Not sure how much work it would take to set up GPGNet to handle something like that, or if it would save them any money, but it'd be more convenient and likely cheaper for the users.

(as in a expansion pack) BUT if its released AS BUGGY and AS unbalanced then im NOT gonna be happy!!! in fact im likely to take my copy back and give up on supcom completely!! new expansion pack CANT WAIT!!!!
paying full price FK OFF!!! ive allready spent $110 on this one
i think HAVEING the original sould either get me a DISCOUNT (in EVERY COUNTRY NOT JUST EU AND US) OR i should get extra units (to make it worth while to own the original copy or get pplz to buy the original afterwards)
as for the cost for the game it COSTS a lot more to make the game the engine get the GUTS to work….

Wouldn't that selling anymore original SupCom games extremely unlikely ? Anyways.. I'm confused. :P -Skrie 8) To Thygrrr :

"As a standalone game, will mods port directly over to it or will they require vast revisioning to become functional in the new game?" - It is very likely that mods would need to be reworked to some extent to get them to function on the expansion. This already happens with each patch. How much work will be required to get a mod functional is anyones guess at this point. "Will it include a proper map editor instead of the kludgey hack of a tool that was released for SupCom?" -IMHO, the real map editor for supcom was scrapped or delayed indefinately. GPG just decided to toss us a bone by releasing their internal map editor. It is functional and actualy not too bad once you get used to it. The bugs are the only huge drawback i have experienced. ” As a standalone game, does it include all of the existing content of SupCom?

It must be a sign from god (a)! Can't wait for it, maybe they can focus on patching the game to perfection. Cough *slower teching up* Cough No way.. that’s my Birthday :D!

Base templates are really needed...it's a shame that they're packing all this stuff in when the original game should have had some of these things, but I understand where the profit goes now...oh, custom faction skins for the UI sound interesting...this looks like it's going to be a fun expansion. :) Of course, now you have this generic 'unholy alliance' going on...ick.
