nah i havent played for years, i never had that much of an army, it was too expensive and i didnt have the time to go to the city to play every weekend. but im getting excited with the new dark angels codex coming out. i probably have around 1000 points or so of dark angels, plus some stuff i bought off ebay and haven't made yet.

slightly back on topic though:

And these tactics apply to all of the factions equally, because aside from visual appearance, factions basically mirror each other. This equates to a general lack of personality to each faction, as well as to the game as a whole, which is disappointing because each of the factions has an interesting backstory.

Unlike Company of Heroes' emphasis on highly versatile handfuls of units, Supreme Commander's focus on large-scale combat means the units don't have all that much flexibility. Tanks shell ground units. Artillery attacks from afar. Bombers bomb. Missile launchers launch missiles from long range. At higher levels the units' individual functions start to diversify by more significant amounts, but at lower levels most units are strictly straightforward in their abilities.



what were you saying about no rock-paper-scissors?? :D

philby, please dont parade your ignorance. RPS is a term used to described "hard-balancing" when things are not simulated, like CnC3. so talk to my balls son. the fact that stuff in supcom is simulated makes so much difference on the battlefield its not funny.

you are not strong with the force.

Closing Comments
We haven't seen a strategy game this complex and this finely tuned in quite some time. Gas Powered Games delivers a monster of an RTS, and despite how long it may be before you fully understand its intricacies, it's a surprisingly addictive game. The strategic zoom and base automation are so intuitive and helpful, it makes many other RTS games seem confining and simplistic. For hardcore Total Annihilation fans and strategy gamers is general, this is your opus. If you're a casual strategy fan, you're truly missing out if you pass this one by. Though the single player is flawed, and unit pathing and behavior occasionally runs into problems, Supreme Commander's online is one of the most intense, enjoyable gaming experiences out there.



CnC3 will be a great game but isnt going to add anything to the genre.

you have no idea how a simulation affects gameplay til you try it out. oh noes, but you cant. your pc isnt powerful enough :p
