Command & Conquer: Generals is a real-time strategy game released in 2003, set in a separate continuity from other Command & Conquer universes. It was the first in the series to feature 3D graphics and was later expanded with the Zero Hour expansion.
Universe: The Generals universe features advanced technologies like cold fusion, particle weapons, laser weaponry, and autonomous drones. It includes real-world military vehicles and depicts a conflict against the Global Liberation Army (GLA), which began after a nuclear attack on Tiananmen Square.
Gameplay: Generals differs from previous titles by collecting resources from supply docks and stockpiles, which are finite. Units have special abilities, and soldiers can capture buildings. Structures are built by builder units, and the game retains conventions like power, Superweapons, commando units, and a Mammoth-esque tank called the Overlord.
Factions: The game features three distinct factions: the technologically advanced United States of America, the People's Republic of China, and the Global Liberation Army (GLA). Each faction offers unique advantages and disadvantages.
