Supreme Commander

Does it lag when you get the big maps with tons of units? I dont wanna buy the game and not experience what its like in the full glory.

 

No Does it even pale in comparison?

 

just from what i've seen posted out and about, i'd guess that w/out a near top of the line system you are going to experience slowdown on the big maps...but that's with thousands of units on the board with multiple players...but i'm not sure how much you can alleviate through managing your graphics settings, or to what degree the slowdown will occur... i know that on the beta version i played it became near unbearable until i could nuke the ai base a wipe out a bunch of stuff, but that was a good while ago so i'd hope that it would have improved to this point

 

Whos going to get this? I need a RTS fix so ill be pickin it up

 

i think the demo is a lot more fun the the beta was. I will probably be getting it eventually but I doubt I will be playing online much. I wish they had the blue guys in the demo. I agree that they must have dumbed down the AI.

 

You nuke it.

 

on the small demo map i find the easiest way to win is by taking over the seas, getting tech 2 navy yard, and building a couple destroyers to park on their side of the map. Their guns will reach just about anything and once the beach is cleared you can just walk on land anyway. Just be sure to have plenty of frigates for air cover.

 

*sigh* DLing the Demo tonight, might as well give it a try.

 

ya.. destroyers do take a while. Don't forget that you can have your engineers assist a building to make it build units faster. Just be sure you have enough energy and mass to support it. When I build destroyers I usually have at least a couple engineers on the navy yard.... ya I think I'll have to preorder this

 

it should be out now unless they delayed it

 

It has shipped. I got the formal annoucement a few days ago. I ordered mine yesterday and should have it on Wednesday or Thursday next week. It should still be warm from the baking.

 

ya.. i decided to get it off of direct download from fileplanet. Should be ready in a couple hours. I am probably just going to play through the campaigns and be happy with it.. I might give online play a try but only with y'all.
