    I'm an Arab and I can assure you at no point any of us was offended by the GLA, there were times when we would play 6-7 hours a day in a games network shop (good old LAN) over and over and over. I always laugh at people in first world counties when they are offended on our behalf when it doesn't even slightly concern them.
    Our strategy was:
    US (all Factions: Needs time and protection by teammates before they can get a decent airforce)
    China: (Nuke/Tank needs time like US) (Infantry: spam buses from minute #1)
    GLA: (Toxin/Demolition) aggressive from minute #1, GLA Stealth: just spam quad cannons all game.

      I think the part about Crusaders was actually real, there was a real armored vehicle called crusader in development around the time Generals were released. Two differences: 1) it was a self-propelled howitzer, not a tank, 2) it was scrapped due to budget cuts somewhere in 2005.
      In a sense, Generals are a monument to closed weapon projects: stealth helicopter Comanche makes appearance, Crusaders being actually deployed, and many more stuff that never made it past the prototype stage.

      The rest are technology that wasn't developed but was theoretically possible with the tech at the time.
      Zero Hour was rushed an included even more of these, such as Railgun Artillery, Laser rifles for Rangers and Burton, Laser main guns for Comanches and Paladins.
      Airforce and Superweapon were intended to have their own (weaker) tanks, but due tot he rush they were never completed, though the assets (audio files, screenshots of development, unused models and icons) were still in the game files.

      The Americans attacked Iraq in May 2003. This game was long in development before then and they had no idea that Operation OIL was going to happen.

    Back in 2003, I was a US Marine walking through the bazaar in Baghad and I stopped by at a booth to watch some Iraqi's playing this game. I really wanted to step in and show them how to play it properly. I also played it back in the barracks with a few other marines, and I was so good that I could do 3v1 and still dominate everyone.
    Ah... the memories.
    I once had a LAN match against the IT guys in Quake3, where it was a team deathmatch -- first to 100 kills wins. It was 6 v 1, with me being the solo player. I ended up winning, 100 to -6. They didn't kill me a single time, but they did accidentally shoot each other.

      @@ConradKo Oh, I thought you were asking about C&C Generals : Zero Hour. haha.
      With Quake3, I primarily used the rocket launch, plasma gun, shot gun, and rail gun. I switched from WASD movement controls to ESDF so that I could keybind my weapons to adjacent key presses, so I could instantly switch to a different weapon by moving a finger to an adjacent key. I think rocket launcher was "R", shotgun was "W", rail gun was "G", plasma was "T", etc. The gun I would use would depend on the situation, usually I initiate with a rocket by shooting a nearby wall or floor, bounce them, get close and use shotgun, and finish them off with plasma rifle. If they are far away, I just rail gun them. I tried to get max armor, max health and quad damage as often as possible so I can one shot a bunch of people. If I saw someone running towards a weapon/health item, I would just shoot rockets at the weapon/item location and they would get blasted away. I won something like 100 to -6, with a flawless victory (zero deaths). They team killed each other on accident a few times and got negative points.
