a new layout! Black, orange,
and gray. Personally I like everything except the
top banner, but that will just take a little getting
used to I guess. Anyway, head here to check it
out.
Westwood
Unleashed has a new wallpaper up, made by
RcaMumba. Here's a thumbnail:
.jpe)
Click
the image to view it's full version.
Jamie from WW-Unleashed has
put together some information from the Official Generals
Message Boards.
Info on the Generals editor:
The editor will be the same editor the dev teams
uses. You will have all the power they have to create
maps, ingame movies, and scripted missions.
Will the editor be made by EA?
The
editor is a product of EA much like every game a
developer produces under the name.
Info on
the beta:
It's not going to be a "DEMO" it
will be a "BETA."
No eta as to when it will begin,
that I can talk about just yet.
Info on
online play:
It will be Game Spy only, no WOL.
When I say Game Spy I mean it's the backend that
powers matching.
There will be no Game Spy arcade
to use. It will feel just like RA2 and Yuri's revenge
when you log in. GameSpy is just the networking stuff
running behind the scenes. Does that make sense? There
will be no GameSpy Arcade (a secondary program) to
play Generals.
Info on generals
features:
Generals will have full replay
capabilities, save them until your heart is
content.

Generals News Roundup

Over the past
week or so there's been several inverview and new
previews pertaining to CNC Generals. Here's the latest
interviews:
Our German partner site, Generals-World,
has had an interview with Harvard Bonin, co-executive
producer of Generals. The interview is in German, but
I'll see if I can get an English version to you sometime
this weekend. In the meantime, you can use AltaVsita
Translation here
for a rough translation.
Doc from XRA2X
has conducted an interview with Delphi regarding the use
of GameSpy instead of WOL. Here's that inverview:
Doc: Why has EAP decided to let
GameSpy handle all the online games? I think about 50%
of the people prefer WOL, and 50% prefer GameSpy to
play Westwood's games online.
Chris
(Delphi): Question, if it's intergrated into the
game, what's the difference? Game Spy is far better
equipped to handle this traffic with staff and 24 hrs
a day monitoring. Trust me! With the code improvements
and Beta Generals will be rocks solid by ship.
=) If they integrate it into the game, I
guess it makes sense to me. I would still rather have
EAP make their own awsome online multiplayer matching
system, but that would only further delay the game's
release.
On this
thread in the Official
Generals Message Boards, Chris mentioned this about
a replay feature in Generals:
Delphi-EA: Generals will have full
replay capabilities, save them until your heart is
content.
Japorms: Whoa awesome, Generals
seems to be getting all the features absent in other
cnc games. cool
Delphi-EA: Features that
will be carried over to all C&C games to
come Sounds like a neat little feature to
me!
Slavik of Planet
CNC conducted a large interview with Mark Skaggs.
Here's part of that interview:
Q: In the video made in Germany,
'Generals Online' was mentioned. Is this a new
matchmaking service?
A: It's a new
online component, but, it's something we are going to
talk about later. There are still some things we need
to get together and collaborate on before we can talk
about it. Head here
to read the rest.
And yet another interview: this time conducted by
Boom? of CNCNZ.
Boom?: C&C Generals looks great
from the screen shots, but it lack one thing, the
menu, do you plan to reveal this meun before the
release date?
Delphi: Yes, in future shots.
=)
Boom?: Are you going to make sure the
Generals Forum doesn't spam up like Renegade and Red
Alert 2 one's did? Or its going to be over taken by
Havoc wanna be's? 
Delphi: We'll do what we can to
make sure it's a clean place. =)
One final interview with Chris, this time once again
on the Official
Generals Message Boards. Read this
thread to see the 12 questions.
And
now for links to all the latest previews. Only one of
them has any new info for the Generals fanatic, but if
you're relatively new in the CNC Generals Universe, then
they're all worth a good read.
UGO
has a Generals preview. This is the preview that
actually has some new info, so be sure to read it here.
Gamers
Europe has a new CNC Generals preview here.
Computer
and Video Games has a short article, plus a video
(with no new footage) here.Phewf,
that was a long post. That's it for Generals news for
now... a Community News post is comming up shortly.

Some of the
staff over at Generals-World.de,
our German partner site, were lucky enough to be able to
play the alpha version of Generals over in Germany with
Harvard Bonin. They've posted quite a bit on their site,
for those who speak German. Right now they are still at
the convention, but when they get home they will be
releasing many screenshots  ... stay tuned for that in a few days. I'll
have em posted right away once they're released.
