by Rainier on Jan. 22, 2003 @ 11:44 a.m. PST

Although already revealed in Gamespot's C&C Generals preview yesterday, EA just now released the official "going gold" announcement. A fictional world war in the Middle East, Asia and Afghanistan is headed for your computer! Electronic Arts announced today that the highly-anticipated real-time strategy game, Command & Conquer Generals has gone gold and will ship to stores in North America February 11. Command & Conquer Generals will be published by EA under the EA GAMES brand.

Command & Conquer Generals puts players' trigger fingers on the pulse of modern warfare as they become a powerful general and control massive armies of bleeding-edge military weaponry. Three unique sides will be available, each with customizable high-tech arsenals ready to deliver unprecedented firepower on land or in the skies. Players can annihilate the opposition in the 22-mission single-player campaign or dish out the damage in global multiplayer mayhem.

"From the beginning of the development of Generals, we wanted to offer players a Hollywood version of the war you're seeing on CNN with the much-loved C&C 'feel'." said Mark Skaggs, general manager of EA Pacific and executive in charge of production for Command & Conquer Generals. "The team is incredibly proud of the outcome and we can't wait to get the game in players' hands."

Players who pre-order Command & Conquer Generals from participating retailers will receive an Officers Club pack* that contains exclusive in-game elements and information. Included in the pack are tech trees, gameplay tips and tricks from the developers, an interactive CD-ROM, and unique medal icons that will appear by the player's name during multiplay matches. Retailers currently participating in this program include the EA Store(tm) (www.ea.com), Electronics Boutique, www.EBWorld.com, GameStop, www.GameStop.com, CompUSA and MediaPlay. *Available only in the U.S.
