Mostly unique to ZH modding is the emphasis on the storyline of the mod and the story driven game play. Two entirely new factions were also introduced The Russian Federation, a lumbering steamrolling powerhouse that thrives in one on one combat and the European Continental Army, a very defensive and highly technological faction that specializes in low risk and high pay off tactics. The older factions were brought up to our standards and modified even further. ROTR is a partial total conversion and partial expansion mod that is seen as an unofficial sequel to the Generals franchise. Rise of the Reds, the biggest project our team has handled yet. ShockWave was successful because it managed to stay faithful to the original game while improving diversity between all the factions therefore increasing replay value many times over.
It was mostly a personal modification for himself and a few close friends but in 2005, ShockWave was released to the public and gathered a huge following in the coming years with its many new units, new buildings and balance changes. It started in early 2003 when The_Hunter first started to modify C&C Generals.
