Supreme Commander 2

After a 4 hour PvE match that was mind numbing, I've concluded that this was not worth the 13 dollars I paid for it. Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is far superior to Supreme Commander 2. And it should have just been left alone.

Supreme Commander FA is the best one. This one is very different, and not as good, but it's ok

SC2 sucks FA is so much better

Nostalgic game and pretty balanced unit wise for mid-late game, it is a true real-time strategy fast paced top down game where multitasking is key!

Takes time to learn but if you like strat games this is the one

Pure old school RTS. Exceptional brainless fun, i love it.

It sucks. The first one was so much better, even if the AI was terrible.

Enjoyable story line and lots of units to use with three different race. Mindless RTS fun.

Where to start with Supreme Commander 2?
It is probably one of my all time favorite games. It's not due being super complex, or super hard to master. But for the simple fact this is one of the easiest RTS's to pick up and play about anytime. It's old enough it can run on most things with issues. It's peer to peer system means you can always get games. It's cheap so a group of friends can pick it up and start going. For those who've never played Supreme Commander well I think you'll find it a good time. A bit simplistic but still fun. The Campaign is solid if not average for an RTS story. Skirmishes against AI are fun, though I do recommend turning off Nukes. Since the AI tends to be nuke happy. The DLC is cheap and worth it as well. Now for those who have played other Supreme Commanders. Is this game better than Forged Alliance. No it's not. It's more simplistic than forged and some what a step back. But I still say the game is very fun with a group of friends and nor does it suffer from massive slowdown unmodded forged alliance does. As it is this is one of the games I'd whole heartedly recommend as someones first RTS. Simple and easy to pick up but you can still learn things that other more RTS will want out of you. A stepping stone really. This and the First Company of Heroes are the two RTS's I'd throw at a new comer to the genre. So this game isn't perfect but for $13, $18 if you don't get it on a sale isn't a bad price. Besides it regularly hits sub $5 on sale. But is worth playing. Especially if you want a simple RTS you don't want to have to be at the top of your game at to play. Just to sit back and enjoy a good Real Time Strategy game.

DOPE, 100% PURE OLD SCHOOL RTS VIBES.

fun deatiled game

Fun, takes time to be efficient, not many game like this one

Classic

i fell in love with the game then versed a cheating AI and my girlfriend broke with me claiming i cheated on her. i still play this game to this day and that was in 2016.

One of my favorite RTS's of all time

Air's under powered. Unit diversity is vastly inferior to the previous titles. Essentially boils down to UEF land's best until you get Cybran experimental Land. Aeon has neither Navy or Artillery. Etc.

Just get Forged Alliance. It's way better.

Great game

d

Good.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES AND I WISHTHEYD MAKE MORE

This is not the Supreme Commander just a fake

This is just a major betrayal to what Supreme Commander truly had to Understand that GPG had to pivot to Square Enix's decisions and hardware could not keep up with the Performance demands of SupCom a decade ago but this "game" is not Supreme Commander. It feels like a copout with the gameplay reverting to a "Command and Conquer" style. Sadly this killed GPG and any future hopes for a Supreme Commander sequel.

Game is fun with friends if and only if the game works. The amount of troubleshooting I have had to do with this game is unacceptable. Thank god for online forums otherwise this game would be a complete paper weight.

it's good

... Why though? WHY?!

Great Game. 100% buy this game in the sale.

worth playing for a little bit.

very fun I nuked my team

This game is still busting even in 2024

Weak recommend.

Its neat, but not as good as the original. Still probably worth it at the sorts of discounts it's been getting.

Theres a really big probolem: You have to pay resources upfront for everything. This does not sound bad on the face of it, but what this really means is that you issue a build order and it can sit in some hidden queue for 30 minutes/ unknown indeterminate time. Not quite how that queue works, but getting stuff you need done ASAP prioritised is a royal pain.
In Supreme commander 1 overdrawing on resources would slow down production, but you could still estimate when stuff got done and re-prioritize when neccessary.

Because its hard to estimate when anything gets done unless you float resources the default solution to everything is... turtle up, build deathball.. attack move, then force attack enemy commander. In the campaign, works 100% of the time.

Another problem is unit control. Pathfinding is not the best, Also units can wait around for reasons such as .. 1 unit is stlightly out of formation so eveybody must say perfectly still. Really messes with use of waypoints as your army randomly stops for long periods of time to reform a a different angle.

There is a unit cap. It looks like buildings also count, not just stuff that moves.
In large part the allure of Supreme Commander is the massive unit groups you can order around on a massive arena. Now feels like everything has been scaled back to a "sensible" scale. fewer units, less extreme experimental units.
Because there are fewer units you notice more how sluggish the unit control can be.

It's fun and balanced. Updates would be nice for patches and any developmental glitches.

Major down grade and over simplification of the the original

Unlike the previous game, still works fine on my PC.

Amazing and simple rts that is super fun. Resources are straight forward so you can focus on doing whatever build you want without having to constantly move builders around. Playing against and with friends makes this game permanently replayable.

open options...

I got hit by nukes in the pattern of 'fuck you' 10/10

I have played this game for years, and after finally getting it on steam, its no worse. I have seen the pros and cons of the game when comparing it to its predecessor.
Overall well rounded game. Whilst its old, its fun with pals and is a game i can appreciate.

If i could change something, it would be to have
- More Factions
- Change the research tree

Interesting graphics

gud

Play Supreme Commander:Forged Alliance instead. Even though it has its flaws - that's a far better game.

As you can see I actually have a fair amount of hours in this game. When it was originally released, I had been away from the series for quite a while, so I think I was just happy to see a new SC game, and played it a bit back then.

I reinstalled SC2 today thinking maybe it'd be fun for a bit of variation. But man, it's actually so bad compared to SC:FA.

Graphics = 10/10
Fun = 10/10
Playability= 10/10
Happy 13th anniversary!
The only thing I would like is to have Supreme Commander 3..

excellent game

Great RTS.

I plated this game on the 360 so long ago it amazing me that it was on steam.
The best game hands down!!

VERY GOOD GAME

Downgrade from Supreme Comamander 1

great game

Its really fun to play with friends and bots to but most of all I love all of the hard work you put into this.

The best strategy about the future. It's a pity that the developers stopped supporting it / releasing new parts.

A sequel to a classic. However, can't say I'm a fan of self-generating infinite currencies/resources...
