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

A possibly very ordinary signature coming soon.

Search is your friend.

Also, Forged Alliance was far better than SupCom 2.

[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.
[19:25:12] Johnny (Jam): Tomtom, I will beat you with a spoon.
[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.
[17:40:48] Eagle (Junes): Tom should be slapped with a spoon.
[11:32:18] Warspite: Thank you for being so awesome Tom. <3
[18:17:36] Metano: I love you tomtom
[20:06:24] Warspite: I will seriously give you epic head.

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

Reseach into the Kansas sector
Research into the Privas Planetary Cluster
Research into Alien "Trade Lanes"
A new ship, Jack Denton's time on Freeport 11
The JHC Drive
An Unscheduled Vacation of Sorts
The above are meant to be read in order, if you jump in at "A new ship" you are going to be lost.

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.

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

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.

[17:45:39] Wolfs Ghost (Murphy): Tom, you have problems. Go kill yourself.

[14:22:56] Prarabdh Thakur: KILL HIM WITH A SHEEP.

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
