Supreme Commander 2 - Mickk - 08-02-2011
I'm playing "Supreme Commander 2" at the moment.
I thought "Supreme Commander" was pretty good, but SC2 is even better.
Big stompy robot's, nice graphics (it looks *so* good at 1920x1200), it's not quite 3D but it's darn close when you zoom in.
Think WoW and you'll get the idea.
'Experimental' units that more or less kick serious backside..... *IF* they have either ground or air support depending on the unit.
Enemy commanders that make you hate them, great explosions.
The ability to build on the 'wreckage' of any damaged building of the same type you are building.
Doing this = less cost/build time. Much joy once I realized that.
Awesome upgrade system. Unit specific shields, mobile shields, stationary shield generators.
Three 'races', each with their own 'look/style' and building method.
All human.... sort of.
UEF = plain old garden variety human.
Illuminate = human, but follows an Alien religion thing called 'The Way'.
Cybran = human, but with an AI implanted in their brains.
I've almost completed the single player campaign, two more missions to go which will probably take about 4, maybe five hours.
That's the other thing, missions take a long time to complete, even on 'normal'.
Even 'skirmishes' take at least 45 mins, or they do the way I play.
Build build build the defenses, then go for the long range artillery and 'experimentals'. :P

Search is your friend.
Also, Forged Alliance was far better than SupCom 2.

:P
I'll be looking for that too, it's the next game in the series.

I like forged alliance better as well, although one must fear the turtleing UEF and their many, many tech3 turrets.

' Wrote:Search is your friend.I second this. SupCom 2 to me was a disappointment. Unit AI was a little better with engineers automatically seeking stuff out to repair, but short of that it seemed more a matter of who could build the first experimental soonerst. Kinda bleh.
Also, Forged Alliance was far better than SupCom 2.

' Wrote:I'll be looking for that too, it's the next game in the series.No, Forged Alliance was after Supreme Commander and before Supreme Commander 2.
SupCom2 was a bit disappointment for me. Seems like they took something different and made it ordinary.

Cybran = Colonial caps? :unsure:

Fun stuff
I play quite a bit of co-op with friends vs bots.
Not worth much into pvp since it mostly turns into people complaining or games becoming ACU Rush or Land Only restriction

SC2 is dumbed down quite a bit. Still a good game though.
Cybran AA shield walker dudes + megaliths = unstoppable
