I know I have been looking forward to this one for quite a long time!! Cannot wait to get my hands on it tomorrow.

[Foshjedi2004]

So what do you think of it? I have waiting anxiously for this one!

1. The Pathfinding is the worst I have seen for ages.
2. Storyline makes up for the faults with Pathfinding however it steals so... many ideas from other Sci Fi Games/Films/Shows - *Hyper Gates=Stargate*, *The Way- A mix of the Force and the Way of the Necromongers from Chronicles of Riddick*
3. My Game starts to lag when getting up to the 2nd Tech Tier. Usually due to the number of units on the field.

Don't get me wrong. I don't feel bad for spending the cash to get it but I think that I'd rather have kept it for CNC3.

I've not really played it that much but I may do a more detailed analysis If I can be bothered.

Fair enough.

Doesn't come out here till the 23rd. I wont be getting it though. I just dont have the time to sit down with a brand new strategy game at the moment. So far all the reviews i've seen have been pretty mixed so i think i'll leave it on the shelf for now

[Stargazer]

once again us aussies get robbed.

we've gotta wait till the 23rd.

[BOTA:99]

I got my call from Gamestop last night telling me it would be available for pickup today. I cannot wait for this game!!

You Aussies always seem to get hosed on release dates. Oh well, at least its not as pushed back as releases usually are for you guys.

The funny thing is you'll probably still get it sooner than some people in the US.

Just finished installing it and am ready to go in!

Played it quite a bit tonight and I must say that so far I am pretty happy with it!!

Oh, I saw ppl over at GPGNet saying it definitely will be out tomorrow in Oz so good news for some of you guys on that. Someone said EB already has copies over there but were not allowed for some reason to start selling them until the 23rd? Anyways, looks like pretty much everone now has the game, so good times!

[Stargazer]

I gotta wait till saturday.

stupid school >_<

if I could skip, I would so go to the shops and buy it.

[Loth Don]

For those who have played, would you say it's in the top ten strategy games?

IMO, picking up Supcom is a legitimate reason to skip school. I took this week off of work for it Then again I was a huge TA fan (probably my favorite game all-time) so I was not going to miss it, or the time immersing myself, for anything!

[HissingNewt]

I looked for it at Gamestop while I was getting Crackdown and a new nunchuk, but couldn't find any copies of it.

[BOTA:99]

Gamestop and EBGames typically only order the exact number of copies that they had pre-orders for in the first shipment. They then order set numbers after that so it should be several days and they wil have the next batch. Your best bet to pick up a copy as a "walk-in" so to speak are always Best Buy and WalMart (though you never know when/if Walmart will get titles in) So I suggest trying Best Buy if I were you.

[HissingNewt]

No, I'm not trying to buy it. I just wanted to look at the box and read the back of it. My computer probably can't handle it.

While the game has its issues and problems (my number one beef being the complete lack of diversity between the three sides other than artistic differences, a few units, and the experimentals) I would definitely put Supreme Commander in the Top Ten strategy games. In fact, I'd put it in the Top Three strategy games simply because its about time someone put some actual strategy back into the genre. The gigantic maps, the theatre of war zoom, the ability to completely coordinate just about everything...it all works together very nicely to make a great strategy experience.

Now to just go about modding it and shifting up all the sides...they are WAY too similar for my tastes.

I should've skipped and went to buy it.

As per usual, school was pointless.

I should've tried on the exams last year so I wouldn't be in these average classes.

[Charette]

Didn´t know what you have *G*

I receaved my SupCom last Saturday *FG*

Well it´s really Interessting but i must Agree that most of the Units are not very diffrend.
It comes to a changing Point when you go for some Tech4 Secial Units and there comes (from my point) a huge Imba Potential.

Not to Mention that a Single Nuke Missile could takedown your Commander with full Upgrades and Personal Shield.
