Metal Heck for Supreme Commander!
This has to be the best custom map for Supreme Commander ever. Remember that classic map “Metal Heck” from Total Annihilation? If you never played TA, here’s the gist. Most maps had metal deposits on them (which are identical to mass deposits in Supreme Commander, just with a different name). But there was a special map theme set that was all metal. That’s right, there were no metal deposits; you could just build metal extractors anywhere. Such a thing didn’t exist in Supreme Commander … until now. The download of Metal Heck includes a mod that allows you to build mass extractors anywhere. Imagine how crazy these games are going to get. Metal Heck was just one of those classic maps that everyone played. It had lots of terrain features and chokepoints, and the battles were always excellent. Now that frenetic fun has come to Supreme Commander.
Metal Heck was created by stix, who released it on Game Replays. You can also download it from our local mirror if that link ever goes dead.

I remember seeing that at least a week ago, but it’s okay. I’ll forgive you for not being on top of *everything* related to Supreme Commander… this time!
Heh, there’s a Core Prime Industrial Area map, too, I think. That’s my classic.

Ah well, it was news to me.

Is it just me or does that not even have the base defensive areas the real Metal Heck had? I’m pretty sure the TA metal maps generally had nice defensive “mountains” partly surrounding the start locations.
