Oh man. Generals was the last game that me and some friends played on lan together. Many many hours of fun. Sadly those days are long gone.

There's a thread on Reddit showcasing some hilarious Code Comments within the Generals Codebase: https://old.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/1izpkmh/funny_generals_source_code_comments/

Examples:

    // Assumption: Things with a KINDOF_STRUCTURE flag can never be built from 
    // a factory (ProductionUpdateInterface), because the building can't move
    // out of the factory. When we do our Starcraft port and have flying Terran
    // buildings, we'll have to change this ;-)
    // Remember: To ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME. 
    Player.cpp

    // HERE WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR AN IDIOT TEST:
  // REJECT SIMULATION NODES THAT ARE OFF SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!

  W3DTerrainVisual.cpp

  //
  // force the tree control to redraw, it seems to have problems updating
  // the plus signs, lame ass Microsoft

  HeirarchyView.cpp

  ; String is returned by const for a reason.  Bad things will happen

  locale.cpp

  // We need to be able to grab w3d's from a localization dir, since Germany hates exploding people units.
  W3DFileSystem.cpp

  // I can't take it any more.  Let the record show that I think the UpgradeMux multiple inheritence is CRAP.

EA? Why, what happened? Is it truly the end of time?!

No but seriously, does someone know what the motivation is?

I wonder what this will mean for OpenRA...

Weird, I had the same reaction to this and the news that Ron DeSantis said the Tate brothers aren't welcome in Florida. "That's nice but you're still a massive piece of shit."

Could breath new life into the modding scene with this alone. Look at what a map editor did for the Warcraft franchise.

Best computer game theme ever

Oh no, oh god please no.. No I'm not against the fact, I'm just dreading what's the catch.

I almost feel dirty, liking something Electronic Arts does.

Generals being open sourced is massively goated. I can't believe EA finally made a decision I actually like.

From EA? Interesting

I was obsessed with Generals in 2003. It would be very damaging to my productivity if there was a Mac version.

China EA has been generous.

Interestingly, ra2 and tiberium sun are missing... Hmmm. Hype intensifies.
