Spoilers caught my attention.  Will look it up tonight.

There is a toggle system for the camera in SupCom, but I rarely use it so can't help you there. It's a good game and I still play it. I can see the draw to either, but I prefer SupCom for the most part because the of realistic physics, versus shooting through walls in DoW. I say SupCom. The campaign alone is pretty badass. More structured than DC, but still long, fun missions.

As for Event Horison, I was a bit older when I saw it, but I first saw it at 1 int eh morning with all the lights off and could not sleep afterwards. Impressive? Well, it had great set design and the movie was well structured. There are more compelling ideas and all, but this was executed in a way which made it wonderful. I love it. Still creeps me out a touch, and keep in mind that even the most twisted moments in The Grudge or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes made me yawn or laugh.

I noticed that Carbon, but I thought it might just be an astronomical reference. Sweet. Speaking of which, you plan on posting anything soon or should I take a crack at it? With so many players, I'm  not sure how often is too often, no turn system in play and all.

spreme comander: forged alliance is an awesome game, too bad the sequel is total crap (imho)

I haven't been reading up too carefully on SupCom 2, but thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to hit reviews to see more on what it does wrong. I kinda felt like Black&White2 did the same thing.

I was just reading up on SupCom2. Not only do I get a lot of the complaints people are making, but did I read correctly in that the game needs Steam? I am unwilling to do two things: Pay month to month for a game that doesn't continously grow/change, and put Steam on any of machines.

If it's true, that automatically makes it a no-go for me.

I also agree that between supcom 1/supcom 1:forged alliance and dOW dark crusade, my preference is supcom, and I do have both, dow was uninstalled from my mail machines, but sucom is still installed, also I WILL NEVER allow spyware/rootkits like steam into my computers.

harpo

when i tried the supcom 2 demo, i was baffled. the first thing i did was make sure the graphic were set to the highest option possible and to my dismay they were. just graphic wise the game was such huge step backwards i can't sleep well even now.

gameplay wise: the new economy sytsem is not that bad, but the game feels a lot smaller unit and map wise

*drools at thoughts of epic battle in SupCom*

a couple things-

1. I know there is a 500 unit limit option. Without that option is it that units are unlimited?

2. are there any big maps with sizeable connected bodies of water adjacent to starting bases?

3. which would be the better buy, SupCom1 or FA? I am more interested in playing skirmish games than the campaign.

4. is the SupCom2 demo actually fun to play? I have Steam (mostly because there were couple games that were sadly Steam only that I wanted to check out very badly) and am relatively okay putting up with it for demos.

I recomend FA becouse u get 4 races to choose from and its insane and will give u lots of fun. 

I was playing SupCom1 a little while ago and had the usual lag when a huge map with 8 players was getting up there in numbers. Eventually it just crashed and then consistently went down after that. I then patched the game to max out at 3G rather than 2, and since I've been able to play those games. Sure, if players don't get killed, there is some lag late game, but I don't crash and can get some epic battles. Windows is defaulted to limiting your usage to 2G, but it's possible to override.

Go FA. Don't push yourself to play 8 players with 1000 units, but to still get some beefy piles of death and happiness, the 3G patch does wonders. Of course, make sure you get all the game patches first, so that it doesn't get overwritten.

yes we  you can
