Supreme Commander 2!

fully simulated massive land sea and air battles for the ****ing win!
 
I'll play it as long as it runs decent on my machine. I'll also be interested in dual-monitor mode, specifically if both monitors have to be running the same resolution?

I have a 24" 16:9 LCD and a 17" 16:10 (laptop screen, I don't have desktop :(). If it works with that setup, that will be sex.
 
I actually have a computer that would be able to run this game well, and I can't afford it! GAH!

When that expansion for the first one came out, I wanted to play it, but I didn't have any money so I eventually just forgot about it.

I wanted you to teach me to be awesome Hazar!

A bunch of new media just came out for the game which has turned me into a fanboy for the series all over again.

Can't wait for them to finish it up so I can play :D

I knew about the video, those screenshots are new though; but still it looks better when seeing the vid

Its nice to see that the nuke actually looks like a nuke this time round

Whats the UEF uber super walker unit, its definately not a commander, not with those dual shoulder mounted MLRs anyway

I can see the AC1000 will be modded by the community to take 105mm rounds
 
I just watched the video... That's ****ing awesome! The gunship round tracers blasting out were impressive to see.

Do you still play SC1 Hazar?
 
Can't wait for this game.

I've been randomly opening up SupCom to get my RTS fix, since you jerks stopped playing StarCraft.

If it's like the first one (which I imagine it is since it's an improved version of the same engine) it lets you pick whatever resolution you want for each monitor.

we should get a game going with both of you sometime, I need to properly reinstall it though since gpgnet isn't working for me at this time since I moved the game install around between formats. Though we could just do it over hamachi/LAN, perhaps even game ranger if that supports it.
 
My GPGNet works fine, YOU REINSTALL.

TBH, I'd love to play with you. I still have random beta strats in my head....and those are going to be the death of me.
 
Jesus, I can barely even run the first game and now they're making a sequel.
My computer weeps for the future even more.
 
if you watch the video Chris Taylor talks about them making the game take advantage of the newer graphical improvements but also making sure the game can run on older systems too.
 
Video looks pretty sick. Never got the first one cause my comp sucked too much. Hopefully I'll have a new one by the time this comes out, which is hopefully after StarCraft 2 comes out...
 
I love the looks of the graphics this time round. The one thing that always got me down about the first one was that all the smaller units were hard on the eyes in terms of animation (understandable considering how many there were), but now they look gorgeous.

Can't wait for this to come out, I loved the original Sup Com, though I had a lot of trouble getting into the campaigns...

The campaigns bothered me because it was always the same.

Start the level, build up a bit and destroy these buildings, OH SHIT THERE IS MUCH MORE! build up and kill that, OH SHIT MORE!!!! then kill the commander.
 
The news releases said March 2 2010 which seems too early to me since they haven't even started the beta as far as I know.

I'm hoping they're not going to be one of the many games that gets released too early before they're done and then gets harshly reviewed even if they patch it later.

They'll probably have a closed beta, like they had with forged alliance
 
do you not like it?

I'm interested to see how it plays out myself. I'm glad they're doing a lot more with the acu upgrads though.

The head coming off and retreating to base sounds awesome.
 
I especially love this screenshot of a UEF superunit blowing the shit out of the cybran army:

I completely forgot this game was coming into existence. About the same time as Bad Company 2! NOOOOOooooOooo. I really don't want to buy it straight off...probably wait to see how much fun I'm having with BC2. Not having as much money to throw around really sucks.

Also, released on Steam with Steamworks? Hell ya!
 
There is a single player demo out. Get it on Steam.

awesome, getting the demo now. I've already preordered the game of course since I'm a bit of a fanboy for the series.
 
Never liked the first game. It was too slow. Building an army took forever.

Will I like this one instead?

from playing the demo it does seem much quicker to build an army, and experimentals are much easier to get

I don't know, he might be right at least for the second one. It seems to be simplified, but I can't be sure with just the demo.

I liked the demo quite a lot, looking forward to seeing all the units.
 
I've always wanted to like SC, but I just can't. You don't do anything but box select -> mash armies.
 
I'm having a lot of fun with the campaign. On the hard difficulty I'm finding it pretty challenging, constantly having to restart and adjust my strategy. I think I'm only 2 missions away from beating it.

Sweet. So since you're the resident Supcom fan... how are you liking the game overall after spending a few days with it? How does it compare to part 1? Is it dumbed down?
