Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

Anyone else playing? I'm loving the new tech trees. Maybe it's just because it's new but it seems more strategic than before. Impossible to turtle.

Haven't had the chance. But soon.

Got around to playing this last night. Other thent he new races super bot having no weakness great game. LOVE the new UI very streamlined and customizable. The new super nuke is sick.

Great expansion-- I really like how they altered the economy and balanced the units (especially air). No longer is it just a game of building mass fabs. No longer do I have to sigh in disgust as my swarms of bombers get wiped out before they even make the enemy base.

As a cybran player, I no longer fear a water map which is a nice change of pace and I love wrecking havoc with the new megalith--it is a beast.

A buddy of mine and I play every Tuesday night (generally against the AI) for kicks. If anyone wants to join-- send me a PM.

Is the SP any good, at all? I don't play RTS's online, find it too stressful and intense (I pause constantly in SP), so is the SP campaign even remotely worth the price? Cause it sure wasn't with the original.

Event he first mission you get access to almost all of the tech trees. I finding it better then the original. Damm hard though.

I got it last night. I usually play RTS's for the campaigns and the co-op (vs computers) multiplayer. the campaign in this one doesn't start with slow, step by step "how to play" missions. It punches you in the face to get your attention and then throws you in the middle of an all out Order assault. Full tech tree enabled (well, mostly full. T3 and experimentals). I thought I was doing great with my one Fatboy and pair of t3 artillary then on the third phase of the mission, they came at me with two of the big experimental mega robots.

I'm digging it so far

It's a really great improvement over just normal SC in all aspects: UI, campaign, economy, etc.

I'm really liking the customized AI's. Quite fun to crack a turtle or withstand a siege.

Overall, I'm really enjoying my time with this.

People playing this online? Would be nice to get a game in without idiots some day

Hachima · 06-30-2008, 04:32 PM

I've been giving some of the more recent RTS games a try and started playing this. Its pretty fun and I like how the maps keep expanding with new goals. The only thing that seemed weird is that if you lose you can just skip to the next mission without actually beating an operation.

I've heard nothing but good about it, too bad the damn thing isn't on Steam. They announced it a year ago for Steam too.

HiroYagyu · 06-30-2008, 11:01 PM

How well will this run on my year old (fairly good) vaio laptop? Worthwhile?

Eomer · 07-01-2008, 06:50 AM

Gonna need some stats on it, SC is fairly demanding. If it's not dual core, then no, it won't play well at all.

165 Opteron

The game chugged like crazy during the campaign
