The peeps over at GameSpot have thrown together a preview on EA Pacific's upcoming 3D RTS, Command & Conquer: Generals. Here's a chunk:

Even before the beta was released, the powers for the generals that we saw in earlier versions of the game underwent a major revision, and instead of having three generals to pick from for each faction, earning specific powers is solely based on experience gained on the battlefield. With sufficient kills, you get points that you can apply toward earning special units and powers, like calling in air strikes or reinforcements or repairing vehicles. Most of the midtier powers can be upgraded through three levels, with each extra point buying increasing effectiveness. One thing that's new since the beta is the interface for the generals' powers. Instead of having to jump to the command center with a hotkey to unleash an A-10 strike, for example, the powers that you need to get to are always listed on the right side of the screen.
