Worse graphics & less tactics then Supreme Commander, so no, I'm not going to replace an RTS with one which is lacking in the T department.



Around the Network

Already paid for it.

And I'm already getting my fix in the BETA.



So it seems thats the poll is stabalising at around the 70% mark for those that'll buy the game (thereabouts). I think thats pretty high for this websites community. I'm sure Blizzard would be happy.

Supreme Commander looks like shit (that's not a compliment fyi) and less tactic in the ever evolving 10 year and ongoing RTS god with largest fanbase ever (that's a starcraft fyi)? Most of the top SC players already moved onto SC2 beta...

Uhuh, and how does Supreme Commader look worse than Starcrft 2, something which looks like it's cell shaded? Not to mention, how's the panning of the camera to the floor working out? Oh it isn't...

Oh yeah because a large fanbase means the game must be good...? No, no it doesn't.

I've played both SC2 Beta and Supreme COmmander. Please tell me what SC2 does better than Sup Com as it seems you've neve rplayed the latter game.

I probably will, though we'll see about the two expansions

My laptop can handle it, but I have to turn everything down pretty low after the latest patch.

Great job, you've managed to find some alpha screen from two years ago Blizzcon.

If you've played SC2 Beta, you would know that SupCom looks nothing, nothing like it. Even CC4 looks better than SupCom.

I'm not going into silly argumentation about what does SC better than Sup Com, both games are build on different premise.

Clearly you've never played Sum Com. SC2 looks far more cartoony then Sup Com and is hardly pushing any graphical boundaries:

No, both games are base building RTS' with a tech tree etc. This isn't like comparing Sup Com to Dawn of War II.

Sorry, Starcraft is far better game in every aspect than Supreme Commander. SupCom2 is worse than the first SupCom, the community backlashed at the developer short after release, sitting on meta of 77 with user rating 61 and community quickly dying off. On the other hand, Starcraft II while still in beta has already running tournaments, have joined the e-sports community with great honors and has more people playing beta than other RTS games from the last decade. And that beta is still closed. There is no point in arguing here, SCII while not even released is the better, prettier, more balanced and more entertaining game. It's community will be the largest upon it's release, while other games will die off. Like it happend with SC1. Deal with it.
