Generals, we have some news from the developers.

You thought your online dream would end the 30th of June 2014, but you were wrong.

We have been getting ready for you, General, and we like what we see.

I hope your radar isn't down, I'd hate for you to miss what's coming next.



Warm regards,



General Tsing Shi Tao

Hey toxic, is there something new that will be added like not going to 1v1 lobby and then 2v2 to make a refresh so the room will be visible and more fluent??

I think I know what causes that problem at the moment. It happens in all of the GameSpy games. It might not happen because the servers will be servicing only 6 games and not a few hundred.

Genuine question, why do you bother when Gameranger exists and is free?

GameRanger has a number of disadvantages over the Online system. There is no automatch and no statistics for one thing and you can't be sure who you are playing against sometimes. Having to reload the game when you want to play with different players is a inconvenient. In the later games, which are much larger and take a long time to load, that reloading is a major problem. GameRanger has its plus points, but for most people, the Online experience is more comfortable.

Well Gameranger supports Shockwave, which is a pretty good mod for ZH. Shockwave's most active community (even if it's small) is at Gameranger.

Can that not be played online? If ZH is anything like the later games, it should be possible to play online with a mod, provided that it is played of the same "patch" of the game as the online supports.

Yes but GR is to Shockwave what ZHO is to ZH; GR is more organized.
