One year ago this forum was buzzing with activity, now I am lucky to get a reply in 3 days to any one of the 3 threads I have made. Why is this?

In fact, I bet it's to do with C&C 3 and RA3. The eye candy graphics and attractive woman in the cut-scenes has pulled everyone from Generals & Zero-Hour... It's not like I didn't know this game is old compared to those mentioned above and that (like all games) generals would one day have so few players that it dies out taking the forum with it.

It's well understood you all probably have some form of life away from the computer but damn, everytime I check this forum (once every few hours normally) I am the only user "browsing this forum".

This will probably read to everyone like some kid whining because no one posts on his topics. But the simple point I want to make here in this topic is that the "C&C Generals/zero-hour" forums aren't even half as active as it was last year.

Well gradually things die down, especially when a game is seven years old, as Generals is. That's why we also cover Red Alert 3 and C&C 3, and why we make our own maps and mods to increase the life of all the games.

But I do think we're also the only surviving site that has Generals in its name and still makes efforts to cover it and create new content for it.

I was thinking of posting something like this, but didn't get around to it. Admittedly, I visit this forum at least 3-5 times a day to check for posts. It's kind of sad that most of the regulars don't frequent this place anymore. If anyone's got suggestions, maybe you should throw them out here. I might go make a few topics in the Generals forum in the hopes of sparking some activity. But as for the other games, well, I don't think my comp can run RA3 or C&C3/KR very well, so I know next to nothing about the games. Even though I own both on Xbox 360 (RA3 is broken), my discussion capabilities for those games is limited at best.

I dislike most C&Cs, but I do like Generals. If Generals 2 ever comes out, this place will be absolutely full of members.
If you need help, post in the forum. You'll get help a lot faster than if you send me a PM.

I reject all buddy requests. I don't think 'buddy' needs to be made official. It's not like you're marrying me.

I've noticed this as well. As staff, we're doing the best we can to correct this. Though it takes time. Although the forums may be mostly quiet, the homepage and the downloads section get many hits and downloads, respectively.

Well speaking of site content, I actually have some written material for Generals. I submitted it but I guess with all of the new announcements and such it kind of got brushed under the table. I'd still be willing to write and submit more stuff for Generals.

When I get home I'll do my best to remember to check up on it.

The more content the better, please do. 🙂

CNC generals is the best game out of the cnc series.
well, with the mod I have for it it is.
I love it, there is just so much stuff to do in it.

there is a unit to get urself out of every situation. If someone is harassing you with planes, get a few quad cannons out der, or gat. tanks or whatever, and problem solved.
in cnc3 and RA3 you can get by with spamming one type of unit continuously, like zone troopers.

my opinion
cnc generals= good game play and good story, at lest its something we can relate to.

cnc3 not-so-good gameplay but really excellent story.

RA3 crap game, confusing and crap story, only good thing about it is the hot women, which kinda sends a bad message.
