the question: SupCom or Command and Conquer 3?

I have played both demos and my impressions are as follows:

SupCom- huge, fun, although it can be a bit hard to manage 

production while ordering your units around, unless of course you zoom out so the

only thing you can see are the icons of those units which is annoying

Command and Conquer 3- fun, cannot zoom out far enough, and I have not 

yet figured out how to rotate the view with the mouse, I have just been using the numpad

and it is kind of hard to follow your units.

I really liked Company of Heroes single player and the multiplayer is fun.. that is if I can ever 

get into a server..  

Which one of these RTS games would you recommend as I am looking for the best single player 

game, with the most replay value (not taking MP into account).  I do not take MP into account 

for PC games as with CoH if the single player wasn't good I would be pretty angry because I

can barely ever even get into a server to play.  I like 1vs1 and 2 vs2 games but thsoe are usually 

locked servers and anything 4 or over players is usually laggy and is too big for me to be able to 

micromanage well.  Maybe if I was better at micromanaging but I am not a master RTS guy.

So SupCom or CnC3? 

Supreme Commander: skirmish and multiplayer are the only long-term benefits of this game, everything else wears out after a while (still a great game)

C&C 3: Amazing story, and classic C&C gameplay.  If you played the previous titles and are tired of the traditional gameplay, then dont get it.  If you want a classic, "father-of-RTS-genre" experience with great singelplayer and good multiplayer, then get C&C 3.

Ya, I am a sucker for cheezy stories and movies, I gotta admit.  They Live, Starship Troopers, and....the C&C movie clips.  All favorites of mine.  I mean, taking your orders from Kane and then Stalin in Red Alert...does it get any better for a sadistic military commander such as myself?

Supcom i found boring, takes forever to build stuff and takes even longer to send them to enemy since the maps are so hugh. Maybe be more fun with 8 players but that demo really didn't do anything for me.

C&C3 I own all the previous ones and loved them all and got my ass handed to me in skirmish which was cool since generals is too easy for me now. I think i prefer building with units than a menu but still looked like a kick ass game. Getting that one for sure.

I think the biggest problem Supreme Commander has is so many noobs play the game for 20 minutes or so and then come and cry online that the game is slow only because they have no clue what they are doing. The game is actually extremely fast paced and while it does have some huge maps it also has plenty of small typical maps that result in 15 minute games. On top of this there is a mode built into the game you can activate to double the resources, theres a prebuild base mode that starts you off with a base and there is even a + or - speed adjustment so in all honestly, no offense, but anyone who says Supreme Commander is slow is very ignorant and hasn't a clue about it.

CnC 3 would be great I think if they took time to balance the game, get the pace right and give units unique micro, but they did none of that.

1) The balance between factions is horrendous

2) The balance within factions is horrendous, most of the units in any given faction at the moment don't serve a purpose turning the game into a spam fest of the top units.

3) The pacing is awful, you get the games whole tech tree in a couple of minutes which adds to problem number 2 as this makes virtually all of the games early units useless in the blink of an eye and the demo uses a small blue zone, low resource map so this problem will be far greater on bigger more heavily resourced maps.

4) Almost all of the units move extremely slow and the units that can move fast are just so underpowered they are really worthless, things the developers spoke of like flanking and things of that nature are not here, nor is the unique micro every unit in Generals presented you, for the most part you micro all of the units the same way now, it's a big step back from Generals and likely was the result of the decision to put the game on 360 as well as the great micro Generals brought would be impossible on the 360 remote.

5)The day after the demo came out EALA announced they started work on the first patch, meaning the demo should be a mirror representation in regard to all these issues. EA is also known for having some of the worst patching/support of any game company so these issues could very well never be solved. 

Supreme Commander > CnC3

 I am sorry .. but its the truth. CnC3 was nothing more than an graphics upgrade. DONT GET ME WRONG... I have been a huge fan of the CnC series since its roots... but come on.... come up with something new.

 When it comes to single player... RTS games dont do it for me.. at least not anymore. Supreme Commander offers a far superior multiplayer experience.

im have to go with Supreme Commander

I've played C&C Demo and I have Supreme Commnder, plus i was in the Supreme Commander Beta test and it is the best RTS out there right now.

The Skirmish maps are very fun and the way each team balances out and uses their stradegies on the giant maps is unbeleivable... plus i kinda liked the single player mission, they got a little annoying at times... but what game doesnt

For C&C, it lacks wat sup com gives... no big zoom, no big maps, very small armies...

go with sup com ^_^ 

Save up some money by working and then get both.Judza

Im all ears...
