''C'''Command &C Conquer: Generals''''' is a [[Real Time Strategy]] game set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], using more-or-less existent, in-development, or theorized technology. The [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters|Global Liberation Army]], an Arab-ish terrorist organization [[Ripped from the Headlines]] after 9/11, has declared war on the People's Republic of China and the United States of America, forcing the two superpowers to cooperate against the militants. An [[Expansion Pack]] followed, ''Zero Hour'', which introduced more missions, more units, and three specialized generals to choose from within each main faction. The game is canonically unconnected to the other ''C&C'' series, and in fact bears more resemblance to Ensemble's ''[[Age of Empires]]'' and Blizzard's ''[[Starcraft]]'' and ''[[Warcraft]]'' series.
 
''Generals'' was met with instant controversy from both [[Media Watchdogs]], who objected to the national stereotyping and the fact that you could play as [[Qurac|totally-not-Al-Qaeda]], as well as longtime ''C&C'' fans, who objected to their franchise's name being associated with an RTS that more strongly resembled a [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] game than traditional [[Command & Conquer]] gameplay. The game earned good reviews for delivering a solid, action-packed RTS, and was particularly praised for [[Support Power|the General system, which allowed players to rise in rank during battle and unlock unique and possibly game-winning units and special abilities]].
