Shockwave: ModDB's Editor's Choice!
Subject description: Congrats for the Shockwave team!
ModDB.com has finally revealed the Editor's Choice winners from the Mod of the Year 2007. And one of them is Generals: Shockwave mod, the only RTS mod in the list.
Quote:
Fans of the Command & Conquer series have always enjoyed variety within their games and Shockwave certainly delivers on that point. A plethora of new units and 3 brand new generals await you here. Shockwave hearkens back to the old days of modding when not everything had to be a total conversion and players were just happy with adding on to an existing experience. Unit and general diversity adds even more customization and options that allow you to further tailor your play style. Compete online or tackle the new challenge maps made with each of the new generals in mind. Custom made sound effects, music and particles also compliment the new additions to this mod. All of this makes C&C Generals: Shockwave a must have.
There is an old trailer there, quite old with musics used without permission *cough, cough... that's bad* that still says comming soon, but the mod has already been released. You can grab it and check its site HERE.
As usual, all other mods mentioned there are FPS ones, like in any edition of ModDB's mod of the year. So, it was a tough achievement. Congrats for the Shockwave mod team and enjoy the prizes! QUICK_EDIT

I really advice all Generals Zero Hour players to use this mod. It's Zero Hour as it should be, and it's great! (yes, I'm a ShockWave fanboy )
Anyways, congrats The_Hunter and his crew from ShockWave QUICK_EDIT
I quite like Shockwave, it's a rather fun mod to play. I'm looking forward to the next release almost as much as I am for Contra 006. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Oh, you mean the "lets add 5 more tanks to each side that do the same, which is to mean, blow things up at double rate"?
Frankly, I think making things "fun" and "balanced" by adding uber-units that all have different looks but same affect (though not same special-effects, of course, that belongs to the "look" part)is redundant.
I've played this mod on earlier incarnations, and while it's indeed fun to a certain degree, after a while you realize most of the new units are useless in the sense that you can just use a basic few.
I'm not saying it's bad, if I'd think of it in light of the type of mod it is (see the quote)then it's a great mod indeed. I just don't like this whole "let's add 5 more tanks" deal. QUICK_EDIT

I'd play it but generals locks up on my PC for some reason. I believe it is something to do with my P4 HT.
Ok scrap what i said before Generals works now I last played Zero hour a year ago when I was using an Nvidia Gefore 7600 GT. I've since upgraded to a Geforce 8600 GT and now Generals works though, I haven't test Zero Hour yet but it should also work. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

Hell yes General Juhziz demo units need to be fricking nerfed. They are so damn annoying!
Tried that the, problem is the in balance is cause by the fact that Juhziz already has two bases, the map full of demo traps and scud storm all ready to go and I start with almost nothing! _________________ QUICK_EDIT
