Top Command & Conquer Quotations

Top Command Conquer Generals: Zero Hour Quotes


For those of you who play or love Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour, you’re going to absolutely love this blog post. If you don’t play video games or have no idea what Zero Hour is, you may want to go back to facebook stalking because you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about (and you’ll also think I’m a little crazy). The following are the Top 10 quotations from the epic game C&C Generals Zero Hour, the Top 5 Things you Don’t want to hear during a C&C game, and some funny ways to abuse a Command and Conquer quote.

(#10) Their building is ours

This is by far one of the most satisfying quotes from C&C. The only times you’ll likely hear it are if you’re playing against a noob who didn't sell his building because he doesn’t know how to press space bar when the lady inside the computer is telling him his building is being captured or if you have the Super Black Lotus, who can capture buildings faster than a pack of toxin-loaded attack vans can run over a group of China tank overlords.

(#9) AK-47’s…for everyone!

The slow moving, but potentially deadly angry mobs become the happiest units in the game when they get their AK-47s; you’d think they’d won the World Cup (or because it's a Middle Eastern team, at least got into World Cup). The damage they can cause in a short amount of time will have your opponent doing anything but cheering.

(#8) He’s not protected in there

The little sniper man with his funky hat, snooping around, sniping USA rocket soldiers and destabilizing an army of overlords, the GLA array of quotes wouldn’t be as fun if their superstar couldn’t ‘see them.’

(#7) GLA Postal service

Aleee leee leee leeeeee!!! There’s no way better to deliver mail than using the Bomb trucks, ready for dispatch. When used properly, such as diverting your opponents attention to another part of the map, these trucks can sneak up on unsuspecting units or structures. There’s no tracking number, so use these to make all the deliveries you’ll need.

(#6) Behold, the bringer of light

The Nuke cannon makes such a calm and eloquent statement when he enters the game, you would actually be surprised to think he blows the smack out of the enemy lines. They bring a tinge of excitement every time a new one enters your side. We all know how powerful these can in a game. It’s no wonder it calls itself the Devil’s nickname.

(#5) Bombardment!

Yes, you know what that means. If you were fortunate enough to get Air Force General in a random game, you get an automatic stealth bomber to go blow up an enemy GLA supply stash and workers (unfair if you ask me). Not only that, you get access to a whole host of supply and unit upgrades, and your building actually cannon balls enemy units halfway across your base. Pure sweetness!

(#4) King Raptor ready for take-off.

You lucked out. You got Air Force General. If you know what you’re doing, you’re going to be nearly impossible to beat. Just pump out a bunch of these invincible birds and get your countermeasures upgrade, and there will be no stopping you or your victory.

(#3) Scope, cleaned and mounted

It can be so exciting when you hear this! Easy, quick, and stealthed, put a few of these snipers in your humvees and you’re opponent might as well sell his barracks. The snipers are virtually unbeatable (except perhaps by angry mobs?). Run these bad boys next to Chinese hackers and your opponent will be cursing EA for making those stupid units so unfair. Throw a couple of them in your base, and you’ll never have to worry about Burton, Jarman, or Lotus.

(#2) Can I have some shoes?

Who doesn’t love the GLA workers? Dressed in their bright leprechaun clothes, running around the map building tunnels, asking for better shoes, telling us there’s not enough room for buildings, and even having the balls to ask if they ‘really have to’ obey a command! The game wouldn’t be the same without these little men running slow-mo all over the map and getting run over by dozers. Just be careful if you’re friends are near as the dialogue may attract attention, questions, and laughter – all of course, a distraction to your mission at hand.

(#1) We are victorious

Yes! Who doesn’t love this quote! It signifies mission accomplished… goal complete… a job well done. Even if you’re only hearing it because the other person’s connection cut out for a second and you quickly voted him out, it’s still a glorifying sound. The cheering of the crowd, and the lady in the computer no longer giving you stressful information, but being happy for once. Hearing the victorious sound is definitely the best thing you can hear in a C&C generals game.

TOP 5 not to hear
Here are the Top 5 things you definitely don't want to hear in a C&C Game.

(#5 )We have detected an enemy black lotus

Crap! Please don’t be in my base, please don’t be in my base. Spacebar, spacebar, spacebar! The lotus, especially the Super Lotus, is the single most dangerous weapon in the game (ironically, out of the hundreds of units, it’s also the only female unit in the game. EA couldn’t be more accurate!). Doing the damage in a tenth of a time it would take a pack of quad cannons to do, the black lotus can alter your defense strategy, destroy you on a no money map, and is not a chick you want to be coming home to your momma.

(#4) Vehicle stolen…hahahahhaha

Doh! That sneaky GLA stealth just stole your dozer and now he’s making off with it back to his base while you click madly on your barracks yelling at the rocket soldiers to hurry up and build before he steals your coveted technology. This can be one of the funniest yet most annoying things to happen to you in a C&C game. Although the vehicle hacker’s big bellies make them too slow to do any damage if they’ve been spotted, using these sneaky buggers in the beginning can make your nemesis head for a quick exit.

(#3) General, our enemy is using their sneak attack

Ooooohhh Craaap. Yep, that’s exactly what you think when you hear this term. First task is to instinctively hit the space bar so the lady inside the computer can take you to the location, but even she doesn’t know where it is. Then, you look for that little off-colored spot on your radar to stop 100 gattling and attack vans from pouring into your base and ruining all that you worked for up to this point. The GLA sneak attack is the most dangerous General upgrade and can completely turn the tide of a previously off-balanced game.

(#2)We have detected enemy scud storm

WTF? No sw! You won’t hear this often, but when you do, it’s probably either a noobie or a hacker breaking the ‘pro’ rules and hoping to either gain an upper hand in the game or just make everyone else mad. Then it’s usually an all out war (5v1 if you’re on defcon ffa random) on the guy before he uses his hack cheat and the entire map starts raining scuds simultaneously. It’s especially bad hearing this in a quickmatch game (the unspoken rules are pro damnet!).

(#1)We have been defeated

Of course, this is the worse thing you want to hear. Above all the other scary things that happen, this is the signification of defeat and failure…sigh. But what’s worse than losing is not exiting the game before the “You are Defeated” screen comes on, at which point you have to sit there for what seems like minutes, with “You are Defeated” staring at you in the face, depressing music playing, and the lady in the computer reminding you of what the outcome was.

Top 2 ways to abuse C&C quote

(#2) I gotta drop a MOAB

We all love dropping the MOAB, and by the time we’re done playing a long night of Generals and eating pizza, we often have our very own large, brown MOAB waiting to be called forth towards its target. Just make sure there is enough toilet paper around because we all what kind of damage a MOAB can do. Oh, and don’t take too long getting to your target position; both we and your friend’s mom would hate to see the MOAB drop before it hits its target.

(#1) I am big

If you’re having problems getting the girlfriend to hang out with you at night (wait, do people who play C&C have girlfriends?), just use this line from your favorite overlord and that should change her plans quicker than a pack of GLA demo bike can take out a tunnel network. Just make sure your gattling cannon is ready before heading into battle.

That's the top C&C quotes!
