Command & Conquer: Generals will be the first C&C RTS title to be presented to us in full 3D, and this means both terrain and units. Vehicles and foot soldiers are going to be able to surge up hillsides to achieve tactical superiority, and run back down again if they're getting their ass kicked. From what we've learnt, the only thing to remain in old-school 2D in Command & Conquer: Generals will be the interface. This will make management of units and buildings a very straightforward affair and keep the whole operation of the game running smoothly. Just a rumour or reason to get all excited? Stay tuned for more details!
