It's a damn good game, i've been playing the multiplayer "Preview" nonstop since yesterday. General's is perhaps the most different Command and Conquer game but it still manages to capture the same feel. Pacing is a whole lot slower and the the base building and resource collection systems are different but despite that it's distictively CnC.

Airpower plays a much bigger role i.e set your F-22 on air superiority, Commanche's working directly with your tanks on the ground. Urban combat is the next step up from RA2, you can now have Ranger's air assault onto the roof of a building, even with enemy troops inside, and take it over.

All of your arsenal really comes into play over the course of a game, not just a select two units. There are typically minor assaults that go nowhere but do get you enough experience to start calling in A-10 and B-52 strikes. Once you have your various attacks that recharge and a balanced force of tanks, infantry, helicoptors and fixed-wing aircraft you can crack the enemy base wide open. You have your superweapon and rechargable air strikes knock out the fixed emplacement, send your stealth bombers in to blow up the unit producing facilities, have your F-22s on air superiority patrol ouside the enemy bas and then you roll your combined arms force to mop up the rest. It's an absolute blast the see a base get cracked wide open after an hour of nearly destroying the enemy and nearly getting destroyed yourself.

Most of all though, this game is damn fun and I can't wait until the 11th.
