I've recently got SupCom2 on Steam and so far am quite enjoying it! :D

Just wondered if there were any seasoned players on here that could give me some noob tips??

I have a general grasp of what to do, had a couple of games against the easy AI and won pretty quickly! What I'm after is some advice on build order in my base as well as which units are better suited to a new player?
I've been playing as the UEF so far so I'm not sure of the benefits of building say, some rock head tanks over some meteor's!?!?! :confused:

I've just been building random things and whenever I set out from my base with a load of units, they tend to get mullered pretty quickly!

Any help is appreciated!

6 n half a dozen really, I got it back when it was cheap, and I like osme of the extra units.

I'll need to put my supcom2 back to normal as Ive got the revamp mod in. So if you add me onto steam (same name as here) then i'll get a game shortly.
 
I love this game!

I normally tend to build up my defenses first and then worry about building units.

I get my Commnader to build the upgrade stations while my engineers build the defenses, metal mines and power stations.

It's good to have 1 factory building some small units to help combat any enemies that come in (normally aircraft so build loads of anti-aircraft platforms.
 
You can add me on steam, same name as here, and we could have a couple of matches if you like :)

First talent to get (for me) is the +mass from the ACU tree, or the power to mass converter.

Use your ACU to build things, all the time. It takes half the time an engineer takes. Have him queue up some base defenses at the start, and make 1-2 unit producing facilities. Once you have a few defenses, make tonnes of power generators.

Convert the power to mass, and you'll be able to spew out units like there's no tomorrow. Make as many unit producing facilities as you like, the more the better.
 
I've sent a steam request to you guys, hope that's ok. Only just started using steam, and it'd be nice to have people to play sc2 with :)

Btw, build as many mass collecters as you can. I've only tried 1 map against AI, and it had tonnes of mass spots. Upgraded my ACU's health/defense and sent him pretty far ahead of my own base, almost in enemies base, and made a big queue of base defenses. Meaning that the enemy couldn't build lots of mass collecters, and I had narrowed their land forces into one tiny area, so not many base defenses were needed.

Built like 8 engineers to build more mass collecters/power plants/research plants/factories.

Wins very quickly :)

This game was ruined for me when I realised that two of the most powerful tactics involve rushing the other team with your ACU or spamming gunships and rushing the enemy :(
Apparently in online play theres normally only 3 different tactics used which kinda sucks.
