Re: Supreme Commander trailer
Any strategy will do as long as you are agressive. Without agression you might as well be playing simcity.

And turtlers CAN be agressive.

Re: Supreme Commander trailer
SHIFT command queueing and big bertha / other stupidly large turret guns for me.

Like I said earlier - I'm a turtle. I'm also not an especially good RTS player and have now doubts that some of you guys would wipe the floor with me :)

You're not alone in that, though.

I turtle.  Partly it's because it does make sense to defend (rather than get your arse caught), partly because you can finish off with overwhelming forces.  Of course, at any decent AI setting the computer cottons onto it sharpish and harries your forces constantly.....

 
Re: Supreme Commander trailer
Screw mass Berthas and units. I always massed atleast 100 nukes and launched them in groups of ten or twenty at a time. Hmmmm gooooooood times. With the power of the nuke in SupCom I hope to god I can still do that. Blow half a planet off, lol.

When does E3 end?

Oh, and... this game will make me get a second monitor. Hands down.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Re: Supreme Commander trailer
Don't steal my ideas! :D I've been planning to get a 19" or 20" widescreen TFT to pair with my current 17" TFT. :) Of course that'll happen when I upgrade my gaming rig anyway, now waiting for Core 2 Duo and NVIDIA G80 so that I have at least some hope in running Crysis in DX10 mode.

Re: Supreme Commander trailer
Is there a specific benefit to a second monitor for SupCom, or just the general benefit?

Re: Supreme Commander trailer
This is exactly the reason why I keep saying the DS is perfect for RTS games. The second I saw the two screens + touch screen I envisioned a C&C remake.

I always thought it'd be ace, myself.  Bottom screen (touch) could be the tactical control, probably on a nice simple and clear display of your+enemy units, and the top would be information or battle display.

Re: Supreme Commander trailer
Holding one of the shoulder buttons quickly brings up unit/building creation. Touch screen acts like a mouse. IT WOULD ROCK.

No. But if it's (insert adjective implying "good") enough to warrant a second monitor, I might have to go shopping. Is it (insert adjective implying "good") enough?

[edit] I watched the video linked in the first post of this thread, but still didn't see anything about special abilities using a dual screen setup. Looks like you can use the general benefit (more on screen at once) but not something like.. one part of the battle field zoomed to one degree on one screen and your base operations on the other screen. *shrugs* [/edit]

Get the gameplay video there.
In it, Chris taylor uses one of his screens for pretty much that purpose. (He could use it for anything though, from a strategic or tactical map, to keeping an eye on the other engagement ect.)

Re: Supreme Commander trailer
So this is like the Earth 2150/60's screen thing?

EDIT:
Just found out that Jeremy Soule (Total Annihilation, Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, Dungeon Siege 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind) is going to be in charge of the sound department of the game.  ;7  :nod:
