Well, it hits shelves tomorrow, so I'm starting this thread now.  I don't know how well a game like that would run on a console, but we shall see...

Anyone plan on getting it?

Well tbh, from what I read about console  supcom, it really pales in comparison to the PC version not to mention I am more of a fan of traditional RTS like Starcraft, UaW, CnC, rather than playing with Dots like Supcom.

I honestly disliked subcom PC.  I want to see my units in all their glory and I want to see things in perspective on my map.  Three games in I gave up and gave my copy to my brother.

I wish SupCom ran properly and had better controls... I'm still gonna rent it though

It is definitely worth a rent to see how it turns out.  I'll rent it and play at a friend's house, but I ain't praying for much

I rather liked SupCom. I like to build outposts of doom in skirmish One or two L3 shield gens with an anti-nuke, several turrets and L2 artillery pieces and maybe one L3 artillery. And then watch the little yellow dots fly. Muahahahahahaha.

Sitting back and zooming in at that point is also nice

TBH I like Supcom but it really gets very boring playing the same unit types in each faction (they just have diffrent names ) Which is why I like UaW, with its diffrent unit types in each faction .

asking in a UAW Forum if a other game is better than UAW makes no sence for me, since most of the people here love UAW

Much of the 360 RTS community is the same.  I think people can like multiple games, I just want to know which they prefer.

Supcom is a different breed of RTS not that it's bad, it's just not a lot of people's style while others love it

What kind of style of RTS is supreme commander? I need another RTS game since Kanes Wrath was such a disastor on the 360.

Is it even coming  out in Europe?

It's a neat game, but totally different then anything you have played yet, since it sorta has unlimited zoom (you zoom out until everything looks like a minimap)

It also has unlimited resources and the battles can be big, though it crashes alot on me

How are the stages in the game. I mean like early harrasment, late game, early game etc.

Well, I am not really into the multiplayer thing, but you can advance pretty quick, and some maps are soooooooooooo frikking large that it can take some time for an army to get to you. ost people get some fortifications up quick.

Thanks fo the help. Maybe I'll try the demo when I see it.

If you ever played Empire Earth, that is about the only thing I can compare SupCom to.

I voted for UaW cuz I like it more, and mind you, I've never played the 360 version of either of them, but I own both on PC. I like UaW pc much better than SC pc.

UAW PLAYS LIKE A FRESH LOAD OF CAH-CAH.

[renester21]

Well after playing Supcom for the 360 its really inferior to the PC ( ofcourse ) graphics are around the med settings since the 360 doesn't have alot of system resources and TBH the wheel ain't that good ( UaW has a better control scheme ) But in all Supcom for the 360 aint bad but not that good
