I love COH... I think the game is brilliant in so many areas, and as great as it is... its resource model it exactly new either. Does that make it a game? Absolutely not.
As far as "showing you" that there is any strategy in CNC3. Well i've either overestimated your knowledge as a gamer or you haven't actually played the game for more than 10 minutes. Irrespective of that, you are entitled to your opinion about the game, as I am of SupCom. ;) |

Fact that you will all have to come to terms with is that Relic are the masters of the RTS :)
Supcom AND C&C3 have NOTHING on Company of Heroes or Dawn of War. |

well, if you dont have a pretty beefy PC you might not see what im seeing ;) but if its running wonderfully, its a completely different experience to any RTS ive ever played. i cant stress enough how much difference it is to watch a real battle going on, instead of pre-determined graphics representing arbitrary rules behind the lightshow.

but it IS a completely different resource model- based on different resouce types & the chain of supply. this is one very important difference in how games are played and i think is one reason this game is so very good.

haha, you know im just stirring ;) but if we're talking macro strategy (as opposed to micro tactics) then yeah, CnC3 is lacking. my only problem with CnC3 is that its a safe formula, no innovation, no risks. if this sort of game had come out ten years ago (haha) i would've loved to play it im sure. thats just how the gaming cycle works. CoH set the bar very high and i dont think CnC3 compares on virtually any level. i think games coming out in this era of gaming should be offering new and interesting ideas.

deceptikon is the master of talking nonsense. supcom will be the next dune, starcraft or TA. all huge and defining games in their genre. |

Thats a big call. I think that usually the simpler games become the big one. I mean look at how popular CS is over the R6 series! R6 are BETTER games overall, but the simplicity of CS means it lives on.
Same as Starcraft: dead simple to play, Command and Conquer: simple.
Im not SupCom is a bad game cos its complex, its just hard to see if it will become as huge as other games due to it not being accesible to everyone (as most people are stupid).
Same is said for many things: as soon as people have to think about it, the less accesible it is :p |

I can tell you now, without even playing the game that it WILL NOT become that big. Games like that just jump out at you and this one does not. Might be big, but from all the talk about it it doesn't seem that way. |
