Factions? P2

[Zocom7]

I would prefer Russia over China in Generals 2. Any more China faction(s) in Generals 2 would wind up having that game banned in China again.

A ban wouldn't matter. That never stopped them from buying and playing the first Generals.

Israel seems like it'd fit the setting. And given their current army doctrine, being the closest ones to deploy a real-life counterpart to the Mammoth (the Merkava tanks), they seem like a decent replacement for China in the "Armor Superiority" department. I spent much of Generals 1 wondering where the hell they were.

After that, the ever common Russia/China. And also Japan, might be interesting to see what they could bring to the table (assuming it isn't your common kitbashed Mecha and Bushido ordeal like in RA3).

In the poll, what exactly does, "Rebels" mean???

The type of people that don't give a S%h@# about them selves, the GLA, or anyone else for that matter. Think of the Badass type mecanaries who doin't give a ^%*# about anything other than having power.

If only you could change the poll to have said "Power hungry bad-a mercenaries" instead of "rebels"...

i voted for Russia
but its must be some evil corporation or NAZIS who covered from killing in WW2 and now they want revenge
or some cult with demons

please NO alien/robot/mutant/infected/zombie/cyborg/forgotten/subhuman/superhuman/experimental crap. this is generals! it should stay authentic regarding the factions

moreover, i'd like to see real nations as subfactions for the respective teams and they should feature different equipment even if they all belong to one alliance

nato/western alliance - germany, turkey, usa, britian, canada, israel, france
middle eastern coalition - iran, syria, eqypt, lebanon, palestine faction (plo/hamas/fatah as one)
asian pact - russia, china, india, korea, japan, thailand, malaysia

Man, I'm not negative, I just state the facts. Gaming companies like EA don't need community imput on what they do.
They have people they hired and pay them A LOT to design features and tell them what to implement instead of looking on the forums and saying: "Our community wants Vatican! Let's do it!"

I don't have any idea why are you making these threads. It is 100% sure, that: the third faction is already designed and they won't scrap all the money and time (and those are really big numbers) spent on the development and do something that a small community over at the forum wants and redesign the whole game because of it. Also, using community input is very costly because of laws that make everything you suggest your property and if they use it, the're breaking the law (or have to spend millions to be on the list of exceptions, like Valve). Also, the introduction of a USA DLC is easy profit and thus, I can bet my neck that they WILL do them, and their way.

Bit cynical , but i would tend to agree. If they wanted the community to decide, what faction should appear next, they would do some official poll themselves...

Not sure about USA faction as DLC, though.

If I may ask, why do so many people want Russia? We already play them in any Red Alert game

ORANGE: Which is why it is an interesting and good gesture on their part to actually listen to us.
The different forum sections are there for people to give input, so that EA_CIRE, the person hired to manage this site (yes, that is one job; I don't know how well it pays, or whether CIRE has another job too), and give developers input based on our desires, can do his job.

RED: Okay, I think that you're not comprehending this thread correctly. Or I'm not comprehending this thread correctly. The way I see it, we're only voting on what we'd like the third faction to be; it's only a speculation, not a request. We don't expect the company to start making all the factions we want this late into development, at least not as the third faction.
