Greetings! We are the Grandchilds to CydeWeys….
The unlikely team has formed and Forged an Alliance. “We” are Sir_Loui and TheCoreCommander. Hopefully we can write some nice articles in the future, with one coming very soon. We will take a deeper look into the forthcoming expansion and as we both have tested it in a closed beta we will be able to give our opinions and thoughts. There are many expectations on the articles written here and we really hope to live up to the great standard CydeWays and his partners stood for.
I know that my English grammar may not always be the best but i do my best and will concentrate on gameplay discussion. TheCoreCommander will also write about gameplay but will concentrate a bit more on the news.
Hopefully our work will be appreciated and FA will breathe in some new fresh air into the game. Remember that the open beta will come out in about a week as i heard from inside contacts, so be sure to have your beta key ready!

Hey Sir_Loui and TheCoreCommander. I’ve written a couple of pieces for supcomtalk and supcomlive in the past, and I like to think my English is fairly good. If you’d like, I’d be willing to proofread any/all articles before you post them. My email address is wediddoit at gmail dot com, send me an email if you’re interested.
September 24th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
that sounds great Baddox. Perhaps you also want to write some pieces again now when FA comes ;) Because that would be awesome too
September 24th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Forgive me DeadMG, for I have sinned, I am the awful 4th poster, please forgive me.
September 24th, 2007 at 2:05 pm

This is excellent news!

Good to see SupCom sites are not completly dead yet.
September 25th, 2007 at 6:32 am
W00t! I was *almost* about to stop checking this place daily.
September 25th, 2007 at 8:54 am
Great NEWS ! \o/
Good luck Sir_loui and TheCoreCommander, we are expecting good articles soon :)
September 25th, 2007 at 10:26 am
wooohooo good luck man :)
September 25th, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Cyde Weys had grandchildren? He just got out of colledge :P
Congrats on the new writers. We now have the number one player writing here, this will be cool.
September 25th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
I’ll do my best to fit writing into my schedule. But I’d definitely be able to proofread for anyone else. I’m still unsure if I’ll be buying FA right off the bat. As most of you know, PC gaming is going completely crazy over the next few months. I’ve got to budget not only my money, but my time. I want to make sure I dedicate myself for at least a bit of time to each of the great games that are coming out. I’m trying to find time to finish Bioshock before Orange Box comes out, but TF2’s taking all my spare time currently. Then there’s Crysis and UT3, and COD4. And maybe some dabbling in World in Conflict and Universe at War.
September 26th, 2007 at 9:27 am
maaan Forged Alliance own all of the games u counted up :D
Well TF2 looks really cool and i think im gonna buy it but FA is clearly my prio 1. Play beta and i hope you will understand…
September 26th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
FA is priority one, got BioShock on order and gonna buy The Orange Box w/ Portal, TF2 and EP2.
September 26th, 2007 at 8:07 pm
bioshock doesnt have multiplayer, which was a real shame, and it really only took 3 days of play to beat. I hear it has good replay value, but I havent played it since I beat it.
September 27th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Don’t forget Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. This game is going to be the big suprise this fall.
September 29th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Great to see some new writers! There is lots to talk about, I’ve been looking at the Gamespot faction previews for FA and many of the new units could probably warrant a whole article to themselves. Jester rush? Blaze = Flash? Paragon, wth? Novak? Megolith eggs? And is the Annihilator back with the new UEF T3 PD? Lots to talk about!
September 30th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Quake Wars sucks tbh, i downloaded the demo and the controls are horrific for vehicles of all kinds, and i didnt find the player to player combat very satisfying at all.
October 1st, 2007 at 4:47 am
QW sucks. This fall is ALL about UT3. :]
October 1st, 2007 at 11:04 am
i am watching everyday for new infos. u better post something !
October 1st, 2007 at 7:30 pm
How bout an article on the new FA economy? I hear Mass Fabs are moving to T2, which will change some folks opening strategies quite a bit and hopefully put more emphasis on mass extractors. Also, since you guys are in the know, is there a nerf to RAS in FA?
October 3rd, 2007 at 6:50 pm
RAS on sACU’s was nerfed, ACU RAS values are still the same.
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Thats fine by me, the ACU isn’t a problem becuase there is only one of him…

A new patch has been released that includes a new unit pack. So far I have tried out the new UEF T2 “Gatling bot” and the Cybran T2 “rocket bot”. The UEF Mongoose seems to be basically a T2 Mech Marine, and so far I’m a big fan of it as it is an excellent raiding unit with good speed, range, and firepower. Its lower health means its not as well suited to attack heavy defenses though, which is what the Pillar is for anyways.
The Cybran Hoplite seems to be not as useful, it has a long range but the rockets have a very flat trajectory and seem to hit anything in the way. They also cause friendly fire.
The Aeon receive a new T3 sheild disruptor but I have not seen this one in action yet, does anyone know how it works? It seems to have an Aurora-type cannon on it, which is very weak for a T3 unit, but I’m not sure how the actual sheild disrupting works.
October 5th, 2007 at 1:22 pm
Shield disruptor does little damage to units, but lots of damage to shields.
October 5th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
Any idea what the multiplier is? From http://supcom.hacked.in/unit_details/r3269/dal0310, the T3 Absolver does 5 pts of damage every 2 seconds. So it would need quite a large multiplier to make that type of damage appreciable against shields, maybe x50 or x100 or something? It’s potentially a very useful unit against turtles that also forces the use of combined arms, so I’m a big fan of it if it works as advertised.
