This isn't cool. yeah, the opponents team has also lost a player, only also lost the units that go along with the player. This isn’t cool.

One player can't manage a large force as efficiently as two separate players can. Human attention is the most precious limited resource in Supreme Commander.

Did they remove factory reclaiming? Ya. Was it an exploit? No. It was simply something in the game people did not like but things the top players did there was nothing wrong with it(despite all the whining). If they had kept factory reclaiming would supcom be a horrible game? No. Zordon, this could be compared to factory reclaiming. Did they remove factory reclaiming? Ya. Was it an exploit?

They're obviously trying to prevent units given after ACU death. It's a comm bomb that lets 1 side keep all their units and the other only half. They stop you giving units after ACU death, so what do you do? Oh shit, better kill myself or else we wont have a huge advantage when I die. It's an exploit thats hard to fix without removing functionality, but I bet they will if you guys keep up with this. Yeah, and I think this is an exploit.

Perhaps it should be a map option. 1) standard ACU death nuke, 2) No ACU death nuke, or 3) ACU Death EMP.

Justify it however you want, I'll still call you a cheap fuckwit who needs to win more than you need to enjoy yourself...

The unit donations, the team sacrificing, its not cheating, its strategy. Underhanded.....yeah, it is. But you haven't altered the game you play in, you have simply used the tools given to you to the greatest possible ability. Cheating is when you change the perameters of the game in your favor. Spelled perameters wrong, but whatever :) Cheating is a whole different concept. The unit donations, the team sacrificing, its not cheating, its strategy. Underhanded…..yeah, it is.
