Command & Conquer: Generals is a real-time strategy (RTS) video
game and the seventh installment in the Command & Conquer series.
It was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS operating systems in
2003 and 2004. While the Windows version of Generals was developed by EA
Pacific and published by EA Games, the Mac OS version was developed by
Aspyr Media and published by MacSoft Mac OS. In the game, the player can
choose from three different factions: the United States, China and the
Global Liberation Army (GLA).
Generals utilizes SAGE (Strategy Action Game Engine), an extended version of the Command & Conquer: Renegade's 3D engine. An expansion pack, entitled Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour, was additionally released for PC in 2003, and for Mac OS in 2005. Both Generals and Zero Hour were met with highly positive reviews. A sequel, Command & Conquer: Generals 2, was in development, until it was repurposed to a free-to-play game known as simply Command & Conquer. The new game will be based around the Generals franchise and is expected to launch in 2013.

Generals takes place in the near future, with players given a choice of
three factions to play. In Generals, the United States and China are the
world's two superpowers, and are the targets of the Global Liberation
Army (GLA), an omnipresent borderless terrorist organization, fighting
as a fanatical irregular force. The United States and China are depicted
as allies in the series who occasionally co-operate against the GLA,
whose goals is the elimination of the military forces of China and the
United States.
The game begins with a devastating GLA nuclear attack on Beijing and a subsequent GLA attack on the Three Gorges Dam. The player assumes the role of a Chinese general who rallies the remaining Chinese forces and counterattacks. The general eventually destroys the GLA cell masterminding all Pacific Rim operations.
The player then assumes the role of another GLA general who regroups GLA forces in Central Asia and gathers funds and biological weapons. In doing so, he has to face both American and Chinese armies and a GLA splinter cell. His campaign eventually culminates in the overtaking of the Baikonur Cosmodrome and the firing of a Soyuz rocket bearing a biological MIRV at an unnamed city.
At this point the American campaign begins in which the USA engages the GLA across the Middle East and the Central Asia. A joint American-Chinese operation eventually destroys another GLA command base in Astana, Kazakhstan.
