So I finally got it and it's pretty fun, but it takes me like 2 hours to complete each mission in the campaign. How long does it take for most people to complete them?

Yes. Also, if you don't play multiplayer, don't bother picking up SupCom, just get the expansion, since it's standalone. Only thing a supcom CD-key gives you is ability to use the original three races in multiplayer games launched from GPGNet (the important part).So is it worth picking up?
I do like a good rts game once in a while.
I tried to play Supreme commander. It was awesome, but just too epic for my liking. Don't get me wrong, it was a interesting and very thought out game. Does the expansion tone it down a bit or is it just as epic as the original?
Same here mate, But I still love a good base building game no matter how much I suck at it.for some reason I sucked at supcom, yet I am godly when I play COH...
I seem to lack uber base building skills, but the game was fun...
You'd only be able to play as Seraphim vs whatever. So you're not really limited in your opponents, only race.what if you want to play multiplayer?
If i bought the expansion only, could I still play online against people of the other race just not be able to play them? Or would it keep me from joining like 90% of the games?
Actually, most matches take <20 minutes. Well. If no one processer lags. 4v4s tend to be over 40-50 gametime minutes in with multiple expirimentals walking the field. A evenly-matched 1v1 will run the entire T1 to expirimental gauntlet in about 30 minutes.I just played it, it runs fine on my processor believe it or not. On max settings. Its just too big for me. I don't like to play games that take longer than an hour max. This game seems like 2 vs 2 matches would take an hour minimum. I'll stick to my age of the empires 3!
Still not too hard to get a good mass income up, just the way of doing it changed. As mentioned, even games with expirimentals don't really take all that long. 27 mass per tick from storaged T3 mass extractors isn't nothing =p. Expirimentals are cheaper, too, don't forget. And defenitly don't forget about reclaiming dead stuff. You can pop out a ML while evreyone else is still at T2 by defending well and controlling the field of battle to reclaim. And MLs/Fatboys/GCs/Seraphimchickenthingy just cream T1/T2.Just as epic. But they messed with the mass a bit so building huge power/mass farms at tech 3 is a lot less effective. Their idea was to switch it up so that there were more large tech 1 and 2 battles instead of tech racing and building up mass amounts of Experimentals.

There's bugs with the AI that cause massive performance losses as the game goes on with multiple AIs, especially on maps where there is enough water to build a naval factory (that counts puddles...). Even killing an AI doesn't help, strangely enough. Well, only in FA, at least, if that's what you're playing.I finally won a skirmish match earlier today. It was a ffa with 3 ai normals. One of the AIs killed the other two after I seriously weakened one of them. Eventually I took him down! I think it took just under 2 hours. I just wish my framerates were better I was getting 3 fps when I launched my final assault. I need a quad core!
