Supreme Commander - bellum infinitus (theme music)

[Cosmicvarion]

If only it would stop crashing after like 20 minutes because of some "dump file" error... whatever that means...?

[GeneralJosh13]

@BoydTheMilkmanX

Actually, there is very little real "effort" expended on the infinite war. The whole concept of the game is that a single, piloted commander would warp onto a planet then gather all resources on site. Since all units are controlled by AI, the only effort coming from the colonized planets is the training of Commanders and research. Arguably, the war would give rulers much better control of the population, as well as spurring on science and technology.

[DarkRaider08]

a BEAST of a game!!

[Adjuni]

Soule is a Musical Magician. Listen to his Total Annihilation OST.

[Maphysto]

Everyone who has played this game needs to band together, raise an army, conquer a nation and make this our anthem.

[defconmissilesystem]

Bellum Infinitis

Endless War.

[ALEXANDER1318]

It's awesome how games use what sounds like thousands of musicians in their epic songs/soundtracks. I can almost see a stadium filled with musicians playing songs like this. Destroying the universe through an overdose of awesome.

[DeJayHank]

@Epqntlg Cause people fucking die...

[Balnazzardi]

Jeremy Soule truly is one of the best composers out there...his SupCom, Dawn of War, KOTOR and The Elder Scrolls soundtracks are all just amazing.

[Darfk]

@Balnazzardi let us not forget his incredible compositions for Total Annihilation!

[Vlassie1980]

Epic music, SupCom Vanilla has the best music and Forged Alliance the better gameplay now which should i play :)

[Dolby3d]

The infinite war

[zeldaking13]

you forgot the final cataclysm

[JD12ish]

I love this track!

[BVargas78]

Jeremy Soule in the house again! The man is a legend!

[tm64x9]

3 people lost their entire army's to an experimental

[shrelock]

@tm64x9 hehe, Fatboy spam ;D

[randomvideoproducer]

Too short, but epic nonetheless.

[Kinneballer36]

Sounds a bit Transformerisch...

[RiddleAnim]

@Kinneballer36 Know that Supreme Commander came before the Bayformers movies. (Bayformers=Micheal Bay's Transformers movies)

[AwexDerErste]

@Kinneballer36

sounds like jeremy soule

[S3Cs4uN8]

EA kills games, oh yes

[TriggerHappy838]

@S3Cs4uN8 hehe, Brackman ftw

[Buemmo]

@S3Cs4uN8 EA is EVIL

[Advandnaruto]

@Buemmo yup EA sucks, but the companies inside don't....I wish they went against EA and destryoed it and renamed it to EpicArts lol

[ImperatorZor]

Long Live the Cybran Nation!

[SekretZdzicha]

Why TA or SupCom fans have born in this pathetic times...

[nukeboy14]

i like the song but for me the game is too much macro. i like fast paced stuff like C&C

[Xenoforce8909]

@nukeboy14 yeah me too, but i gotta say supreme commander has i charm i like, the huge maps, enormous diversity of units, tactics and such.

C&C died when EA took over. :(

[PraetorSlayer2]

Aweomse, buying soundtrack from Direct Song!

[Xecutionner2K]

I dont like this version of bellum, i prefer the one directly from the game. It's more violent and stronger.

[gbrailsford]

a moivie of supcom?! that would be soooo awsome

[Maereandil]

all hail Jeremy Soule!

[Vort3x815]

too bad not enough people know about supcom, or even enjoy it. massive battles make it so epic.

[cdk6828]

i agree

[andrew9592]

i want to build and drive my own acu and kick the butt.

[Deltie]

who the phyuck doesnt?

[incinerator327]

I'm writing a book too! I'm not quite sure what its called but I just passed the 50 page mark.

[Draketuroth]

I mean infinite war xD

[Draketuroth]

Im actually going to make a book of supreme commander.

A captain and his rookie friend gets called by EUF and they offer a place in the Armored command unit army. Same day the Aeon returns and the infinitive war starts again.

[DomhnallX50]

EUF hve u even played the game its the UEF lolz

[Eelking1200]

@Draketuroth

A few things you should consider knowing before you write.

It's called the UEF

And its the Seraphim returning, not the Aeon. Also, Armoured Command Unit is a proper noun

[ofnair]

@Draketuroth Infinitive War xD

[Portalfreek]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG IN THE GAME!

[mmcaog]

If you were fighting an infinite war you'd need music like this to keep you going. :)

[Hiigaranwarrior159]

you know, they could definetely make a movie out of this and NOT suck if they just tried. with this kind of soundtrack, it's easy as can be.

