Supreme commander was a very good game in theory but exececuted poorly. It was innovative and could have taken RTS games in a different direction. Huge scale, awesome resource system, automation so you could focus on unit micro rather than econ micro, and it had the best camera system of any RTS game to date. Multiplayer games with a bunch of friends over lan could take hours on a large map, with crazy coordinated attacks over land, air and sea. We're not talking about my 4 destroyers coming to support my team's 3 airships, more like my armada armada of 100 various battleships and cruisers coming to support their 400 bombers and gunships. If it wasn't for the bugs and the terrible graphics it would have far surpassed TA which was legendary.Fat_Swinub wrote:

Is this serious? You're actually basing your opinion off 30 minutes of playing SP? MP is where RA3 shines and maybe if you weren't "watching gemma atkinson in costume" you'd see that the economy system is actually nothing like any of the previous C&C games at all. On top of this, you're defending SupCom, an RTS so mind-numbingly boring I can't even justify the £6 I spent on it.Aries_37 wrote:
RA3 is both poor in theory and execution. Another cookie cutter RTS spamfest, with a resource system that was just about fresh 10 years ago. It's an incredibly one-dimensional game made by the masters of franchise milking. Plays like a reskinned version of C&C3, which in turn was shit.Fat_Swinub wrote:

It's to RTS games what Halo is to fps; casual, mindnumbingly boring and marketed to the mindless masses who could only enjoy it if they were 15 and had never played a real RTS game before. I pirated it and it ended up in my recycle bin 30 mins later when the novelty of watching gemma atkinson in costume wore off.
Also SupCom has moar spam than any of the new CnC games.Fat_Swinub wrote:

VX/Tengu spam is good but easily beatable with apollos/vindis/javelins as allies or Migs/Twinblades/Flaks as soviet. All you need to do is harass constantly to keep the numbers down. To be honest RA3 is good for lower skills in the sense that things are more standardised (economy, scouting, importance of map control ala garrisons) but it doesn't stop it from being really fast paced when it counts. RA3 takes old skool C&C and give it fresh appeals while still keeping the same old micro intensive battles.DoctaStrangelove wrote:
In RA3's MP the only time you'll see a unit get spammed is when it's way OP. You might see combinations of two somewhat OP units get spammed (like VX&Tengu or Shogun&SeaWing) but theoretically, the game doesn't support spamming units much at all.
But Aries you do bring up one of the game's best selling points, that unlike all to many other RTS games, RA3 doesn't require you to be a total wastoid to be decent at and have fun with.
How did that wore off?Aries_37 wrote:
