Fantastic sequel

So what's so great about the sequel? Well first off the graphics are so much better than SupCom. Second, the game is ready to run in a footprint greater thatn 2 gig. SupCom required a workaround to get around this limit. So the big maps run great on Vista64.

There are still some problems with the AI and the pathing, but overall, the game is a big improvement over SupCom. The . The special effects and the lighting are signficantly improved and the User Interface is much easier to use.

Overall, I highly recommend Forged Alliance to anyone who loves SupCom. You won't regret it.

The game is a lot more stable and on Vista64 with 4gigs of RAM I haven't had any crashes yet. I have a Quad 4 Intel processor and a GTX8800 and the performance is outstanding. I know, this is a pretty high end rig, but you don't need SLI to make this game perform.

The experimental units are very powerful and I haven't tried to build nukes yet. I hear that nukes take a long time to build, but you can create a lot of chaos with the experimentals, so nukes aren't really needed.

Overall, FA is a great addition to SupCom and I hope they continue with the add-on games. By the way, FA does not support DX-10, but it looks great anyway.

Enjoy!!!!!
