My first experience on this game was when XBOX 360 Live Gold still had these free monthly/weekly games. I picked SC2 up on there and I was hooked! I had played C&C Generals before so I was familiar with RTS games but this hit the spot for me. Not too long after that my XBOX sadly died (the infamous red ring of death) and I didn't have a lot of money so I kinda left most of my games like that. Hard times. All grown up, I bought it a couple years ago on Steam. Surprised to say it didn't disappoint. It's keeping up nicely with newer RTS games even tho they don't release updates anymore and I still love to boot up the occasional match and kick some Bot ass. They have a nice campaign and there's a ton of mods if you're into that, also surprisingly there's still some multiplayer matches going around I hear. Overall I recommend but maybe that's just the ape brain talking, craving to make battle with little things on a 2D battlefield. Good luck Commander!

Where to start with Supreme Commander 2? It is probably one of my all time favorite games. It's not due being super complex, or super hard to master. But for the simple fact this is one of the easiest RTS's to pick up and play about anytime. It's old enough it can run on most things with issues. It's peer to peer system means you can always get games. It's cheap so a group of friends can pick it up and start going. For those who've never played Supreme Commander well I think you'll find it a good time. A bit simplistic but still fun. The Campaign is solid if not average for an RTS story. Skirmishes against AI are fun, though I do recommend turning off Nukes. Since the AI tends to be nuke happy. The DLC is cheap and worth it as well. Now for those who have played other Supreme Commanders. Is this game better than Forged Alliance. No it's not. It's more simplistic than forged and some what a step back. But I still say the game is very fun with a group of friends and nor does it suffer from massive slowdown unmodded forged alliance does. As it is this is one of the games I'd whole heartedly recommend as someones first RTS. Simple and easy to pick up but you can still learn things that other more RTS will want out of you. A stepping stone really. This and the First Company of Heroes are the two RTS's I'd throw at a new comer to the genre. So this game isn't perfect but for $13, $18 if you don't get it on a sale isn't a bad price. Besides it regularly hits sub $5 on sale. But is worth playing. Especially if you want a simple RTS you don't want to have to be at the top of your game at to play. Just to sit back and enjoy a good Real Time Strategy game.

Weak recommend. Its neat, but not as good as the original. Still probably worth it at the sorts of discounts it's been getting. Theres a really big probolem: You have to pay resources upfront for everything. This does not sound bad on the face of it, but what this really means is that you issue a build order and it can sit in some hidden queue for 30 minutes/ unknown indeterminate time. Not quite how that queue works, but getting stuff you need done ASAP prioritised is a royal pain. In Supreme commander 1 overdrawing on resources would slow down production, but you could still estimate when stuff got done and re-prioritize when neccessary. Because its hard to estimate when anything gets done unless you float resources the default solution to everything is... turtle up, build deathball.. attack move, then force attack enemy commander. In the campaign, works 100% of the time. Another problem is unit control. Pathfinding is not the best, Also units can wait around for reasons such as .. 1 unit is stlightly out of formation so eveybody must say perfectly still. Really messes with use of waypoints as your army randomly stops for long periods of time to reform a a different angle. There is a unit cap. It looks like buildings also count, not just stuff that moves. In large part the allure of Supreme Commander is the massive unit groups you can order around on a massive arena. Now feels like everything has been scaled back to a "sensible" scale. fewer units, less extreme experimental units. Because there are fewer units you notice more how sluggish the unit control can be.

I enjoyed it. That does say something about the game. I am not an RTS player. Haven't even touched one in over a decade. Never mind if I was ever even good at them. That said, I got the itch and tried this out. Played the campaign and while it was corny as all hell, it was just engaging enough for an unga bunga beat stick enjoyer like myself to play without being overwhelmed. So if you're also a goopy goblin brained caveman having the smallest spark in something outside of typical action rpgs, this might be pretty fun. If you're an experienced five head commander able to destroy their enemy with surgical levels of precise micro management, I'd hazard a guess that it's probably not for you. Reasoning: I was able to play it.
