If you want a more technical look:

PA is more like TA than Supreme Commander. Wrecks can block movement, there are different land factories (bot + tank), and generally units have very low health and high damage. This makes battles quick and decisive, unlike in Supcom.

Tech levels are also like TA, there are two, and in general you can find a use for all units, no matter the tech level.

Also, we don't talk about Supcom2 because it ruined a lot of what made Supcom 1 great (The tech tree, large maps, great campaign, unit management)

If there are enough B12ers with a copy of PA we should get some >4 player multiplayer matches going. Playing with randoms is okay, but the load times are pretty lengthy and most of my opponents so far have just abandoned.

Got beta here. Put engines on a moon before I realized I couldn't actually move it anywhere. Pretty fun, though I've mostly been using vehicles.

I don't have the beta but I have a ticket for the full game, so I look forward to play with you guys. I really enjoyed Supcom 1

Don't have the beta, but feel free to tell me if I should add things to the OP for mp stuff.

Would like to play but.. price a bit high.. could use my OTHER credit card.. However..  my father would flay me alive.. even tough there's an ocean between us..

Tried joining a game, I shit you not it took 15 minutes of chugging for the map to finally load. Managed to brew and drink a cup of tea while waiting patiently. When it finally loads. WHAM 10FPS and awful performance. Just unplayable, even for a beta

That's some long range flaying.

Is there no singleplayer in the beta? I'll admit I jumped at it blindly without checking and just kinda hoped there would be...
Can games be saved and resumed later? Since with the scale and all I imagine a complete game will take several hours and so would need to be suspended for toilet breaks at the very least

You can play against AI, but it pretty much just sends bombers at you, and you need to not have anybody join your game after you readied up.

[PTTG??]

Oh wow, this AI is soooo smart and evil.

[Ultimuh]

Oh wow, this AI is soooo smart and evil.

In what way?

In the sarcastic way.

Seems like their servers are having a bit of trouble keeping up with the sudden influx of thousands of new players. Since multiplayer games are hosted their backend (I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong) load times can be a bit lengthy right now. As for performance, there's still a lot of optimization that needs to be done, for sure.

I've got the beta as well, and would love to hone my skills against fellow humans.
