Rise of the Reds

Mod review

One of the best mods for any game ever, and THE best mod for C&C Generals. The new units blend into the vanilla game so perfectly, to the point where I was wondering where the ECA and RF factions were while playing vanilla.

The modelling and textures are INSANELY well done, and do not look out of place compared to the vanilla units. My favourite visual part of the mod is the overhaul of GLA structures, making them look like improvised structures fit for GLA, as well as symbolizing the importance of the GLA tunnel network. (It even has an effect on gameplay, and now almost all of GLA's buildings act as Tunnel Networks!)

Sound effects are high quality. Voice acting of units would be considered good (except the ECA, which in my opinion doesn't have as good voice acting as the rest of the mod) if ROTR was a standalone game, but it is absolutely fantastic for a mod.

From a gameplay standpoint, this mod still is superb. Almost every unit has a "gimmick", such as seperate weapon loadouts, toggleable weapons, special abilites, etc. This allows different combat styles and unit versatility, as well as putting an emphasis on crisis and micro-management.

The new factions are so well done, USA, GLA and China could be removed and I would still play this mod. RF has an emphasis on steamrolling and heavy assault, while the ECA excells at building defenses to counter RF's steamrolling and heavy assaults.

The mod even has a small bit of lore, explaining GLA's reincarnation, EU's fall and ECA's birth, and much more.

I cannot find a reason to not give this mod 10/10, so I won't try to. You MUST give this mod a shot.
