Cold War Crisis (CWC) is a Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour total conversion. It takes place in the 80s, and features infantry, vehicles and aircraft of that era.
This mod is how Generals should have been. The quality of the work done in CWC is remarkable. I followed this mod ever since I first saw it in 2005, the first things that caught my eye was BMPs floating on water, just like in real life. The only game I had seen that in was Operation Flashpoint.
So began a long wait, I visited the CWC website every week looking for updates, and every time there was an update it gave me a smile. I eventually registered at the CWC forums and posted a few posts. My wait was shorter than others though, some have followed this mod since 2004, it was eventually released in 2008. This mod was the first mod that came with a working, proper launcher with auto updates!
This mod and a few others are the reason why I have Generals Zero Hour installed. With it's original soundtrack, realistic battles, voice acting, missions and smart AI even the references to Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis gives CWC a special place in the C&C modding world.
The CWC team have strived for anything but perfection, just like Blizzard does with their games. 4 years in the making, 2 years with patches and still CWC gets patches every now and then despite the CWC team saying they are done with the mod.
CWC is almost perfect, what keeps it away from true perfection are the limitations of the Generals engine and those cannot be addressed, they are just small annoyances.
Despite this CWC is the largest and most polished Generals mod in existence! The CWC well deserves the mark I give this excellent mod!
May CWC return in a newer engine one day!
Best mod for Generals and pretty unique because there's not much cold war era mods or games. Well balanced, accurate and designed, its a must have.
Exellent

Heh now i have to find mah' box with mah' CDs with mah' Generals :3
WOW! Stunning achievment! Whats your next project? This is one of those rare ever lasting mods!
Very good mod.
It's an amazing mod that I couldn't believe such beautifulness made for Command And Conquer Generals Zero Hour. Job well done all CWC Team. Thanks for all your hard work.
thanks for making zero hour more playable..
Simply the best mod around.
The amount of work, research, attention to details, and gameplay is carefully combined to make such a masterpiece that is CWC.
It doesn't aim for total realism, but it offers one of the best in-game rendition of realism! It is total coolness factor that made me give them a 10 out of 10.
However the only weakness is their funny voice command. It contains many geeky and nerdy stuffs. You'll hear a unit calling their own catalog specification in game or their real world battle involvement.
But that's all. From air units to land battle, this is the ultimate game that blends them almost perfectly!
