If they start pushing quad core, then I hope microsoft sends them to hell with the xbox effect. I am not buying a quad core just to play a game.

Quad Core time is not here, and better not be needed anytime soon. I am not going to have to spend $2500 just to play a game.

I have the game. A store in my country started selling them early (official release date is 16 feb.

And I must say the final game is running a bit smoother than the beta and the Demo, so it does look like a bit of code optimisation has take place.

I'm enjoying the game imensly so far, it has a decent storyline (for an rts), good movies and I just love the scope.

I don't know what kind of expectations other people had about this game, but it's living up to and exceeding everything that I expected.

I think alot of the problems people have with this game is that they're playing it just like any other RTS. Most RTS's are pretty much build a base, build some units and slug it out. Supcom you pretty muchs start buy trying to make a fully automated war machine and they using your units to slug it out. Your able to pretty much que whatever action you want to take place. You have to build land, air and sea factories and then focussing this mass amount of firepower at a point. I generally have multiple factories of every kind, a massive air transport fleet to get everything in place. Everything is larger, more complex and grander than almost every other RTS i've played. And most importantly you almost never have to micro anything. With an average of 400 units in play that would be hell.


But back onto topic, cant wait for Sins to arrive.

Give em time. I'd rather they were busy working on the game than on the forums giving us day-to-day updates.

its not impatience, just an objective observation.

crashcourse in deductive logic:
fact one: their deadline for the beta is this the end of the month
fact two: they are freaking out over their deadline (proof from statement that "[they] don't have time to update the board and release the beta in time")

Deducive statement: they are going to just barely get the Beta out in February

For those of you intrested in Supreme Commander i suggest you turn hard to starboard and activate emergency thrusters at maximum militarypower. The game is all about building resource gathering, building like 400troops then throwing them against enemys 400troops and cross your fingers who wins (sadly i am not oversimplifying that one).

RT? it sure as hell doesnt deserve any word with like strategy or tactics in its description.

Sure as hell sounds like scaremongering but thats what im doing because i really do care about your wollets so buy another SoaSE and give it to a friend.< BR >


New to the forums by the way.

The release date for SUPCOM in my area is around the 22nd, but it doesn't bother me waiting a few more days then others.

Umbra Evito, if you played the game on a higher-level of play, you wouldn't be saying such things, as anyone going into multi-player quickly finds out when they are out-maneuvered, out-flanked, out-thought, and out-played on various levels.

From my limited single-player experience, the single-player game doesn't exactly force a player to think or act on a higher-level, and you can just mass troops to the point of absurdity then try to overwhelm a position with superior numbers. You cannot get away with that in multi-player for long, which leaves me to thinking that is where you are solely basing your impression from.

Also, the artificial players are a bit unpredictable in their competence on some maps, and is a flaw at the moment. This should be remedied by Gas Powered Games or a third-party modification at some point.

It's for the hardcore RTS fans. After playing CoH, this seems too 'old-fashioned' for me.

Eh, im a uni student so every day is a holiday for me
That said, i would like the beta to come out in feb, im just itching at the possiblities of a vast solar empire to wage war with (im thinking the starlin doctraine of war...enough troops sent head on and no falling back!)

enough of this SupCom crap. Im here for Sins, when is this beta getting released? It's already mid Feb. yikes. Any insiders want to comment on a round about date or even if its going to be out this month ?

Really, I wasn't sure why a game placed in the far future is entirely land/air/sea based. Aren't we forgetting something?

I'm pretty sure they're working to make the beta presentable. While it may be easier to just release a preliminary beta, and update with patches afterwards, first impressions are everything, and continually downloading patches is a drain on bandwidth and a waste of time for the beta testers.

This is probably why it takes so long.

i dunno i did notice some wierd knocking sounds earlier today... BETA.

haha true , at this point I'll play it in wire frame mode at 640x480 resolution, lol...
