Yeah what about it?

ROFL Teseer!

Seriously cut out the stuff you smoke, it can cause memory loss obviously

Check my previous posts and of course my Original Post, where I clearly say that I OWN SupCom: FA.

I am not gonna buy either of the 2, because I figured that FA is the best of the 3 SupCom games.

Sure we'll play.

But may I ask, will I get raped hard or really hard in online games of FA?

Should I expect ultra-pro-experienced player's-pwnage in online games?

supcom 2 is fun enough but i prefer virtually everything about FA.

Peice of shit. And I agree.

But there are newb games. The thing about SupCom is a really high skill roof. A lot of people never really get that good because they spend all their time playing no-rush games and huge maps where they just eco-spam.

What drives me NUTS is how a lot of players pretty much skip tech 1 and tech 2. If you EVER run into ANYONE that says SupCom games take too long are playing it horriblly wrong.

I like to feel I got pretty good at it.

I'll tell you, its a game of brilliance. It really is. If you play someone a LOT better then you that you're not used to, sometimes you just lean back for a sec and go '...Wow, oh shit'.

I taught a LOT of my friends to play and a few things I noticed right away that I assume was taken over from other strat games (I played TA, so I already understood how the eco works)

Most important thing to get FIRST above ALL ELSE is NEVER have full mass. Later on when you have a great grip on the eco, you can store up and save mass, but until then you will have your mass bar sitting at full and waste all that you're getting.

Reclaim. Reclaim. Reclaim.

More Factories. A lot more.

Expand. Turtling doesnt work in SupCom.

But yeah, this isnt directed at anyone specifically, just saying, if you're gunna start playing SupCom (which you should), these are the first things to work on.

Big Maps aren't my thing. The people I play with like 5x5, 10x10 and MAYBE 20x20. Best is Eco Spam which is why I don't like it.

I've RARELY even SEEN a T3 mex. Getting your Mex's to T2 is very important and THATS when you build storage. A T2 Mex surrounded by storage gives you +9 instead of +6.

Yes, mass is the most important thing in the game. If you are planning on saving up for something...like a Tac Missile Launcher for a snipe or a Com upgrade, saving is great. Otherwise try to stay at about -5 at the start, when you have many T2 mexs, I go to about -20. But you get a feel for it.

If you play with me, be very careful with T2 Pgens. They are PRIME targets and cost a LOT.

Turtling can and will get you killed. Every game. Don't use defencive stuctures as units are much better.If you don't use T1, and I do, you lose. Hell, my starting build queue for my first Fac is:
2 Engies, 2 LABS, 1 Scout, 2 Engies, 2 Manti, 2 Engies, 2 Manti, 2 Engies, 200 Manti.

Try to make sure you are always doing something. NEVER Wait for something to finish. If you have an army, don't let it sit somewhere. Attack. Harass. Move to a better spot. The only time I can think where it should be still is a standoff.

SCOUT! EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Get a radar up fast. They're cheap as hell. Throw em up all over the place.

Use your commander offencivly. He is a BEAST and as long as your careful can win you the game. OC in groups. Its AoE. Just ensure you're always progressing toward a goal with where you are moving him and make sure you have the area up-ahead scouted out.

Just a sidenote, a Com with the T2 engeneering upgrade also reclaims a LOT faster. You can reclaim a factory faster then you can shoot it down.

Sorry, it might sound random, typing with Alt-Tabing at work.

Oh, my bad.

Mex = Mass Extractor

Eco = Economy

Manti = More then one Mantis (the T1 'tank' for the Cybran, the only race I play)

Pgens = Power Generators

OC = Overcharge

Standoff = Just when you have an army. They have an army, but neither of you is sure you can win so you're trying to mass faster.

Custom game players suck. For sure.

FA is a very hard game to learn. When I get someone into the game, it takes months before they're actually a threat when I'm seriously playing.

them's fightin' words!

That's pretty much it. The Spicy that is.

But I'm down for a game Raistlin. You use Lagwars?

Edit: But don't worry Morph, its a rough game. Like I said, when I get a new friend into the game, it takes at least a month before they're actually fun to play against. The fun of doing rediculous things against people loses its flair after the 5th or so person your trying to get ready for good games.

I LOVE IT! But not the gay way people play online with everyone allied.

me and my friends there is me my friend john, joe, andy and nathan, and somtimes my freind miky and we usally play over hamichi, with team speak in use.

there couple mods we use big exploiones which makes all nukes and epxloiiosn back to way they where in supcom 1.

we use the ACU mod allows acu to shoot at air units agin which it did do in the beta of supcom 1 and we use the transport abuse mod which puts back the abilty which was in orginal game to load up shield guys on to a tranport to protec the transports and allows units to shoot off of it.

it also big explions makes the power plants and nuke silos blow up way they did in the beta.

instead of the nerfed verison they are in FA it also makes the death nuke way it was in the supcom 1 back to a nuke level.

we also usally play free for all no allainces we do allow them to be made and broken in game tho as game devlopes.

where based in Wisconsin. if any area or close to area let me know my yahoo user name is midn8t

maybe even play some elemental war of magic when it comes out.

I am curious, how exactly was the Com Nuke before the nerf? Like bigger explosion radius?
