Supreme Commander Talk

The v3251 patch made a lot of changes, but apparently not all of them are for the better. Already, several major new bugs have been reported. First off, while the Cybran T3 fighter has always been kind of broken, it seems that it is now broken in a new way. While it [...]

One new feature added in the recent patch that we haven’t yet mentioned is the ability of engineers to assist shields. Essentially, engineers can now assist shields in a manner similar to how they could already assist factories.
At first glance, this may seem like a poorly balanced feature. After all, what is to [...]

It seems I jumped the gun, at least a bit, in my previous post when discussing tech 2 unit rebalancing. I have had the chance to play some more games, and it seems that on smaller maps, games now do tend to go through at least something of a tech 2 phase. While [...]

We’ve been waiting for this patch for weeks upon weeks now and it’s supposed to be this Wednesday. That means all speculation that still needs to be done needs to be done quick, so I’m back for another article! In this one I’m going to take a look at the possible negative effects of the [...]

Gas Powered Games has taken a curious departure from the usual mantra of “It’ll be released when it’s done” to announce that the patch will be coming on Wednesday, May 23. That’s only, oh, about a month and a week after the original mid-April release date, but so long as it’s finally here … [...]

I was talking with Grokmoo yesterday and today and we both have very fervent hopes that the patch will open up the middle game. Supreme Commander (at least in competitive play) currently plays in two modes: tech 1 and tech 3. Tech 2 is little more than a highway pit stop between your [...]

We don’t yet know when the patch is coming out (and indeed, we probably won’t know until it actually happens), but there are some things we do know. For one, the patch has been undergoing testing for about a week now. Gas Powered Games set up a separate beta/testing server and granted access [...]

As I am certain everyone knows, there is a major SupCom patch due out (supposedly) within a few days. I am hoping I am proven wrong, but I somehow get the feeling that we may be waiting a little bit longer yet. As Jotto wrote about the other day, this patch will include [...]

Squidbot has just confirmed that the next patch will include many engine optimizations. This means that SupCom will run faster, especially on lower end computers. He also explained the perceived delay on the patch saying, “One of the reasons the patch has been so long in coming is some of the optimizations are relatively ‘radical’ [...]

It being April 13 today, the mid-April Supreme Commander patch we were promised waaaay back in late March should be nearly on our doorsteps now. I harbor no expectations that our exclusive look at the v3229 patch notes will turn out to be accurate, but I do know two things: the patch should be [...]
