Hey, is that game any good? I only every did Tiberian Sun and RA2, is it worth getting into?

Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

Yeah but good luck getting it working reliably on modern Windows. Runs great on Linux. It’s probably the last truly great C&C game, if you ask me. C&C 3 was alright too I guess…

Oh yay! I am on Mint, though I am an idiot so I will likely fuck it up. I have no GPU just an old optiplex and I think I have the game on steam.

Should work fine, I run it on Steam with proton 10! Good luck & have fun!

IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.
Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

And there’s no Tim Curry, who frankly makes RA2

If you get to zero hour try the chaos mod. Its really flushing out all the generals with new abilities and units and a new campaign.
