"The thing is, most people complained about the type of game it is. That's a bit like making comments in a Pro Evo thread how you prefer American Football games."

Thanks UncleLou for clarifying, thats exactly what I meant. Directly comparing SC to CoH is not valid or helpful.

I don't know about others, but I was not making a direct comparison, nor doing anything than presenting my opinions. Ie: Supreme Commander is an RTS in the old style, which I used to love when they were the only RTS games, now I prefer RTS games of the new style, because I believe that (good examples of the genre) have made advances which are worthwhile.

Old style? You will have to explain yourself because I haven't got a clue of what do you mean. The only similar games that have been to Supreme Commander are its predecessor Total Annihilation, and in lesser extent, Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, Metal Fatigue and The Outforce. They focus on the grand strategy, making resources less important and combat, strategic development and deployement of units more important. Realism and physics are more important.

Of the rest of RTS the best is Company of Heroes. It is better than Starcraft or Dawn of War. It is the king of Micromanagement but its polished and well balanced (although completely unrealistic). It is a truly great game but more of an arcade than a strategy game.
