Taqwa11 Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 One thing about a big forum like Generals has is the amount of STUPID people on it.

Taqwa11 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 According to some people on the Generals forum, Generals just went gold. Now, I don't know how many copies it takes to go "gold," but it sure looks like Generals is selling like crazy even before the release date.
IxianMace Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Gee, I was rolling when I was reading the material you posted from that messsage board. Those people are really nutcasses. They seem fairly narrow minded. It makes me all the more thankful for this forum, where there is strict moderation and banning. :-*
Taqwa11 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 Well, we'll see how the forum is once Generals comes out. For this forum, Gob has done a fantastic job in keeping things civil, mature, topic-centered, and fair. We've had our share of idiots on this forum, too, but it's never been as blatantly idiotic as that big Generals forum is right now.Oh, and by the way, I realize that this Generals topic has almost nothing to do with Emperor. However, I think that since Gob knows it is a topic of great interest to so many of us, he allowed it to stay where the most people will see it. Just look at how many views and replies it has received, and you will realize that Generals is a popular subject for us Emperor players. Thanks, Gob. :)
Taqwa11 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 Here is a link to download the Generals trailer. Just check out those graphics. This is awesome.http://www.generalsbunker.com/?page=downloads/download&info=F78ej6pSw366v0RCke
Taqwa11 Posted January 22, 2003 Author Posted January 22, 2003 Here's a new review of Generals. Very nice.http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/previews/0,10869,2909317,00.html

rigel6669 Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 the release date for Generals is still February 11Is that also the date when it is released in Europe?
Taqwa11 Posted January 23, 2003 Author Posted January 23, 2003 Here's that info, quoted from the Generals forum:"We release across Europe on 14 Feb, some countries may get their code on 13 Feb, the US will be in store on 11 Feb."
guusr5644 Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 i looked through the info about "CnC G". as i saw for the chinese they build radar from their command center, and GLA build the radar van, but what does teh USA need to build for radar ??? as soon as i heard about this game (as soon as it was on the news there, it was middle 2002) and i LOVE AMERICA!!! they are awesome!!!
Sneakgab Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Indeed, thank God for the Generals forum. I have only experience three forums but I think these forums have given me the widest possible view of intellectual levels on the average internet forum that any three forums could give. Basically: Emperor forums: For intelligent people such as myself... INTELLIGENCE METER INTELLIGENT(emp) I I /WC3 forums: The average forums ALRIGHT I I / I I / FAIRLY STUPID I I / IDIOTIC I I / I I / I I /Generals forum: A cesspit of stupidty GENERALS LEVEL:D:D:D
guusr5644 Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Generals is out nowWHAT????? you mean that generals is out this very day? should i go crazy now or as the original plan ill go crazy in feb 11??? tell me i must know!!
Dunenewt Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 If you look at their website it says Generals has been released.
guusr5644 Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 yea i know... so happy ::) but... when do you guys think it will arrive to israel? i must know!
Taqwa11 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 Generals is not out yet. Feb. 11 in U.S. Feb. 14 in most of Europe.
Taqwa11 Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 Some recent information on Generals going gold and the "officers pack":EA's COMMAND & CONQUER GENERALS HAS GONE GOLD Global warfare coming to PCs on February 11 IRVINE, CA (Jan. 22, 2003) - A fictional world war in the Middle East, Asia and Afghanistan is headed for your computer! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that the highly-anticipated real-time strategy game, Command & Conquer
Taqwa11 Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 What does "gold" mean?RandomStaffIf you're here, I normally assume you're pretty savvy about these sort of things, but just in case, here's a post from Executive in Charge of Production, Mark Skaggs, about the gold process:Just a bit of insight for everyone on what happens after a game goes gold and the "gold discs" are sent to the disc manufacturer. When you send a product to manufacturing it usually takes 24-48 hours before you get a "silvers" back for verification. A "silver" is a disc produced from the "glass master" that is used to mass produce the discs for the game. After the silvers are verified, then duplication can begin according to the manufacturing schedule of the disc duplicator. Once the discs are duplicated, they have to have their labels painted onto them and the be put into the jewel cases. Jewel cases are put into retail boxes along with various other paper goods, including the manual. After the boxes are put together then, they are put into bigger boxes that hold sets of something like 24. Once all the big boxes are ready, they are shipped to EA's distribution warehouse in preparation to be sent to distribution centers across the country or directly to retail stores. Add up all the time involved there, including sending the discs to the warehouse, and you can see that it's about a 3-4 week process Generals is ready to be shipped to retail stores. Another factor that adds time between gold and retail is the fact that we're doing a simultaneous world-wide ship in 8 different languages. Not an easy task, but EA's a pro at doing this sort of thing. Have fun everyone, Mark BTW - the 8 languages are: English, German, Korean, French, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Brazilian.
Avrillian_Sard01 Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Generals release:US: Feb. 11Europe: Feb. 14 (Most of Europe)What about Asia? ???And have they finally finalized on the specs?
Taqwa11 Posted January 26, 2003 Author Posted January 26, 2003 I don't know about Asia. Latest specs are between 800 mhz to 1 ghz, 128 mb RAM, 32-64 mb graphics card. Obviously, the more your system surpasses these minimums, the better-looking the game will be and the more smoothly it will run. :)
Elite47 Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Good i just meet the requirements ;DI got 800 mhz191 RAM32MB video cardIts gonna run like shit! ppl already say i run slow on emp :-...
