RTS Video Game Supreme Commander is a step forward

There was a time when RTS games were archaic and simple, which was not so long, to be sincere, but things have changed quite dramatically in a very short time. Video in real-time strategy games for your PC starts to move up the quality of allowing players to wage war on the web with the battlefield scale and impressive graphics. Sure, some games are better than others, but there's a new name for Supreme Commander which is a level above the rest.

When it was published February 20, 2007 by Gas Powered Games, Supreme Commander was greeted with great expectations. The long-awaited release is finally here and it was discovered that this RTS game is everything it promised to be and more. Players can do more to land, air and naval battles at the same time that the transport of troops across large aircraft, the sending of devastating air attacks with bombers, descend upon their enemies with armor divisions or even destroy an enemy position with a nuclear weapon.

Ten years ago RTS were still in their infancy. Internet is something that can be accessed through telephone lines relatively slow. The real-time interaction was slow and primitive. The first games simply not had the advantage of advanced technologies such as computers and fast Internet connections to broadband.

Although the first RTS games are fun, are not very impressive in terms of style. The technology could not keep up with the creative concepts of these games. The serious players of these early games do not care much because they were just happy to leave the default format of Playstation, Nintendo and Xbox.

In the first RTS games offered a new format where you could actually be part of the game and the outcome of the process. The players were just happy to do something new, different and challenging. After all, these are the games that you could access the Internet and fight with people all over the world! That alone is impressive for its time.

Until recently, RTS games have been more difficult to deal with the economy and the tactics were to use complex strategies to make war on a large scale. Supreme Commander is a different story, because it offers PC gamers a game of incredibly large scale battlefield.

While it is set in the distant future, Supreme Commander uses modern war tactics and strategies for the war. There are three factions of the left and everyone is fighting for something different. The United Earth Federation believes in order and the empire, the group of cybernetic Cybran fight for independence and the alien-enlightened Aeon group aims to rid the universe.

In the past, bigger is better has not always been the idea in mind for developers of RTS games. But that has changed now that the technology has been greatly improved.

Supreme Commander embraces the idea of the vastness, as a park ranger in Alaska. There are battlegrounds that average range: 20 km x 20 km in size, and others that are at best incredibly high: 81 km x 81 km!

This game offers some opportunities for the overall strategy, but is above all a question of scale. Players can design plans that provide for the creation of large armies that can fight simultaneously over vast areas. Although it is primarily the size, the gameplay is stimulating a variety of scenarios for victory with the multi-player action that sounds like an exciting game of Monopoly with lethal weapons.

With all the recent publicity that PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 have received their new technological advances, it is nice to see the Real-time strategy video on the web are in phase with each other. While some games are better than others, Supreme Commander is on top of the list. Battlegrounds scale offers this game is pretty impressive, because it allows players to wage total war, with armies of several at the same time.

The size is the most impressive, but also offers a gameplay complex, with multiple scenarios for victory. Furthermore, the rapid pace at which the action takes place will challenge even the most cyber-warrior experts.
