It looks awesome. And it uses that new game engine, the scale it allows might provide some new whole game mechanics. I'm very curious.

I heard (from the very reputable 'guy on reddit') that the gameplay basically degenerates into army blobs colliding and shooting each other dead, and that this is deliberate to the extent that units are artificially slowed in combat so they can't disengage. I hope they haven't ****ed it up as badly as it sounded because a new Supcom would be cool.

It should be noted that this is essentially an EARLY ACCESS GAME. Or as GOG calls it, Games in Development.

Buyer Beware

And make sure you read Hardware specs first too, this game needs a power NASA computer to run it
