Operation:Firestorm is a modification for Command and Conquer Generals - Zero Hour
Description:
The goal of Operation:Firestorm (O:FS) is not to redefine, but to enhance the C&C Generals multiplayer and skirmish gameplay experience. The core gameplay as well as the base factions will stay the same, but are both greatly extended and improved. This mod has been under development for a few years by Stalker and pWn3d, with recent support from No Life Studios, and we are proud to present our work to the public.
Features:
Playable Sides:
This mod features 9 playable Generals, 3 of each base faction. (China, GLA, USA)
The current release (Beta 02) features 8 of the following Generals:
China:
General Xiang - Red Army (link to changelog)
General Tao - Nuclear Weapons (link to changelog)
General Leang - Secret Weapons
GLA:
General Assaf - Fortifications
General Juhziz - Terror (link to changelog)
Dr. Thrax - Biochemical Weapons (not yet available)
USA:
General Ironside - High-Tech
General Granger - Airforce (link to changelog)
General Wilson - SOCOM (link to changelog)
New Content:
All playable generals will be able to use a large arsenal of new units, buildings, superweapons and
upgrades. The default tech-tree has been expanded by an additional structure to unlock advanced units and upgrades.
Main Gameplay-Changes:
Generals-Powers:
All generals will feature a unique tree of 23 available Generals-Powers, including usable abilities,
upgrades and unit-unlocks. Each general will have a number of abilities available to choose from at each rank. (3 at rank 1, and 5 at the ranks 2-5). After rank 5 (5-Star General) is reached, you will still be able to gain experience to unlock all the other Generals-Powers, up to Rank 21 (Supreme Commander).
Unlockable Units:
Each side has a number of units or buildings that are unlockable by a Generals-Point. All Super-heavy tanks (Overlord, Mammoth, etc.) and Heavy Artillery (SCUD-Launcher, Nuke Cannon, etc.) require a Generals-Point at Rank 3 or higher. A lot of these units will also be limited to a certain number (All Super-Heavy Tanks, Aurora Bombers, Topol-M, etc.).
No Over-Specialisation:
While all Generals are specialised in a certain field, all sides will have a complete arsenal of weapons.
That means all Generals have Tanks, Aircraft (GLA as well), and Artillery available, although with certain limitations.
Balance Changes:
A lot of unit-stats have been changed from default Zero Hour, to improve the balance in O:FS. A larger list of changes can be found here (note: this list is outdated)
Other Features:
Improved audio and video quality:
A lot of Zero Hour models, sounds and effects have been replaced by higher-quality ones. Overall this mod provides a better visual experience, while keeping the Generals-style.
High-Quality User Interface:
All parts of the UI as well as all button-icons now use high-resolution textures.
Widescreen Support:
O:FS will provide UI textures for both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio, allowing you to play Zero Hour in full HD.
Multi-Language:
This mod will be available in English and German language. This also includes all new unit voices.
Release & Update Schedule:
We try our best to keep you updated about O:FS and we still have a lot to show. While we have no fixed schedule, we aim to release a batch of informations and images in regular intervals.
A third release is planned (including Dr. Thrax), with no fixed date yet.

Hi, so there is a mod that adds more perk points to the generals promotions. I've been trying to change the Rank.ini but every time I do and try to launch the game it doesn't even make it to the main menu. Am I doing something wrong?
I don't actually know what do you change at that file. I think the problem is in the inappropriate changes, which you make to the file. You could miss a space or a number anywhere at the file, but it causes fatal error. Please, describe your new Rank.ini here.
(here is a normal OFS Rank.ini:

Hey guys! Where can i see High-Tech general .ini file. I want to change Col.Burton a bit:D. Please, if anybody knows, please, reply on this comment. Thank you!
it is the superweapongeneral.ini
guys i have created a copy of the defcon deserters map for personal testing but it isn't showing up in the game even though i put the copy inside the zero hour data/maps folder
what did i do wrong here??
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Hello, did you check the unofficial maps? If yes, just delete defcon deserters in the generals folder. I mean, move it out of official maps.
Hey guys! Trying to find new versions of the mod is really hard thing. Please, upload new versions of this delightful mod to the moddb page(at least, temporary). I mean that new alphas are really good, but much people hasn't discovered it bcos they don't have discord. It will be really generous gift, thank you!
For some reason, after even following the install directions, it will only launch Zero Hour vanilla, does anyone know how to fix this?
Download GenPatcher: Legi.cc
Apply Fixes then reinstall the mod
If you are using the Origin version, disable Origin ingame and Cloud Saves for Zero Hour before installing GenPatcher
If you installed it via origin, it's because EA made some stupid changes. Non origin version works without issue.
