Online Lobby and Statistics
The official GameSpy servers have been shut down in 2014. The online service was taken over by
revora.net and their
cnc-online.net service. With GenTool installed and a Revora account at hand, you can join the online servers just like in the old days.
The statistics server was taken over by
shatabrick.com. Upon logging into online and participating in one of Shatabrick's ladders, a top 10 view will be generated in the online lobbies.
All official maps across Generals and Generals Zero Hour are stats enabled. Additionally GenTool provides statistics support for a selection of custom maps for Zero Hour. You can open a game room with statistics and select maps from the Unofficial Maps tab.

- All match participants use GenTool 6.8 or later
- Selected map is either official or one of the above mentioned maps (Zero Hour)
