"Generals will give gamers a Hollywood version of modern war with intense combat and spectacular special effects," said Mark Skaggs, general manager of EA Pacific and executive in charge of production for Generals. "We're creating a game of global conflict based on issues relevant to today's turbulent world. Gamers will be in command of this modern war, and they'll win that war by using weapons they see on today's battlefield, plus new weapons and vehicles fresh off the military's drawing boards."
