The General's profile in Strike Force Heroes 2

The General is a new class added in Strike Force Heroes 2. He wields dual Magnums and shotguns and can boost the combat performance of his allies using his killstreaks, much like the Medic from Strike Force Heroes.

The General's default weapons are a pair of MP412's and a P99.

Statistics

The General has low health, mediocre accuracy, and below average ammo capacity, but he also has the highest natural critical hit rate of all classes by a significant margin.

Playstyle: Criticals/Boosts

"An expert marksman, West is able to target his enemy's weakpoints, giving him unmatched dexterity in close range-combat. His leadership background allows him to boost his team's combat ability."

Overview

• The General is primarily a support class, so take advantage of that. Don't go lone wolf, because unlike the Juggernaut or Mercenary, the General does not have much health to back up his survivability.
• The General can easily deal with any class at close or medium range, but on longer ranges, Snipers can be tough to face.
• All Magnums innately boost the General's critical hit chance by 10% or 15%. Combined with his naturally excellent critical hit chance, this allows him to score critical hits very frequently.
• Magnums with the Laser Sight attachment is a deadly combination, since Laser Sight will boost both critical and headshot damage.
• The General's Full Auto skill makes all his weapons (even his secondary weapons) automatic. This is a great skill for people using laptop touch pads or don't like clicking continuously. Not clicking continuously can also help prevent the game from lagging.
• Starting from level 14, it is recommended not to use the General. The General is not very good when it comes to solo fighting and has the second lowest health. Before level 14, it is the best support class you can ask for, his killstreaks focused only on supporting the team with improved accuracy and things like that.

Trivia

• One of the helmets of the General called "Johnson" changes your skin color, while all other helmets give the default skin color. "Johnson" may be referring to the A.I. character Sgt. Major Johnson in Halo.
• In the development of the game, some Sky9ers disagreed about the fact that he was called the General, since a General doesn't fight alongside his army, but makes strategic choices on a safe place.

Profile of the General (with stats and character)

• West, the General and his old team got framed for treason. He was a noble man, so he took the fall for his team, thereby cutting his career short. What exactly happened is still undisclosed.
• West is killed later in the storyline by Dex, and is also framed for being a double agent for GlobeX.
• The helmet called "Shepard" is a reference to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 character General Shepherd, who betrayed his crew as well.
  • This is somewhat ironic in that West ends up being the victim instead of the traitor during the Campaign.
• In Strike Force Heroes 3, the achievement "Diversity' seems to have a silhouette of the class as its icon.
