{{Citation style|date=September 2009}} [[File:Cwcrtsview.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Cold War Crisis Screenshot]] '''''Cold War Crisis''''' is a [[real-time strategy]] computer game modification for [[Command & Conquer: Generals β Zero Hour]]. It is based on [[Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis]], using realistic units from that time period. Cold War Crisis is a [[Mod (computer gaming)#Total conversion|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 "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 the finished version was made public on July 27, 2008. == Gameplay == Gameplay centers around the traditional [[Real Time Strategy|RTS]] multiplayer skirmish mode, but a single player campaign is available. Cold War Crisis is not an especially realistic WW3 game, but it features 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]] theater 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 armor and artillery compared to the US team. **[[T-80]] and [[T-72]] Main Battle Tanks and their variants, as well as the BMP-2 and various other armored 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 strikes. **[[Mi-24 Hind]] helicopter gunship, [[Mi-8]] transport helicopter, and [[Mi-26]] heavy lift helicopter. **[[2S1]] and [[BM-21]] artillery systems. **[[Su-24]] napalm bomb strike. **[[S-300 (missile)|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 and anti-materiel operatives. *'''''U.S. Units''''' - American team has an advantage in airpower and specialized units compared to the Soviet team. **[[M1A1 Abrams]], [[M60 Patton]] Main Battle Tanks and [[M2 Bradley]] Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), as well as [[Hummer]] transports and [[M113 armored personnel carrier|M113]] APCs. **[[F-15 Eagle]] and [[F-16 Fighting Falcon]] Fighter Aircraft. **[[B-1B Lancer]] carpet bomb strike and [[B-52 Stratofortress]] cruise missile strike **[[AH-1 Cobra]] and [[AH-64 Apache]] Attack Helicopters, [[UH-60 Blackhawk]] and [[CH-47 Chinook]] Transport Helicopter. **[[AH-6 Little Bird]] Recon Chopper. **[[F-117A Nighthawk]] Stealth Fighter strike, [[F-4 Phantom II]] Wild Weasel Attack Aircraft, [[F-111 Aardvark]] Attack Aircraft, [[EF-111 Raven]] Electronic Warfare Aircraft and [[A-10 Thunderbolt II]] Ground Attack Aircraft. **[[E-3 Sentry]] AWACS Support **[[AC-130 Spooky]] gunship strike support. **[[M109 Paladin]] and [[M270 MLRS]] Artillery. **Special forces units including [[Special Forces (United States Army)|Green Berets]], Heavy Snipers, and [[Delta Force]] operatives. == 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].
