Possibly the best RTS that has been released in the past decade, and was probably ahead of its time/not marketed correctly. The multiplayer functionality was downright horrible, so a team took it upon themselves to redo everything the game was lacking and now it's up and running with a very strong community again. This has absolutely nothing to do with Supreme Commander 2, which was a travesty; the best way to describe it would be a 2010 version of Total Annihilation.

There's support for up to 8v8s, an ELO rating system, a plethora of different mods, and everything you could ask for. Haven't had this much fun gaming in a very long time. All you have to do is pick up the game on Steam for like $4.99 and then get the FAF mods running, which even include an auto mumble connectivity (Automatically room you with your teammates) and more.

Oo nice might have to check it out. I played TA back in the day, didn't play SupCom or FA, and then played SupCom 2 which didn't do it for me.

SC2 was fucking atrocious. SC1/FA was actually pretty decent, pretty much TA with a new engine.

Yea that's what I heard which is why I bought SC2 and regretted it. Bought SC1/FA on a steam sale at some point but never fired them up.
