Beefy SupCom 2 DLC released

Cybran Monkeylord! Super Triton! Loads.

Square Enix has released the Infinite War Battle Pack for Supreme Commander 2.

It costs 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live and £7 on PC.

Inside are maps, units, experimentals, upgrades and boosts - the lot.

Of the maps, six are four-player - Way Station Zeta, Rigs, Etched Desert, Seraphim Isles, Igneous, Tourneydome - and two are two-player: Desolatia and QAI Labs.

Among the new experimentals are a Cybran Monkeylord - "If this unit makes it to your base, you're already dead"; Super Triton - "ultra-battleship bristling with humongous cannons" and Illuminate Sooprizer - "mega-gunship" with "devastating" direct-fire.

Supreme Commander 2 was released in March. Eurogamer liked it to the tune of 8/10.

    Ooooh it has monkeys in it. We like monkeys.

    I refuse to let that meme die.

    The main page says there are 3 comments, but mine's the only one appearing. Anyone else seeing that? Is it people whove been banned not having their comments appear, or people on my ignore list or something?

    I've logged out and still only see one comment (well, 2 now with this one), so I don't think it's ignore list.

  • darkmorgado #3 2 years ago

    Ah yes, confirmed. It's banned people. The comments must only appear for them, or something. You'd think they would wonder why noone responds to them.

    Been a long time since it was released, I would have expected a SupCom 3 announcement of something by now, regardless, I will almost definitely be getting it, SupCom is one of the few games all of my friends have got.

    @legendarytomuk: A long time? Really? It only launched in March; I hardly think 6 months is a long time. It's a fairly long time for the first DLC announcement to be sure, but a sequel? Honestly if they announced SupCom 3 before now I'd be worried that they were rushing it and/or milking the franchise.

    I may be in the minority here, I don't know, but I really don't want Activision/sports game-style yearly releases of homogeneous crap. I much prefer the Valve/Blizzard approach, although not quite to the extreme level that they take it (12 years for a StarCraft sequel and the ridiculous wait for Half-Life 2 Episode 3; episodic gaming is supposed to mean titles are closer together after all). Still, I'd rather every dev did that and made really good games than just making new levels and for the same engine and calling it a sequel.

    I was not expecting to have to pay for this to be quite honest.

    Two very important things to note:

    1. The XBOX360 version does not have the extra units - ONLY maps. Good maps, apparently, but still only maps.

    2. As of writing, the DLC on 360 does not work. You pay for it, download it, load the game and the maps DO NOT APPEAR, even after multiple restarts. I've received no title update to integrate the DLC either, so my guess is until that arrives, the DLC is essentially fucking useless.

    Bit hacked off really.

    @orpheus - That's what you get for playing an RTS on a console.
