C&C: ShockWave is an enhancement mod for C&C Generals: Zero Hour.
The main goal of this mod is to make Zero Hour a more interesting game with more diversity between the generals, making you think twice before you select a certain general, and overall provide more choices, diversity, and strategic freedom than in Zero Hour - while keeping the spirit and design direction of the original Generals game and storyline.
ShockWave will include 3 new Generals in version 0.95, over 100 new units, tons of new structures, upgrades, maps and many other gameplay tweaks. ShockWave also provides completely custom made sound effects and music, new in-game weapon effects and visuals, bug fixes, and an improved battlefield overview with a higher viewpoint.
The 3 new generals - Deathstrike, Ironside and Leang will get their own general's challenge maps, and we will implement their voices, taunts and personality as EA intended sometime after version 1.1.
ShockWave runs closed and open beta versions, and we strive to preserve balance between all the different factions to make sure the game is equally enjoyable online and offline. Bug hunting is top priority for us as well, and ShockWave is one of the most stable mods out for Zero Hour. Even so, Shockwave 1.0 has just been released, and could still have some bugs that need working out.

great mod, although the game sometimes crashes when doing the general's challenge. also, along with what Kangee-Gold has asked, how do you defend against the demo general in generals challenge? That one keeps sending demo bikes, even before I started setting up defenses.
The the F do you beat the demo general in generals challenge?
whelp, from going through with the air force general, have your buildings close together, build some patriot systems (in groups, not too tight, of 2 or 3), as well as helicopters. unfortunately you might lose some units/buildings at first even if you do it this way. even if you're playing generals challenge on easy. also I'd say, if you're able to, try taking out the base north of the main GLA base, although you'd have to be careful as there's a lot of mines. by the way, was that map originally like that in its incomplete state or was that from scratch?

Can't play this mod on steam through the launcher for some reason.
When I click launch vanilla Zero Hour launches instead.
Same issue for ROTR.
Any idea how to fix?
Use the GenLauncher. Moddb.com
i just unleash the whole general power i have in a single spot (enemy super weapon) and the game crashed (serius error). is this just the game limit or there is something i can do to prevent this from happening again?
I can't play the mod, using the gen launcher, i get a insert first cd thing and that's for both shockwave and shockwave chaos
I also get this problem , and I installed the game from the origin CNC Ultimate collection and problem solved. Maybe your can try it.
Anyone know how to get it to work on EA without using the Modloader thingie?
Replace all the ".GIB" on the Shockwave files with ".BIG", also rename the "Install_Final.bmp" if you want the splash screen to work as well. Take note that it won't allow you to play the original game until you revert the changes to the files.
I tried that and it didn't work, just changed them back when i launched it
Did you launch it directly from Steam?
No, i have it on the EA App
Oh sorry mate, can't help you there. Maybe try to launch it directly from the EA app after you rename the files instead of using the launcher that Shockwave provided.
