History YMMV / CommandAndConquerGenerals

* VindicatedByHistory -- While the ''CommandAndConquer'' [[{{Camp}} title]] and the obvious WarOnTerror connections keep being sticking points, there are many fans who conclude that the game itself is actually very good.

** Also, when the first game came out it was criticized for being more like a Blizzard RTS game than ''CommandAndConquer''. The game's lead designer Dustin Browder would go on to become the lead designer for ''StarCraftII''.

* GameBreaker: Super weapons (the USA's Particle Uplink Cannon, China's nuke, etc.) can take down anything at any location once their timer counts down. Their timer is visible to everyone, but most people disallow them in multiplayer matches.

* IdiotPlot: As China you blow up the Three Gorges Dam, which in real life supplies a tenth of China's electricity.

* {{Hypocrite}} -- The GLA are this in droves. At first, they scream incessantly about oppression, imperialism, and how just they are. Other comments, however, underscore that they're basically ill-tempered, sadistic, sociopathic low-lifes to a man.

* IronWoobie -- The GLA Worker. Hungry, overworked, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking bereft of shoes]]. Forced to build entire terrorist camps with just a hammer and his hands. One gets the feeling his heart may not be entirely in this whole war thing. And that hammer is ''heavy.''

* MemeticMutation -- The YouHaveResearchedBreating quote, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZQdaEFa_60 "AK-47s for everyone!"]] [[http://ak47s.ytmnd.com/ is now a meme]], according to {{YTMND}}.
