Supreme Commander... grand looking game... couldn't stop watching the trailer over and over and over again. Playing it right now, come to think of it. Nice ambience. Never got into TA. I own it... but never got into it... I couldn't even beat the Single player aspect of the game, which is deffinatly saying something. I only played TA within this year... didn't own it till this year... hell, never heard of TA till 97 in a PCGamer Magazine, back when they gave free cds with their mags. I still got the magazines and the demo cds. Heh... first RTS I played was the original Command and Conquer, from a "CD Power Full Version" from Punchline Publishing.

just pray to God or whatever you believe in that it isnt another MMORPG

Maybe it'll be a MMORTS (ie: nothing like WoW...)

To think... I just liked you because you make GalCiv...

TA is definately the best RTS on the planet. The modding community is STILL kicking, and TA came out when? 97? That's almost 10 years of TA! TA will never die! LONG LIVE CHRIS TAYLOR!

LONG LIVE GALCIV! Man... I'm going to have a hard time choosing which to play...

Well yeah but Starcraft is still going on strong and it also came out by the end of 97, brood war in 98. The difference is the game is so fukn good , no need for that many mods, we got trigger maps for that. You just got to enter Battle.net and you'll see theres over 200,000 + people playin at any 1 time.

Also, a little offtopic, theres this other game that seems interesting too, not that it can be compared to Supreme Commander on the epic scale of battles, but still epic on its own right    The game is Spore, and you can start playin from the begining of Evoulution, you read right, from the bacteria micro world, to space faring civilization. Can do a little bit of everything, a little sims with your cratures, a little simcity with creating your civilization's cities, little bit of Civilization style gameplay with dyplomacy with neighbors, conquering through economic, cultural or of course military machines. Little bit of 2001:Space oddeysey. Has everything. I found on yahoo some movies from the GDC of last year where Will Wright, the author of the sims, simcity, and now spre, talks about the game. The movie is 1 hour long , but the site has some other movie clips from E3 at the right of the screen. here you go:

If you dont want to hear the introduction, fast forward to 12 minutes and he'll be talking bout spore then...


I hope we can have space battles on that game, but till' now I havent heard anything related to massive space battles, so ill keep looking for that.

Enjoy

On the subject of Total Annihilation still having an active modding community, check out Spring ( http://taspring.clan-sy.com ) an open-source/free game that starts where TA left off, fully 3D, plenty of of active mappers and mods... and while you only get a hundred or so people online at a given time, that's usually enough for a good game.

@Zoomba: Save replays. I wanna see 'em. Why? Often the best games are between friends.
