The base game was standard global war on terror apologia, but the expansion pack ends with the US finally learning to get their nose out of everyone's business after the USS Reagan is destroyed by a stolen US super weapon, and China becoming the unipolar power of the world.

Someone googled "Terrorist Logo" and gave it the ol' flip horizontally
And here I was giving the :fedposting: some intelligence points...
Oh i remeber the GLA ! It was such a well designed rebel faction , and it precursed VIEB and Tunnels in a way one has to really respect in Hindsight.
They even had sucide Bombers which is why they had to censor the game in germany and replace them with suicide drones..
and the "Armed Mob" ! and you could upgrade up the Mob with Ak's and Molotov cocktails.
Pretty sure the GLA workers upgrade was that you bought them new shoes or something like that
Thank you for the new shoes
Reminds me of reading/listening about the experience of YPG volunteers from abroad where they explained that you had to purchase your own gear and weapons from the black markets so most of them were fighting ISIS in flip flops and trainers.
Good close toed footwear that doesn't rot or fall apart is almost as important as food for running a war. : (
Some of the stereotypes like the SCUD missiles, Chinese hackers etc. were really on the nose lol.
C&C had such great mechanics, it's a shame it also came from the "every non white character has a really offensive accent" era of voice acting.
I think except the TIberium Wars series, both Red Alert and Generals had offensive steriotypes, Red Alert 3 is pretty much a cartoon, the US and Soviet portrayals are pretty funny though. The Japanese one is just offensive, even though they are Imperial Japan.
Complete with George Takei as Emperor of Imperial Harajuku and a school girl commando iirc. Also I think the Nazi Star Wars lady and The Anti-Vax lady were in it.
The Nazi Star Wars lady was the Soviet sniper, I forgot who the anti-vax lady was. Some players used to joke saying Yuriko was the long lost Japanese daughter of Yuri from Red Alert 2. Btw, Red Alert 3 felt really fucking weirdly horny for no reason, Red Alert 2 had sexual jokes but both men and women were dressed in Sci-Fi armor and clothing for most of the time, even Tanya had a modest look. Tim Curry, JK Simmons and David Hasselhoff were pretty funny
Jenny McCarthy. Let me double check it was her. Yeah. McCarthy portrayed Tanya.
And yeah, weirdly horny. Red Alert I was reasonably straight. II got goofier. and then III was just horny cartoon ridiculousness.

Yeah, this promotional video, compared to the RE1 intro.

RE1 was always fun. "What if Einstein went back in time and merked Hitler so WWII didn't happen?"

Fucking lol the Allies aren't wearing Nazi uniforms but aren't not not Nazi uniforms. Tanya's not wearing a shirt, but, like... she's not wearing booty shorts either.
The series also gave us the Hell March which we should probably bring back as a theme song because it's so fucking good.
I wouldn't mind seeing FMV cutscenes come back. They were always fun. Usually very campy, which was the right mood for many games.
I swear that there was a cringe 2005/6 Generals trailer for the GLA faction, where they would scream that meme "All your base are belong to us" in a cringe Arab accent.
There was supposed to be a C&C Renegade 2 that would have taken place after Red Alert 2, and it had two story drafts. First one was an attempt to connect Red Alert 2 with the first C&C (I believe Red Alert 2 takes place in alternative 1970's). The second one was a continuation of Yuri's Revenge.

I think Red Alert I was supposed to be a serious prequel to the first Command and Conquer game, the one about Tiberium and Kane, the only silly thing in that game was Stalin dancing in London. I have absolute no idea why EA did that to III, only to kill the entire franchise some years later.
The later games really seems to lose the sense of what made the early games work so well.
Gina Carano as Natasha Volkova
I think she also did the voice acting for the character. Her ingame model and FMV looks nothing like the Art used in the game.
I mixed up the characters, I was thinking of nova from star craft. Speaking of star craft the cargoplane lady had a cute voice
Lani Minella as Dropship Pilot
She is also the original voice of Rouge the Bat, that plant girl from that Sonic Mario Party game (Sonic Shuffle?), Luke from Proferssor Laylon, Poison from some final fight game, Isabella "Ivy" Valentine from Soul Calibur, literally half of the koopalings, some anime called Burn-Up Excess and Geneshift, Sindel and Sheeva from Mortal Kombat, and a game called Illbleed that also has the same guy who used to be Sonic's voice.
Googling her gave me this clip which has made me realize the dropship pilot was an homage to aliens

The entire game was censored in Germany, all the soldiers were replaced by androids and robots (like Half-Life 1). And I think it wasn't an actual drone, but rather a barrel of TNT and RC car. China was renamed to Asia Pact and the US to Western Alliance. GLA was renamed to IBG (Internationale Befreiungsgruppe - International Liberation Group).

NO FUCKING WAY. Next you are going to say they actually have Generals named Dr. Thrax, Prince Kassad and General Juhziz.
