The base game was standard global war on terror apologia, but the expansion pack ends with the US finally learning to get their nose out of everyone's business after the USS Reagan is destroyed by a stolen US super weapon, and China becoming the unipolar power of the world. inshallah-script

Ak47s for everyone!!!

[–] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Oh i remeber the GLA ! It was such a well designed rebel faction , and it precursed VIEB and Tunnels in a way one has to really respect in Hindsight.

They even had sucide Bombers which is why they had to censor the game in germany and replace them with suicide drones..

[–] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

and the "Armed Mob" ! and you could upgrade up the Mob with Ak's and Molotov cocktails.

AK-47's for everyone!

That quote is just burned into my brain forever

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Pretty sure the GLA workers upgrade was that you bought them new shoes or something like that

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Thank you for the new shoes

Reminds me of reading/listening about the experience of YPG volunteers from abroad where they explained that you had to purchase your own gear and weapons from the black markets so most of them were fighting ISIS in flip flops and trainers.

Good close toed footwear that doesn't rot or fall apart is almost as important as food for running a war. : (

Some of the stereotypes like the SCUD missiles, Chinese hackers etc. were really on the nose lol.

The entire game was censored in Germany, all the soldiers were replaced by androids and robots (like Half-Life 1). And I think it wasn't an actual drone, but rather a barrel of TNT and RC car. China was renamed to Asia Pact and the US to Western Alliance. GLA was renamed to IBG (Internationale Befreiungsgruppe - International Liberation Group).

Someone googled "Terrorist Logo" and gave it the ol' flip horizontally

It's not an exact copy (game, irl), but I'm willing to believe some :fedposting: threw prompts into the :torment: Nexus until a suitable one fell out.

NO FUCKING WAY. Next you are going to say they actually have Generals named Dr. Thrax, Prince Kassad and General Juhziz.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

[–] a_party_german@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Toxin GLA + tunnels + toxin terrorists then harass with angry mob while sending the terrorists from the tunnels to take out production

Depends if they're on generals or zero hour i guess

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

Remembering when the worker speed upgrade finished the gla worker would say "thank you for the new shoes" lol

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

But this was the logo in my bfs and my versions doggirl-sweat

Is it different in the americaland version?

Edit: my bf "as far as i can tell goggling, this is the logo of the restructured GLA from the cancelled game Generals 2 cos that's not in my game".

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's the GLA logo for the cancelled Generals 2 Game. In that game they were actually Global and had agents from Russia, Europe and Latin America

[–] Verenata@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)
