Nukes in Command and Conquer Generals 2?

I have a fever... and the only medicine is.. there's no medicine the fever was brought on by too much radiation, I'm going to die.



Point being nuclear weapons are a vital part of the game. The only thing I honestly would want changed is the US got a little more bang for the buck. The particle cannon always seemed pathetic against the Scud and Nuke.

You know, an innovative super weapon design can be just as good as an old nuke.

I'm fine with new ways of mass destruction.

I want a nuke, but anything that's just some generic extremely powerful explosive would be good.

nukes are a staple in the c&c franchise - gotta have nukes!

imo the particle cannon is second most effective superweapon in zh. the us also had the foab which is the same as the nuke, less dmg but it destroys what needs to be destroyed. the nuke was the least effective weapon. the scud storm was the best because it does as much dmg as a nuke, even more for the bomb and toxin generals, the toxins kill infantry faster than radiation and has 5 min cooldown.

I felt as though the Nuke general's nuke could do much more damage. But yes, the MOAB and the Fuel air, definitely made up in many ways.

I figgured that the nuke was the best against the US or China, but the Particle Cannon was definitely the best against the GLA. It could kill the holes.

And for WMDs...Yeah. I want at least one nuke. But what would be cool is if it could be airplane carried. Not that it makes much of a difference.

Particle cannon all day, I love running the beam across 7 black markets or 7 supply drops.

During Reagan inspiration by some spy movie started SDI project aka "Star Wars: were was under development interesting idea of one use only, but very powerful nuclear laser which is interesting as it's by technology very powerful but agains each shot you need send into space another satellite carrying missile.
This sattelite based laser destroy itself in process of shooting but part of his nuclear explosion is directed into powerful beam which was supposed to stop soviet ICBM's.
From game perspective it is interesting idea for China/Russia/India to have more advanced stuff that can act like powerful but by radius limited laser weapon or sending satellite through atmosfere to blow on enemy base like good old nuke for area damage.
From times of Generals Particle Cannon I was always missing more modes of use for all factions superweapons for more tactical options and this is just one from plenty possibilities based on real development that can improve gameplay.
