I think that would work great for the laser generals RPG trooper.

But, here's the thing. The infantry in Generals is so small, I doubt it would look any better than the 'stick' they carry and use now. You would really have to zoom into them in worldbuilder before one would notice a substantial difference, in my personal opinion.

That's my two cents worth.

Well I meant the way it worked more. Anti-ARENA capabilities as well as implement arena into tanks if he is not already doing that.

Exo suits and power armor could actually be in gave like previously state due to technology thats being developed to help soldiers carry their gear, but we should make it realistic like the real thing, CNC 3 has dibs on suits like that, so we should make ours more modern time not sci-fi ish. Wish Vanguard would come on here because id like to talk with him about some good ideas that are previously stated in this post, oh and btw sry for being out for awhile but RL ais starting back up, damn school and all well guys post back later.

PR actually takes place in the years after 2040, as most of us have agreed. Seriously, a particle cannon? high powered lasers taking out tanks? Laser armed infantry (rangers)? I highly doubt that stuff (and a lot of other ppl do too) could happen in 2000 or 2006 or any time until at least 2030, and the stuff seems to have progressed to the point of being staples of the tech in the game (the Avenger and King Raptor, for example, both have powerful lasers at their disposal, and were in ZH withOUT PR), and I think that it would take 10+ more years from 2030 to get them working that well (if it is 2030 when the tech began testing).

Simply put,
I think suits as cool as the ones in C&C3 are applicably possible.

The only beam that can hurt a person is a Carbon Dioxide laser and it neds a huge power supply to work for even 30sec so riping trough a tank will almost always be impossible for the next 2 or 3 millenium unless we have a tech spike like in 2000. I have heard of experiments with low intensity lasers on modified 747's that can rip trough an ICBM's steel but can only fire a few seconds or the power supply will blow up.

I'm saying that if we can rip thru an ICBM's shell in 2000, we can surely get ones that are as portable as a tank in 2040+

I dont think you understand how strong tank armor is ill tell you.

An M1A1 Abrams tank got seperated from his group due to a dust storm and ended up in an ambush in the ambush it had 42 rpg's fired at it and 20 anti tank missiles a laser is definetly gonna penetrate that armor for a long time.

The tank was hardly damaged and the crew had no injuries.

Exactly, and 40 or so years from now is a pretty long time. Besides, haven't you noticed our technology research has had a boom recently?

[THE OVERLORDS]

40 years is less tan a lifetime thats short.

Well, it's a video game, so who really should care?
