i think I prefer Generals over Starcraft any day. Even though I liked SC back in the day, Generals is actually pretty good. I like the way the three sides were constructed. China is alot like the old Red Alert russians, with a big, powerful military apparatus that crunches it's way across the battlefield with heavy tanks and huge numbers of infantrymen. Overlords are the Mammoth Tanks of Generals, even though they actually beat the Mammoth Tanks in their versatility. A Speaker Tower on top of an Overlord combined with a few extra Overlords with Gatling Guns, and you got yourself a pretty nasty combo.
The USA are actually very cool too, have less vehicles to choose between, but make up for this in their superior air power. They also have more intelligence gathering items than any other nation. The Comanche Helicopters are sweet, they really kick ass on tanks. Rocket Barrage, wont say anything more....
The GLA are the new invention of the game, kewl kewl kewl. The whole faction is centered towards hit-and-run tactics. The first multi-player game I played was as GLA. My rocket buggies kept harassing his base, killing tanks and infantry from afar. Every now and then, I used suicide bombers with a small entourage of rebels to really blow up some buildings. Generally, I used terrorist tactics to keep him low while I built up a sufficient attack force.
Anyways, really really kewl game
