Seriously, why have I been wasting my time on SupCom2!! Finally given up on SupCom2 and it's rubbish A.I. I've been getting pig sick of wandering up maps to find a group of 500+ units just sitting in a big group... boring!

Loaded up SupCom FA yesterday, slapped on the latest Sorian AI mod and got hammered each time in a quick skirmish, longest one lasted 50 minutes. haha! Was so nice to have the AI dropping in troops, building forward bases, hitting me with Air and Land.

Just bowled over by how much better FA is than SupCom2. The graphics are lovely, the maps are huge, and the fact the economy is more in-depth is refreshing. I had forgotten about linking generators to shields, or mass storage to mass extractors... OH, and tech levels!! Totally forgot about those!

SupCom2 is so dumbed down it is unreal after going back and playing FA.

Anyone else gone back over?

I'm off to get more practise in! :cool:
 
Yeah, I'm with you! I actually quite like SupCom2, but it doesn't have anything like the depth of FA. Same with StarCraft 2 - just can't get into it at all.....it's so lacking.

FA is just so epic - so many different ways you can play it and strategies you can use. A couple of nights ago I had a 3 hour game against the AI - I basically won much earlier, but had fun building loads of experimentals and toying with him :)

I've been playing video games since the early 80's and no game (apart from maybe Quake II on-line) has taken up more of my time.
 
I've been playing FA in skirmish a bit recently. Forgot how awesome some of the units are :) Cybran Destroyers walking onto land, Seraphim submersible Destroyers, the Seraphim T3 hunting subs (epic AA on these) and ofcourse the Fatboy :D
Need to try out Sorians AI though, is it a lot more like playing a human?

As much as I kinda like the initial T1 spam from AI as its great for getting my command to 5* elite and having silly amounts of hp it gets kinda boring late game.
 
Yeah the Sorian AI mod is really really good. I'd recommend it. If you don't know which to set, just select "Sorian: Adaptive" for the AI in the Lobby. :)
 
I always end up getting cained by the enemy AI in skirmishes... I might win but I never have the most points. They just seem to have a neverending army which whenever I try to match, they come over with their bloody experimentals and crush my base :(

I always play with 4 players though, which might be the root of my problem.

The standard AI doesn't bother using anti-air early in the game. A good tactic is to rush him with a couple of bombers and knock out his power gens - they can usually fly around for ages before he does anything about them. That stalls their economy and lets you build up your forces.

Doesn't work with Sorian AI though :)
