This is the epitome of what an RTS game should aspire to be: the ultimate RTS experience. It is one of the pinnacles of the RTS genre during its 'silver age' (2001–2010). The greatest of these was Supreme Commander. Despite its heavy system requirements for the time, it boasted a unique gameplay system and the ability to use multiple monitors, a feature that remains unmatched even today. Its expansion, Forged Alliance, builds on these unique mechanics. However, the sequels do not live up to the original.

Old time gamer here. RTS fan. Played all C&C's... How did I miss this Masterpiece???? I bough whole SC collection and I highly recommend giving it a chance if like me for some reason you've missed out on this game.
Supreme Commander is a landmark real-time strategy game that redefined the scale and ambition of RTS gameplay when it launched in 2007. Developed by Gas Powered Games and helmed by legendary designer Chris Taylor, this title pushes the boundaries of what strategy games can deliver in terms of massive battlefield scope, strategic depth, and unit diversity. The core experience is rooted in commanding enormous armies across sprawling maps, juggling macro- and micro-management, and crafting intricate strategies that play out on a grand, almost cinematic scale. One of the most defining features of Supreme Commander is its unprecedented map size and the sheer number of units you can command simultaneously. Unlike many RTS games that limit the player’s ability to mass-produce units, Supreme Commander embraces a philosophy of “strategic zoom” that allows you to seamlessly zoom out to see the entire battlefield or zoom in to focus on a single unit or engagement. This feature empowers pla...
7/10 its good but its SO SLOW, and units ai when moving as group start doing dogshit moves and space out miles away apart
Large scale, ample unit types, and fun story.
Old school player, pre-TA, and SC is just epic. Strongly recommended for all ages!
For a spiritual successor to Total Anhiliation, it's ok... a bit slower than TA but it's good.
bro ngl been my childhood game since i was young because my dad taught me this game and still when i play this game i still feel the joy in this game but its frustrating for this game to just crash mid match.
Played it way back when and have fond memories of this game. Now... not so much. The game isn't bad; however, the vanilla download for modern systems is severely broken in the campaign, to the extent that objectives do not count units needed for progression. Forget 4K unless you have telescopic vision; stick to 1080p-1440p. Also, if you are having the video stutter where your frames are at 60 and then drop to the lower end of, let's say, 15-20, you need to change core affinity and remove core 0. Doing that will resolve the issue of frame drops during cutscenes; use Project Lasso. Either go with FAF (but that in itself has the same issue or worse if they bork up a patch, which they do all too often).
The true sequel to Total Annihilation.. great game on all levels.
