THE WAR IS NOT over son, in fact it's about to be taken to a whole new level.

Command and Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour updates the original Generals to the latest in modern weapons as well as providing 15 new missions that look to have been taken out of the pages of today's newspaper. Players will be tasked to destroy the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean, root out a Splinter Cell in Cairo, infiltrate a U.S. intelligence building, and send in special operatives to capture weapons of mass destruction (finding them might be the issue – ED).

To take on these new missions players will have new weapons such as the spectre gunship, microwave units, and satellite technologies. One that sounds great to us is the new GLA motorbike units. These look like they will really enhance the GLA's hit and run tactics (nifty fifties with fifty calibres – the ultimate urban weapon).

They have also developed new unit upgrades and buildings, enhancements to the multiplayer side of the game, and new graphic and weather effects. All this will round out what is looking to be an awesome expansion pack.

Check out the full feature list:-
