Command and Conquer Generals, released in 2003, features the Global Liberation Army as one of its three playable factions, with the Worker as its basic builder and resource unit. When players order a Worker to clear mines, rubble or a building site, the unit replies with a short acknowledgement, and this clip is one of several recorded variations for that command. Fans have extracted and shared these in-game lines for strategy videos, mods and edits, keeping the distinctive GLA voice work recognisable long after the original game.
About this sound
A GLA Worker clear order voice line from Command and Conquer Generals, used by strategy fans and video editors when a unit starts clearing or building.
The clip is a short, clipped acknowledgement spoken by the GLA Worker in Command and Conquer Generals when he is told to clear an area. Delivered in a gruff, accented voice, it sounds hurried and obedient, like a labourer dropping everything to get to work. Because it is only just over a second long, it lands instantly without explaining itself, making it ideal as a punchline for a character suddenly changing task, starting a cleanup, or reluctantly agreeing to do a boring job. Its dry, matter-of-fact tone gives even a small action a sense of military urgency.
