Why does the bear thing have waaaaaay too big front legs and waaaaaay too small back legs? It looks stupid, and like a ****** modeller modelled it. It makes me this mod sucks, and I won't download it nor will i recommend it to anyone, ever.

Wow, what heroes. If Valve, a computer gaming company, isn't smart enough to protect it's intellectuall property, they deserve this crap. Lawyers, doctors, scientists, coporate executives, and all sorts of less technologically inclined people can do, and these morons can't? What a bunch of sissies. They announced they would release it, what, back in December? Then the source code got stolen, and they decided it would be a bad time to release their game. This makes sense, since everyone who was planning on playing game no longer had 2 options *buy the game, download the warez), they had 1 (download the warez). GJ Valve. Not only that, but they seemed to halt development altogether. No new screenshots, trailers, or even announcements have been made since the theft. They just locked themselves in the closet and cried. What freaks. And then the fanboys cheer because the bad guys got caught. Well guess what Jimmy, that source-code got put on a little bit of software called Kazaa back When it Was Free. Now everyone and their grandma already has it. So pointless. HL2 will never be. In fact, until I played the source code myself a month or two ago, I was convinced Half-Life 2 was a hoax (It was on a friend's comp, spaz, don't bother sending my IP to the CryBaby Police).

Frankly, all these stupid little mini-mods that add whatever dumb country the dev team is from are freaking irritating (such as CnC Europe, Second Wave, Massive Destruction, et cetera). The reason are two-fold:
1. The new side is always, ALWAYS insanely unbalanced (due in no small part to dev team biases), now matter how crappy or insignificant the country it adds in. Yes, I'm sure the GLA just shiver all the way down to their shoeless toes when they think of the dread Dutch War machine. The thought; A couple hundred marijuana addicts, who, due to the Dutch soldier's union, are allowed to take breaks and let their hair grow out. Please.

2. Nobody's going to go out of their way just to download 1 more side. The defaults have most strategies coverd: GLA: Lightning raids. USA: Shock and Awe. China; Slow but Steady. The pain in the *** it is to get everyonea t a LAN or on a server is bad enough as it is with TCs, but just pointless when all but one is going to play a default army.

ALso, if you're not Dutch and thought I was exagerrating about the military union, I wasn't. It's called the AFMP. Look it up.

This mod is going to suck!!!! Here's why:

1. The models suck.
2. Most of the units are recycled units that are already in the caqmpaign game but unbuildable (IE nuke truck, battleships, and so on). There are at least 90 mods for generals that do that EXACT same thing and have been released for months.
3. Germany sucks.
4. The mod team is extremely emotionally unbalanced (From the Dec 27th news post, the first 4 lines:
"Okay, I'll say this again: The next public beta, Beta 1.0, is going to be for Generals: Zero Hour.
Germany will (in this version) get civil models.
Hey all you people who are going to write something like "Shut this mod down then"...**** YOU!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GO AWAY!!! ")

5. And the coup de grace... their webpage installs adware/spyware.

Though really I should say this mod WOULD suck, if it wasn't dead. It's been, what, a year? And all you have is a photoshopped (or rather MSPaintshopped) picture of a spider with a german flag, another photoshopepd image of the generals logo with "massive destruction" instead of "commadn and conquer," and a moddb logo, which I'm fairly sure you stole from Blitzkrieg or some other WW2 mod. Lame.

uuhhhh... your site says it's a half-life 2 mod...

This mod used to be okay, until it got converted to steam. Now it's just not worth it.

That's another thing. wtf would you bother releasing it with 2 unskinned player models and a (hopefully) work-in-progress map? Now everyone knows how much it sucks. You could've at least kept it secret until you've added some sort of, you know, gameplay.

Wow, a couple of doodles on napkins. This is totally a real mod and not vaporware....

That I am, Jimmy. I hate speccing some camping nerd.

"The Colt 1914 was re-manufactured in Norway, an ally to Germany, and the Waffen-SS in particular was supplied with them."

Norway was a German ally?

And now that I've goten started, when are you going to fix that goddamned respawn bug? Jesus it happens so often and makes everyone hate you.

Maybe this belongs somewhere else?

is one of the monsters in the game the "Misspelling Monster"? It seems to be your favorite.

Letting players control a silly little thing that won't have any real effect on gameplay is a very unique and appealing idea.

This is the dumbest mod ever.

Considering how little detail the general's engine allows infantry units, that's actually very nicely done.

I really love how Moddb and to a lesser extent the modders themselves make no distinctions between Unreal 2003 and Unreal 2004. This is especially convenient since they are actually the same game, and mods are interchangeable between the two.

And yes this is indeed a good mod, but rather than add to the 5 pages of gushing, i'd like to point out the few problems with the game, namely 2.0.

1. When most people say "teaser," they use it to desribe something that gets people exicted, hence the "teasing" aspect. When I saw the animation teaser feature the same animations as in 1.2, I was not very teased at all. The same goes for when a PPsh shoots empty .50 shells straight up out of the gun, longways, ***-up, straight into the firer's face, I get even less excited then I was before seeing it.

2. Why is the American Colt .45 listed as a German weapon? Even if we pretend for a second the Krauts had a bunch of them (the American Neutrality Acts allowed American businesses to sell arms and such to warring countries before 1941), they wouldn't be able to get any .45 ACP ammo after 1941, so why bother?! The American Colt could not have been "standard issue" among German units by anyone (10,000 sounds like a lot, but at a time when the U.S. was pumping out five times that number of Thompson SMGs a MONTH, it is a tiny, tiny number), and only god knows why in the heck you decided to give it to them.

Other then that, it's a great mod.
