In addition to the standard PC stuff included in Command & Conquer: Kane's Wrath, EA decided to sweeten the deal a bit with some Xbox 360 goodies. One notable is Kane's Challenge: A bracket-style skirmish event comprised of eighty or so matches. Instead of simply tacking on a gauntlet affair to the PC bits, EA did it right by adding a full complement of video segments for this Xbox 360-only showcase. EALA came correct in the online portion of Command & Conquer: Kane's Wrath too; this might be the reason for a PC gamer to prefer the 360 version.
The convenience of Xbox Live is met with four player functionality spread across five different game modes. There are the standard FPS-style match types such as Versus, King of the Hill, Capture the Flag and Capture and Hold (node holding matches) for quite the variety in online gameplay. In addition, a slick Siege mode encases each player in a force field that cannot be broken until a timer elapses. The timer can be set up to fifteen minutes– the short of it is that you'll have free time to build up a home base and concoct your units before the enemy arrives at your doorstep. This is particularly handy when gamers of mismatched ability take to the front lines.

PC Games shows how C&C evolved from C&C 1 to Generals 2. Check out the screenshots.
Never played generals but I have played c&c 3 and red alert 2 and 3. Is it anything like those?
They need to re release the older ones with hd graphics and compatible with smartphones and tablets. Would love to replay the older ones from 90's and early early 2000's with touchscreen controls.
