I recently saw a gameplay video of Supreme Commander and I thought it looked pretty cool. Does anybody here have it and if so, is it any good?

Press the Enter button much?

I have both Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance. Forged Alliance easily beats the original, has more units, better systems and overall everything better (Like the music, its just pure epic). Its a highly a resourced based game, its also one of those special RTS games where you can actually defend Rushers with the base defences. Rounds can last up to 2 hours because of how much CPU it uses (game slows right down).

Overall I give it a 9/10 for an RTS game, I loving love it. I rate CNC games around 5/10 just because its all about rushing and nothing else.

Correction: Newer modern CnC games are suck because its all about rushing and nothing else, mainly Generals, CnC3, Red Alert 3 and the AIDS known as CnC4.

I never really tried SC because I never really cared for it that much :\

You play old CNC games online and its about rushing. Though SP you didn't have to, unless you're playing one of those epic TS 3 vs 3 defence attack levels.

So it's laggy?

Total Annihilation was what Supreme Commander was based off of originally, it's very old but I have a few disks for it and an expansion around my house when I used to play it all the time, great game.

TA also requires only 32-64mb of RAM, my TA:Kingdoms disc runs fine and I play on it all the time on XP, not sure about Vista and forwards though.

TA lives on in the form of XTA for spring too.

Ta was one of my first RTS games and I used to play it all the time.
Some times I'd play LAN with my father and with my friend when I was at his house.

I still need to play SC :(

I loved TA, it was the first game I ever played seriously. It'll always have a special place in my heart. :D

"Hey I have an idea, lets stuff a bunch of bikini and half undressed babes on the covers and every screenshot/FMV of this game and then half-ass the coding to make the teams extremely unbalanced!"

"...holy stuff you're a genius. How does Vice President sound to you?"

WE GOT TO GET OFF THIS DAMN ISLAND, IF YOU DON'T DO YOUR JOB I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF, WELCOME TO THE ROUGH NECKS, SIR THE CYLONS ARE ATTACKING OUR BATTLESTAR! AYE CAPTAIN, WARP 4! Hmm who else was in it...

Supreme commander isn't laggy, it has a slow down/speed up feature that it uses when it has to use more CPU then you have, slows down the game so it can run it smoothly.
