Supreme Commander Talk

Since our thread announcing the upcoming release of Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, a number of details about the new standalone title have emerged. Gamespot has a Q&A on the new title, and several users have also contributed speculation in comments. Interestingly, there is also a thread in the official forums created by jables, [...]

Grokmoo and I are at the beach with a friend for the rest of the weekend, so our postings may be more sporadic than usual. At least we have a laptop and a neighbor’s free WiFi connection to leech off of. This, however, is an open thread like all of the others, and [...]

Those of you who’ve played on GPGnet recently have seen the teaser countdown in the GPGnet header banner rotation. It has a full countdown (including days, hours, minutes, and seconds) to August 1. So what happens on August 1? The only clue we have is the text “You asked for it; they’re [...]

Eurogamer has the scoop on a new standalone game in the Supreme Commander series, titled Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. The release date is scheduled for November, and it will include over 100 new units, including “fully realised navies, orbital weaponry and advanced counter-intelligence technologies.” Hopefully all of these features will make it into [...]

Son of Shagrat previously announced that the 2v2 ladder would be reset. Well, it’s now happened, with all teams starting over at 0-0-0. The top ten teams before the reset did get special awards, however. I just feel bad for #11. I hope this is the last time we see a [...]

I was playing some 2v2 ranked ladder games with Wuped two days ago and he taught me some excellent strategies that he gave the okay to pass on to all of you. If you don’t recognize the name, Wuped and his partner ktachuck are currently ranked #6 on the 2v2 ladder, so they’re obviously [...]

I came across this fix awhile ago, used it, and then forgot about it, but I’m realizing that many other people are still suffering from the same ailment, so here’s the fix again. But first, I need to explain what I’m talking about.
The GPGnet multiplayer client automatically stores game data statistics about every multiplayer [...]

There’s a small bug I’ve noticed recently in the Replay Vault and I was wondering if it happens to anyone else. It looks like the “Game Type” is frequently being recorded incorrectly.
