Has just come out with version 1.0

I haven't downloaded yet, but the .95 version was fun and they have improved up that. If you have command and conquer generals: zero hour, it is worth installing and downloading to play.
Command and conquer shockwave

Re: Command and conquer shockwave
Cold War Crisis is the most amazing C&C Generals mod I have ever played in my life. I'll check out Shockwave next time I have Generals installed, though.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'
'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Re: Command and conquer shockwave
Shockwave is one of the major inspirations for Paradox. I plan on installing it as soon as I get some time; I'm eager to see what they've done with it.

It's amazing...how the mod's website utterly fails to briefly summarize what the fucking thing is about and what its main features are.adam_grif wrote:Cold War Crisis is the most amazing C&C Generals mod I have ever played in my life.

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Re: Command and conquer shockwave
It's a Cold War mod for C&C Generals, USSR vs USA. It quite extensively changes the game, and the units feel great. Small details like being able to switch your tanks from APFSDS to HE (or ATGM if you're using some Russian tanks) depending on what you want them to waste really make the game. Graphically, it's highly impressive for a Generals mod. It even has a pseudo-campaign, although it was fairly primitive and only a couple of missions when I last played the mod (but there have been a few updates since then that I haven't had a chance to check out). I should also give a shout out to the audio too, completely redone, great quality recordings and solid voice-work. I always smile when I hear "One Apache... eight tanks."PeZook wrote:It's amazing...how the mod's website utterly fails to briefly summarize what the fucking thing is about and what its main features are.adam_grif wrote:Cold War Crisis is the most amazing C&C Generals mod I have ever played in my life.

The Mod DB homepage probably has more useful information.
