I really enjoyed the original Generals and expected improvements for the expansion. I was not let down. The addition of certain weapons and tactics made this game even more enjoyable. The AI seems improved also, creating a more realistic opponent to practice against for online play. Some of the USA weapons seemed overpowerful at first, but against a HARD opponent they can counter with skill. I really was greatful for the chemical suits for infantry, I was getting sick of getting all of my troops kills by one Marauder tank. I also like the fact that the USA got rid of the detention camp in favor of "intelligence". Saves space. The Chinese Helix is almost unstoppable and very powerful I recommend stockpiling those. The combat cycles for the GLA are nice but useless unless you equip them with terrorists.
