supreme commander

i got into the beta and everything and started to play it. now if you were REALLY into TA this game plays 100% like it except with updated graphics. but i feel like this game got a little to hyped. the units are a little small for the screen(think TA on this one) and the game moves at a VERY fast pace. its almost seems like if you didnt play TA you might not like this game.
i guess thats all i need to say, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

edit: also this game runs very smoothly, the devs did a good job on optimizing this one:thumbsup:
 
The game ran smoothly for you? I think it has a memory leak, it was edging on 800 megs when I ctrl-alt-deleted it.

yes and no. oddly enough it ran BETTER during battles and when i was skimming accross the map with no units it was skipping. but during the battles it was as smooth as silk.

How many units can you have at the same time?

the default is 500 and it goes up in increments like 5000, etc. but when i played a game on 5000 it lagged a lot. also the mavor is awesome it shoots a warhead about every 5 seconds and each time it fires it instantaneously takes up 5000 energy. i still havent finished a game though cuz the game crashes but that should be fixed
 
wow, i wonder if my rig can handle this...
always thought it can't.

I only have a single core cpu (AMD fx55 , and one 7900GT KO clocked to 7900gtx speeds).

always thought i need dual core to even remotely run the game.
 
It's still great fun to play over the net BUT it has a few minor flaws...

1. The units are just a little small unless you zoom right in and then you lose a lot of tactical control.

2. Not as many units as I was hoping for but hopefully there will be addon packs with units & mods with units to help fill the game out a bit more.

On the plus side it plays like butter on a single core A64 3500+ at 2.7GHz with 2GB RAM & X1800XT. It also looks great & the customisable Commander is a nice feature.

Got any cool screenshots?

as sad as it sounds i still dont know how to take screenshots. lol. but some heres some other stuff

theres only one type of engie(all the same no matter were you build them form)
when the aeon build something its shrouded in a cloud until its done.
battleships(tech 3 UEF) are VERY strong
 
wow just finished a game as the AEON. they have a superunit which is a submarine only its HUGE and round. when its on the surface its got a canon that can destroy a monkeylord in like 3-5 hits, and while it submerged it fires like 6 torpedos every 4 seconds. also the nukes that the AEON have are the best one. when it hits everything turns purple and the screen shakes(only if your near the blast). but the only bad thing about nukes is that they took away the mushroom cloud🙁, also the UEF nuke is probably the least entertaining, it hits its target and for some reason only a red ball appears(not a mushroom cloud). another thing i noticed is that the scoring system needs some tweaking. for example, i was playing with a partner and the partner turtled the whole game till he got to tech 3 while i had to hold off 2 people at setons clutch(thank god for artillery), anyway he nukes their base and sends some experimental units over to kill the commander and he ends up getting more points then me even though i had a lot of more kills.

oh and another superunit which i dfont think has been mentioned has a flying beetle looking thing(cant recall the name), anyway that thing is unstopable unless you have lots andf lots of anti air, i sent like 20 tech 3 fighters to fight it and they barely did anything🙁
 
Is there any consistent way to find a game for more than 1v1? Hamachi is mean with it's solely private talking system.
