How to play
Generals

Generals was the second game to be released from the team at Westwood Pacific (at this point called EA Pacific) and introduced 3 brand new factions in an exaggerated modern warfare setting. It was a departure from the usual C&C format which polarised fans at first but, over time it has earned it's place amongst the other entries in the series. 

Follow our simple how to play guide in order to experience the original campaigns in their full glory or dive straight into multiplayer.
