No it isn't.
Total Annihilation is. Supreme Commander 1 is pretty close to TA, though.
Starcraft is the mountain dew of RTS's!

Personal thanks to Chris and those @ the University of Washington for fixing the formations.
edit: ah also... am officially repurposing the acronym SC2 for this game since it actually has a release date - and lan - and has all the factions in one game. :P

Let's just hope they don't make so many changes that the game becomes something else.

Two computers later and I still can't get it to run at better than 20fps. What the fuck is wrong with this game? How did you cats manage to get it to work?

With that in mind, you should be getting a playable framerate of between 25-40 fps and regardless, even with a quad core CPU and good GPU, a large force or battle will be hard on processing power.
There is an application that improves the multi-core processing though and you could give it a try if you have a multicore cpu. It gave me about 15-20fps bringing me up to an average of 40-50 fps on a Q6600 ~(quad-core).

I hope you get it running at a playable framerate, it's an amazing game.

Next time someone has an interview with Taylor, I really hope they'll ask what happened with the Amen IP and who owns it. That was an amazing looking FPS back in 1999.

Amen: the Awakening could have been epic if they pulled it off. It was to be the first 'to scale' FPS, where if you could see it, you could go there, in theory. Somethign I don't remember seeing in a game till Ratchet and clank 1.
And the story was awesome. Something like 1/4th the worlds population wakes up as murderious killers, and the game was set several months later trying to figure out what happened and fight along side the surviving resistance. It's like 28 days later: the FPS.
Would love to see Bishop Six get his day in the sun. IIRC, they even recorded some of the music for the game, and you can find it online.

It was quite spectacular-looking. The character's weapons formed from energy fields, so they're never actually carrying any weapons as long as they "put them away". In the demo I played, the character was on a runaway subway train, which you had to leap from just in time only to turn around and see it jump the tracks, demolishing a subway station as it went. It was epic, and I want to play that game.

You probably wouldn't want it on console...The console version of SupCom 1 sucked.

Also, it is good to hear you have a watchful cat. Waking up and finding someone who cares--be it cat, girlfriend or ancient, arthritic beagle--can make a whole lot of difference no matter what the affliction is.
