Supreme Commander 2 Xbox 360 Videos: Controls and Multiplayer Action

Controls have always been the downside to a stratagy game on consoles. Drastic is the only option when they attempt this. You would think they could use a trackball or something if Microsoft would let them, to accomplish this.

My personal compare and contrast of Sup Com 1 vs Sup Com 2...with all comments being about the latter.

a. a small hardcore sup com 1 crowd
b. a different publisher
c. Chris Taylor losing his edge, or just being a master at marketing anything like the late Billy Mays
d. we're hard to please
e. everyone's going for simpler games, why should they be the exception?
f. Where the FUCK are my anti air flak Tech 2 defenses?
g. Where's the fucking monkeylord?
h. at least the performence is better, right?
i. Why are the aircraft in square formations?
j. Why do the aircraft hover and never land?
k. Why can't you recharge shields anymore with engineers?
l. Where did my subcommanders go?
m. Since when did experimental units become a "oh...big deal, I'll use a few gunships to tear it down" type of unit?
n. Why doesn't the fat boy have a fat shield attached to his ass while simultaneously building units?
o. Why is setans clutch now the size of the former Fields of Isis? Which is now the size of my mousepad...
p. Tech 3 anti air...anyone?
q. Why do gunships have more health than a tank?
r. why are all the point defenses the same except with different names?
s. Where are the tech 2 point defenses? Those were cool :(
t. Why are the nukes for all the sides the same? They used to be different...and cool....
u. Why can't a King Kryptor step on a midget tank and CRUSH it? Seriously...why did they get rid of that?
v. Tech 2 or 3...or even one different type of power plant?
w. Why did I buy this game?
x. Why is there only one 4v4 map?
y. Where is the mod support?
z. I just realized how many steps backward this game was :(

The controls work really well. Had this game pre-ordered for awhile, loved the first one.

My only complaint is the balance is a little problematic when it comes to the Health/Armor of Air units.

They are so friggin strong it's easy for anyone to take out a com with a few gunships/bombers even while they take damage from fighters and AA turrets.

Also, NO ARRANGED TEAMS or 2vs2 RANKED on 360 which is unforgivable.

I vomited a bit in my mouth when I remembered the abomination that is this game compared to the first.

All they had to do is fix the performance issues in the first one... that was it...

Not only is consolization taking our FPS's and Sim's, It's also taking our women, our homes, and our RTS's. Starcraft 2 (which is just SC1 with better graphics) save us!

little less time on the console controls little more time on the actual gameplay and for christ's sake unit balance next time plz.
