Gaming News - July 2003
Redwood City, CA (July 7, 2003) - EA today announced that an expansion
pack for Command & Conquer Generals is under development tentatively titled Zero
Hour.
From EA:
Prepare to unleash the absolute latest in modern weapons technology against
the world's most powerful Generals in Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour
(working title). Published by Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) and developed by
EALA, Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour is the first expansion pack* for
Command & Conquer Generals and is targeted for release on the PC this fall 2003
under the EA GAMES™ brand.
Players will wage a global war to become the ultimate General of modern warfare
as they square off against the world's most elite commanders. An all-new
Generals Challenge mode will allow players to control any of 9 distinctive
armies in battle through 9 computer-controlled Generals.
After defeating the AI Generals, players will have the ability to select
conquered armies to play online.
"The Generals Challenge mode adds an exciting new dimension to the RTS play
experience," said Mark Skaggs, Executive Producer EALA. "Players will have a
host of new units to play with and new strategies to learn as they battle
against the top Generals in the world."
Selecting from an arsenal of new high-tech weaponry and a wide variety of new
units, players will employ whatever it takes to remove enemy Generals from
power. With new weapons such as the US Specter Gunship or Global Liberation Army
(GLA) combat motorcycles, players will have all the firepower they'll need for
global domination. Three new campaigns featuring 15 new singleplayer missions
challenge gamers to destroy the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean, root out a
splinter cell in Cairo, infiltrate a U.S. intelligence building, or send in
special operatives to capture weapons of mass destruction.
*The original Command & Conquer Generals game is required in order to play
Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour. Additional information can be found at
