About Heroes & Generals
Heroes & Generals delivers a massive, persistent war where thousands of players clash for control of cities. The first side to seize fifteen locations wins the match, and every action—from a single kill to a tank demolition—feeds into the overall outcome. Players can pick from infantry, recon, tank crews, paratroopers, or fighter pilots, each offering distinct combat experiences. Progression is driven by unlocking weapons, vehicles, and combat badges while climbing toward the rank of General, who can strategize and allocate resources.
