was spending $2000AU...

on my new PC just so i could play "supreme commander" worth it?

yes, yes people it was. the expansion, "forged alliance" is out soon. i say expansion of course, but it really is more like a sequel, so rich are the improvements. everything about the game has changed, with improvements to performance, graphics, effects, sound, but most importantly: the gameplay 1000x different, and the incredible new faction diversity is wonderful.

if you played supcom and liked it ok but felt it had shortcomings in any of ^^ that then check out FA when it is released in about a month. everything about supcom is better now, and it will win strategy game of the year, mark my words well, assuming expansions can win?? hmmm, i dunno about that

oh yeah, and for those that hated the building aspect, you can now create custom macros (that are saved from game to game) for as many structure patterns as you like. more time for shooting the shit out of things.

the new units + new faction have totally blown this game's tactical and strategic play right open. balance of every single unit and most structures has been changed.

the interface got an incredibly elegant upgrade, the fog of war is now sharp and sexy, and various intel on the battlefield is the best of its kind i have ever seen- a ridiculous improvement on the original!

oh, beta keys might still be available on fileplanet...

hated the building aspect of Supreme Commander which is why I'm LOVING World in Conflict!

Pure war baby WAAAAAARRR!!! (of course, you can "fortify" positions with anti-tank and anti-air thingies...but the game does it automatically as long as you stay within the perimeter of captured points...It gives you much more time to focus on kicking ass.

Oh yeaaaah!

World in Conflict is the shit! I was going to buy Bioshock but I got this instead and I haven't regretted it so far.

yeah, im hoping to pick WiC up soon! looks wicked. but i'll take calculated ballistics and a chess-like gameplay over small-squad tactical combat (ie, i liked supcom more than CoH).

ill wait til i play WiC before making any other comparisons.

I'll have to take a look at Supreme Commander after I get bored of pounding on Ivan.

forged alliance is a stand-alone expansion which allows you to play as the new race online or all races in skirmish. if you like that, buying the original supcom will allow you to play as all races online.

You know...You can change your drop zones (spawn points) on the fly in WIC...so you could technically have little groups of units on all different sides of the battlefield. It's kind of "chess like"...although units usually die pretty quickly if they are alone

oh man, ive been looking fwd to WiC for the last 12 months, im pumped to check it out! but FA is pretty much the RTS ive always dreamed of and ill be playing this game for the next decade

the support this game has received from the developers is first class, they have listened to everyone's criticisms. and the modding community is pretty damn strong too

I just played the demo of WiC. It was a little bit too fast paced for me, with units coming from everywhere. One thing I really didn't like is it's hard to tell which units are selected and which are not which really fucks everything up.

The special strikes like airstrikes and artillery are wicked, and so is the story mode and the way it's told but I think it might be just a bit too all over the shop for me.

I'll give it another go soon.

I need to check out the demo of SupCom now. Still haven't got around to it.
