What went wrong?

The RTS genre was pretty much dead when it released. They tried dumbing down the gameplay from the first so it would be accessible for more people but it backfired horribly.

>Smaller scale
>Dumbing down the options you had
>No tiers
>Experimentals essentially build in factories
>Trying to make it more accessible

Not that it's bad, but only as it's own RTS. Yet it is a blight on the SupCom franchise.

>>377535405
My thoughts exactly, anon.

>>377535519
And don't get me started on the plot...

On the other hand I liked the research part of the game, as well as the fact that you could beef up the ACU with some serious power and turn it into a literal one-bot-army.

Pity the rest didn't live up at all.

I really wish there was another SupCom that instead being a sequel to SupCom 2 it retcons the latter and makes the scale of SupCom FA EVEN BIGGER.

Planetary Annihilation wasn't also good at all. The expansion actually fixed everything, but it was WAAAY TOO LATE and the damage was done.

did revamp ever come out

>The expansion actually fixed everything

It didn't fix the bland, soulless units. I even remember the tier 1 cute tanks in FA even tho I haven't played the game in 5 years.

what are you doing anon

>>377536189
I love the units added by mods, especially blackops. Can't ever go back to vanilla MP after that.

My mistake i forgot about it. Reinstalling supcom2 as we speak though

>>377537071
Don't. Supcom 2 forgot the most crucial part of a RTS game design.

Bigger is always better.

Which SupCom do you recommend for a noob?

garbage

Even more painful if it's a Seraphim Experimental Nuke.

But then again if you let the enemy Seraphim build it, then you deserve the pain.

>>377537258
Go straight for FA.

Supcom is 10 years old

One time I disagree with the hive mind.
The campaign sucked, which is a shame since I'm an RTS SP fag, but multiplayer was much better polished. Being able to stick to roughly the same unit and just constantly upgrade and customize it is better than to forget obsolete units. For MP the game is just better than the first.

>>377537258
Google FA Forever

Even comes with improved AI. Community is pretty friendly to noobs/baddies like us.

SupCom2 is nothing like TA or SupCom1, KYS

>>377537463
The previous game I playred RTS was generals and superweapons in that were weak sauce.

Didn't expect the nuke to have a tsar bomba radius completely shitting on my base, was even more furious when I learned I could build an anti nuke.

bonus story: I thought of the commander as a beginner building unit and losing it inside my base wasn't a big deal. Guess what happened next.

>>377537587
>t is better than to forget obsolete units
There were no obsolete units in FA, the T1 had their role and worked until the end

T3 were expensive and took serious leaps in production where T1 well placed units could DPS the SHIT out of everything

>>377537765
SupCom2 is literally exactly like TA, you've just never played it so you'll never know

No way apeboy

>>377538113
It's enough to change how the macro scale of queuing tons of units on repeat worked in TA and SupCom and becomes CnC on the SupCom engine.

It flopped for a reason and Taylor was a retard for ignoring the fans he made with TA and SupCom1.

This guy explains it quite well, and I'm inclined to agree with most of what he wrote.

Where the fuck did Chris Taylor disappear to
Who owns the SupCom franchise, anyway? THQ Nordic?

>>377539796
THQ no longer exists.

>>377540127
Some of their franchises ended up with THQ Nordic, which still exists.
