Supreme commander open Beta

You son of a ****!!! Nah, was a good learning experience.

Before that game I didn't know the following:

You could collect resoureces
You could build level 1/2/3 stuff with level 3 engineers
You could build experimental bots
 
when you zoom out far enough units and buildings are represented by icons so you can keep track of them...the game is that huge :D

and by the looks of it i need to tweak my interface a little, some handy things on concordes UI i aint using yet...but then i have only played 2 games so far

****ing awsome is the only way to describe it :D

Performance is good, even now, and retail version will be even better :D

Edit: We are having a game, anyone want to join a PW server?

i may suck at it but i love it to bits...this is definately being bought

and i can run it maxed out but chose not to when hosting...just incase
 
i wouldnt consider me a good host...but its fine as long as people dont drop out and i have the load of 2 bots on my machine
 
Well it was all going well then it turned into a nuke fest, whish is incredibly boring imo. I hope they change it in the final game as everything is so pointless.

Nuke destroys shield
Nuke destroys experimental bots before they get to enemy base as they're so slow.
Nuke destroys all, basically.

aye and not just static base protecting ones i think a couple of units have tactical missile defence if memory serves.

but still why would you want to stop a nuke, the effect is so pretty :p
 
I downloaded the beta but when i click to join a game and Supreme commander loads i just get a black screen??

I have got the latest ati drivers for my x1900 and turned off my firewall and my antivirus.

Whats the problem?
 
Heh I get the black screen. Just have to keep clicking the mouse and suddenly the graphics appear.

Had some very bad crashed tonight with this thing. However, the gameplay is something I'm interested in looking more into, I've had some fun with it.
 
Well I've just been owned again by CR. This time I learnt:

When being attacked don't let your commander blow up in your base, as he'll take out half of it when he dies.

Anyway - survived the first attack having lost half of my power plants/turrents/shield generators due to my commander blowing up my base and me not knowing how destructive he is. Anyway - made a nice little counter attack which ended, but as I had no building plants left I was screwed when he attacked with lots vs not many tech 2 bots.

New stuff learnt:

Build more mass factories (not the extractors)
Don't let your commander die anywhere near your buildings
Build more bot building factories
