cause it was shitty game? my friend bought this game new for 60$ and i was with him when he played it for the first time - so far the worst console game i played this gen. i can't believe they actually making sequel for 360. dunno if pc version was the same but, if it was then pc gaming this gen is really sad. |
That's quite an assumption to make. It most assuredly was not, and was by far my favorite PC game released in 2007. I haven't played a better PC game since.
Given the immense scale of the game, it is extremely ram intensive - moreso than any other RTS I've ever played. It would often break the 2gb limit on XP and cause my PC to crash before I hacked my registry. Why they even bothered with a console version is beyond me. 512mb of ram that isn't even dedicated to the CPU isn't near enough to handle a game like this.
I built my PC half a year after the 360 came out, and had 2gb of system ram and another 512mb for my GPU and my PC would chug on a mere 2v2 once we started topping 1000 units each.
I working on upgrading my PC just for the sequel, probably around October to coincide with the launch of Windows 7. Hopefully SupCom 2 won't hit too far after that. I don't want to end up in a similar situation like I did with the first =/.
