chillin 0 Posted October 5, 2003 well, those of us that have it have probably had it for a while now so this thread is to discuss what thoughts we have and whether we like the new units. I really love how this one has more gameplay 5 missoins for each side ?? missions for each general another mode i cant remember more skirmish maps millions of badges and not forgetting internet play oh and all you lovely people's maps and missions Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted October 5, 2003 ?? missions for each general That would be 7 Guess you didn't get that far yet? Share this post Link to post
chillin 0 Posted October 5, 2003 I cudnt remember how many I have done one for pinpoint townes and 2 or 3 for the tank gen Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted October 5, 2003 I have done one for pinpoint townes and 2 or 3 for the tank gen Those two are very annoying if they are your opponent And Alexander on Hard, she's terrible, she comes with planes before you can build any decent defenses. Share this post Link to post
Guest MachineDoctor Posted October 6, 2003 ZH is how Generals should have been released in the first place. Hopefully, we will see some of the bugs addressed shortly! Share this post Link to post
chillin 0 Posted October 6, 2003 I havent noticed any bugs. And Alexander on Hard, she's terrible, she comes with planes before you can build any decent defenses china's good for that, as soon as you can get gattlign cannons up two or three will do for heli's and to protect them just build as many rocket men as you can spare?

Guest MachineDoctor Posted October 6, 2003 I havent noticed any bugs. Someone has listed a few of them (Not sure where I read them though). Selling the Chinese Command Structure when under attack is one. They still haven't got the exit game bug out (Alt F4). I think there are some minor ones as well. Share this post Link to post
chillin 0 Posted October 6, 2003 yeh i recognise the middle two now, someone mentioned the china one somewhere and I remember the alt one from last time on generals Share this post Link to post
Phreakly 0 Posted October 6, 2003 There's also an issue with Radeon cards and displaying the microwave tank's aura effect. essentially it blocks out a large portion of the map. when I got one in the campaign, I had to send it to its death, otherwise I'd have been blind. Share this post Link to post
Guest MachineDoctor Posted October 6, 2003 There's also an issue with Radeon cards and displaying the microwave tank's aura effect. essentially it blocks out a large portion of the map. when I got one in the campaign, I had to send it to its death, otherwise I'd have been blind. Tell me about it! I have an All-in-Wonder 9700 and the Microwave Tank radiates onto all the surrounding units (visual distortion) even when idle. Maybe they need to create a new image for the tank for when it is at rest and not radiating at a target. Interesting unit but really bad visuals!!! Share this post Link to post
Sonic 296 Posted October 7, 2003 I'm having a hard time trying to imagine what this Microwave Tank/ATI card display problem actually looks like :? Anyone got a screen shot of it or seen a screen shot of it? Share this post Link to post
Guest MachineDoctor Posted October 7, 2003 I'm having a hard time trying to imagine what this Microwave Tank/ATI card display problem actually looks like :? Anyone got a screen shot of it or seen a screen shot of it? I'll try to capture it next time I play. It's not really THAT bad maybe I just don't like the way it flickers. Share this post Link to post
Phreakly 0 Posted October 7, 2003 My screen litterally goes black, except for the control bar. Share this post Link to post
Guest MachineDoctor Posted October 7, 2003 My screen litterally goes black, except for the control bar. Nope, on mine it just flickers in a radius around the unit. I guess, it's probably doing what it's supposed to. I would still like it not to radiate unless it was actively firing on something. I did update the drivers on my desktop after installing the card. It did make a big difference but screwed up my screens font. Try getting the latest drivers from ATI. Share this post Link to post
Phreakly 0 Posted October 7, 2003 they're Catalyst 3.7s, last time I checked(friday) I was still up to date... I just happen to enjoy pretty looking stuff on my screen and force it to do FSAA 16x and make it use smothvision. I turned it down and it doesn't cause a problem. Share this post Link to post
Guest MasterWonka Posted October 30, 2003 i thought the addon was great well is great. it didnt take me long to get thru the challenges so im not positive why people are saying that it took them weeks for one but well just pretend like it is impossible and make them all feel special. dont get me wrong ZH brings a hold new challenge on or off line which id good for people who for reasons hopefully out of their control are still 56k. but after i get sick of the addon i will begin modding it so collect your ideas and start joining my mod team before and you will see your stuff on the field. typically my mods bring new units and buildings etc. but i think i am going to add a few generals and possibly more contries. TO KEEP THINGS BALANCED I GOTTA HAVE BETA TESTORS TO PLAY IT!! think you suck at coding? dont matter you are still key to the completion of the mod. Share this post Link to post
Koen 2 Posted October 30, 2003 Did you play Generals Challenge and all the missions on hard too? Then it'll take many tries to beat them Share this post Link to post
Guest MachineDoctor Posted October 30, 2003 Did you play Generals Challenge and all the missions on hard too? Then it'll take many tries to beat them I was thinking the same thing! Playing the Challenges on hard IS hard! Share this post Link to post
chillin 0 Posted October 30, 2003 I tried that, coo.l but very hard. do they get their gen powers quicker cos I felt as soon as the repairs were done they hit again! v hard :lol: Share this post Link to post
KyleBrogan 0 Posted October 31, 2003 I've beat it with Granger on hard, but other than that, I haven't had the gumption to try it again. (It was fun to match tactics with Air Force, but I'm not sure I can do the whole thing again with the other Gens. I am terrible with China, and my only good strategies with GLA involve WAY too many units and horde attacking. And even that doesn't work sometimes. Oh well.) It took me about a week to do Granger's on hard, mostly because I'd be able to play about one at a time, which took me about an hour each. Well, except for the last one, which took me an hour and a half, but that's besides the point. - Sparticus Share this post Link to post
Guest MasterWonka Posted November 3, 2003 yeah it is hard when the computer does its cheap stuff but that is what the idea was i guess making a mode where you really get to hate your enemy. i think they did a good job and i didnt mean to sound that way... i read my last post and i even misunderstood what its intent was. i have been play CnC for far too long and you learn the code when you mod. it helps to know what lines the cpu is goin to follow. thats the main reason i want my mod crew up soon so i can stay online so it isnt so predictable. take it easy all and feel free to contact me with questions and comments. -MW Share this post Link to post
Black-Hand 0 Posted December 19, 2003 i had a similar problem with my radeon9600 pro, i had to do some nasty bodgeing to get it working, involving turning off plug and play aware, and tweeking all the AGP settings to the lowest then slowly up till the problem was fixed Share this post Link to post
