After I updated Supreme Commander to the latest patch I could no longer play the original game. It turns out I had to remove game.prefs from application data and then it worked fine. (The old save files were incompatible but it wasn’t a big deal for me). I really enjoyed going through the campaigns when I found the side I liked best and went with it. I played through the Aeon campaign. It didnt have as many levels as I expected,but each level takes a long time. Throughout the level it slowly expands your area of operations until you have access to the entire map. The best thing about the campaigns is that on many levels you get to start with prebuilt tech 3 bases. Which means you get to jump into the best part of the game, the tech 3 and experimental units. Epic battles oh yeah, with some of the best graphics I’ve seen. Thanks to an ATI Radeon 4870, and Intel E8500 Dual 3.16 ghz with 8gb of RAM. Surprisingly I still get a little lag when playing huge skirmish maps with the larger unit limits. They were right this game requires a monster of a computer. But it does look awesome.

I really like being able to move your queue orders after you place them. Simply hold down shift and you can move the different parts of your queue. Say you want to build a few towers but you change your mind on the exact placement. Just click and drag the unbuilt buildings to their proper location. One thing I notice about supcom is that you constantly have to zoom in and out. Out to make your plans and then In if you want to see the action.
