I started playing Supreme Commander 2 in earnest last weekend. I'm not a unit spammer by nature and one of my main frustrations with Supcom/FA was losing on small maps to players who were simply more aggressive with unit spamming and/or always used a race that was suited to small map unit spamming. Second of all, (and most importantly), I have been pleasantly surprised to find that it actually does have more diverse strategy than Supcom & Supcom:FA and this is a good thing! Supcom and Supcom:FA give more weight to unit spamming and aggressive tactics.
The main thing is that it allows relatively quick matchups for games. First of all, the 1v1 ladder has been initialized although it has been simplified somewhat.
This stuck in my head for a number of months until I decided to give Supcom 2 another chance. However, one of the last Supcom:FA 1v1's that I played, the guy I kept getting matched up wtih complained that Supcom:FA didn't have as diverse strategy as Supcom 2. Therefore it was a lot more work to get into games. (It was also a great game and improved on Total Annihilation) After I bought Supreme Commander 2, I played it once or twice but it was different than Supcom:FA and there was no skirmish ladder when it was released. What made Supcom (Supreme Commander) one of the few games that I've played over the last 3-4 years is that I could jump into the que for 1v1 without having to arrange my schedule to meet up with friends etc. I was a big fan of TA, Supcom, & Supcom:FA before it. I bought this game shortly after it came out. (Supcom & Supcom:FA lasted me 4-5 years). I am mid 30's, married with 2 kids, I don't have near the time to game that I used to, so when I find a game I like, it usually lasts me a I am mid 30's, married with 2 kids, I don't have near the time to game that I used to, so when I find a game I like, it usually lasts me a year or 2.
