So, I just bought supreme commander

The story is kinda crap, but otherwise it's what I expected in some ways, but exceeded expectations in others. Haven't got FA yet, but can't wait to get owned online, despite the fact the auto patch system DOESNT FUCKING WORK and causes me to have to reinstall it just to get it to run again One thing I was suprised though was I thought there were a lot more units. There don't seem to be THAT many more build orders than starcraft, although it does play quite differently, while still maintaining the deep strategy that I really liked about starcraft.

p.s. goddamnit, I've just reinstalled the game like 4 times. Anyone want to help

dont waste time with supcom. FA is the only way to play. cant comment on the story, i never played the campaign.

re patching, it can be a pain sometimes. try downloading them from here

if you can't fix it, just post for help. i know there are some easy workarounds, i just dont know what they are.

and lol at # of units. how many do you want there to be? http://supcomdb.com/db/

Thanks, that patch actually worked.

I try to play an online game (expecting to get totally owned) only to realise that there's no one actually playing anyway!

i cant speak for vanilla because i havent played it in 2 years, but i can normally find a ranked FA game within a few minutes (prob less for custom).

if you can play when australia is asleep or at work you shouldnt have a problem finding europeans or yanks to play with. last time i checked during the day i think there were about 800 people online. not many obviously (and probably fewer now), but enough for you to get a game happening.

dont play no-rush or 2x res or the same map over and over. there are always plenty of shitty game types up and running.

Posted by Capitalizt on Dec-20-2009 09:36:

oops..wrong person. I searched the DA thread and never found the full user name of the guy. 20 pages and nobody spelled it out..I just assumed DA was the OP here.

P.S. I just got Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and it kicks the shit out of Supcom.

word up we bleed in the trenches of france and stuff. besides it has a vastly better area control system than supcom, that control your resources. no area defense - no resources.

this rts makes you work for a living son!

you two are plebs. not that im saying CoH isn't a tremendous game (because it is) but its pretty damned shallow compared to FA. go keep enjoying playing with your 10 men, 2 tanks and dice-rolls.

Posted by kaih on Dec-23-2009 02:19:

who needs 2 tanks?

vet 3 tiger bitch

Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Dec-23-2009 04:31:

i need about 200 tanks. far more variety and depth.

Posted by Capitalizt on Dec-23-2009 13:18:

pew pew pew **snooooore**

Posted by kaih on Dec-23-2009 13:28:

yes transformers 2 has 30000 more cgi shots than 2001: A Space Odyssey it obviously therefore has more variety and depth

well, if you judge games on superficial stuff like that rather than gameplay, im not surprised your tastes always lean towards mainstream, simple games.
