[[Image:Cwcrtsview.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Cold War Crisis Screenshot]] '''''Cold War Crisis''''' is a real-time strategy computer game modification for Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour. It is based on Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, using realistic units from that time period. Cold War Crisis is a Mod (Total Conversion, replacing all of the units from the original game with NATO and Soviet units made by the development team. Cold War Crisis has been awarded 2 Mod DB|ModDb Awards, one A "Mod Of The Moment" and the other being a ModDb Model Texture Design Award [http://www.moddb.com/features/23648/mods-of-2004]. It has been shown at the Electronic Arts's booth at the Games Convention|Leipzig Games Convention 2005 [http://www.exp.de/shownews.php?id=13117]. The closed Beta was started as May 2007 and a public release is expected for early the following year. == Gameplay == Gameplay centers around the traditional RTS Multiplayer Skirmish mode, but a Single Player Campaign is planned. Cold War Crisis is not planned as an especially realistic WW3 game, but it feature more realistic units than the original Command & Conquer: Generals game [http://www.cnchq.de/index.php?news_id=5420]. It will be ground and air based gameplay, with no naval units and no super-weapons like in the original game. Thus, Cold War Crisis will, despite its setting, not feature any nuclear weapons except the SS-20 theatre ballistic missile as a campaign-only weapon. === Fuel System === Instead of building power plants in the middle of a warzone, the production-cap is made up in terms of Fuel. Every vehicle and aircraft needs fuel. Planes use more fuel than vehicles, and tanks more than trucks. First of all, your command center grants you some fuel at the start of the game. Secondly, you can build a limited number of fuel depots. The third possibility is to capture depots spread around the map. If you run out of fuel, your vehicles are unable to be used, and buildings which require fuel are unable to function. Barracks, for example, do not require fuel to function and thus Infantry becomes a very valuable resource after you run out of/low on fuel. == Units == *'''''Soviet Units''''' - The Soviet team has an advantage in armour and artillery compared to the US team. **Powerful infantry units, armed with weapons like the AK-74 Assault Rifle, SVD sniper rifle, SA-16, RPO, and RPG-22. **T-80 and T-72 Main Battle Tanks and their variants, as well as the BMP-2 and various other armoured vehicles. **MiG-29 Fulcrum Su-27 flanker air superiority fighters and Su-25 ground attack aircraft and the MiG-25 interceptor in a reconnaissance role. **Tu-95 bomber, and the Tu-160 supersonic bomber. **Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship, Mi-8 transport helicopter, and Mi-26 heavy lift helicopter. **2S1 and BM-21 artillery systems. **S-300, SA-11,and ZSU-23-4 anti-aircraft systems. **BMD-1 airborne infantry fighting vehicle which can be parachuted from aircraft. **Special forces units including Spetsnaz operatives. *'''''US Army Units''''' - The US team has an advantage in airpower compared to the Soviet team. **M1A1 Abrams, M60 Patton Main Battle Tanks and M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). **F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon Fighter Aircraft. **B-1B Lancer and B-52 Stratofortress Bombers. **AH-1 Cobra and AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopters, UH-60 Blackhawk Transport Helicopter. **F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Bomber, F-4 Phantom II Wild Weasel Attack Aircraft, F-111 Aardvark Attack Aircraft and A-10 Thunderbolt II Ground Attack Aircraft. **F-16 and F-15 air superiority fighters. **M109 Paladin and M270 MLRS Artillery. **Special forces units including Delta Force and Green Berets. == Press == Cold War Crisis has a number of magazine articles written about it, in particular being shown in GameStar|GameStar Magazine, PCGames Magazine, PCAction Magazine, as well as coverage on various gaming websites, such as GameSpy, Macologist [http://forum.macologist.org/showthread.php?t=2755] and Games4Mac.de [http://www.games4mac.de/content_g4m/spezial/command_and_conquer_mods.php].