[Draketuroth]

@Hiigaranwarrior159

Yea that´s true ^^

[DiehardMechWarrior]

@Hiigaranwarrior159

They should!

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

@Hiigaranwarrior159 Yeah, the big problem is the story of this game and it's sequel are really shitty. Score alone won't make it a good movie. I mean, I guess saying shit is insulting but it's less than mediocre.

[Thremle]

@BoydTheMilkmanX But how it is bad? WHY is it bad? How do you measure shitness?

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

@Thremle Well, simply put, the infinite war is infinitely stupid. Look at it this way; even if we expanded to the stars, do you think humanity would wage a 1000 year war? After a certain period of time, even the most prejudice of inviduals would agree waging war that expanded say; over a hundred years is a complete waste of effort even if technology allowed them to continuously wage that war.

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

Cont. That aside, what elements does the game offer that make it have a 'shitty story'. The campaign missions offer you objectives. That's it. It just tells you someone is attacking here, that's it really. They do have a few plot points but it;'s not explored enough to have any depth what so ever, so the story telling of the game is at a minimum. But let's face it, if we played games for their story and not gameplay, most games wouldn't be worth looking at.

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

@Thremle When they set out to do the game they wanted to make a large scale RTS game. It's pretty apparent that the story of said game was in their interest, because little effort was put into the telling of it and that's very obvious when playing. A good story is one that draws you into the world the characters are living in and believable (Starcraft 2's story just as an example) but this game doesn't do that, nor does it attempt to. It doesn't even attempt to be believable.

[Kamfrenchie]

@BoydTheMilkmanX

meh, starcraft 2 story was pretty bad compared to the first imo. Characters were cliche and there were plot holes

[Garchompking555]

@Hiigaranwarrior159 I can already see the credits rolling!

[Jen5en]

Blasphemy! :D

[DiehardMechWarrior]

Wow...this be some serious trailer music for a movie!

[PANDABOIII]

I got this on xbox the other day, i suck ass until this and another song comeon then i micro my tech 1 tanks so awesomelly until i get raped by tech 3 siege botas :(

[Hiigaranwarrior159]

yeah, they failed in bringing the game over to xbox, but if you just get a half-decent computer it rules the PC.

[harlequin2262]

@PANDABOIII

Yeah, RTS isn't something that'd really work on a console. Your capacity to micro is basically shot to hell.

[Nethaufer]

@harlequin2262 Agreed. The problem with SC 2 is that it's also meant for the console. Which means smaller maps and less ability to use the map tactically.

[Cptnhero15]

EPIC²

[emperorskorp]

epic epic epic ! 5/5 10/10

i love this but, i think superme commander 2 should have hard rock :)

[Owneador1337]

Total Annihilation had these classic/operistic tunes as well; I guess they wanted to keep it on the same style.

It trully resembles good-old TA in almost every way, so I think they did a nice job :).

[TheCh0senGamer]

This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[Advandnaruto]

this song is like your on a journey to kick some ass

[russiarolesLOL]

having ten galactic assault bots raping a base whit this song in the background....AWESOME!!

[Alexiandro0]

I'm sooo bad in this game....

[Owneador1337]

Me too :(. Everything is so massive I never know if I need more resources or more builders or more units.

"Ha, finally I have 150 tanks, I'll attack" -> Tanks get killed in 20 seconds. WTF.

[harlequin2262]

I always found that multiple waves, using combined arms worked best. That, or 5 monkeylords.

If in doubt, build 50 T3 bombers and bum-rush their commander.

[opalen903]

I love the main theme...

[Inganotodden]

Does this game exist for mac?

[drndl1707]

You and me wish, brother.

[Owneador1337]

Nope, this is not in that list of 5 games which you can play on a Mac; sorry :(.

[harlequin2262]

I'm running it on my Mac right now.

[Hakuru15]

augh...didn't i saw that robot in total annihilation before?

[Pszichopark]

Well...Supreme Commander is the descendant of TOTALA...:)

[octoslut]

sup come is the best. big robos ftw.

[FiR3StAlK3R]

lol wut, the micro is not nearly as important as in other faggy RTS like Warcraft or C&C

[nukeboy14]

i don't care about warcraft but dont you dare say anything about command and conquer plus dont reply cos i do not wanna make a big argument(replying and replying and replying)

[vett3l0l]

dissagree, micro is important

[FiR3StAlK3R]

not as much as in star craft or c&c

You lose a tank in starcraft or c&c = OH NOEZ OMG

You lose a tank in SupCom = whatever, kill one and three new tanks come out of the facs

So microing your army is only important on very small maps

[vett3l0l]

i geuss you dont play ranked than

[FiR3StAlK3R]

not much and no you are not elite or better or shit like that because you do

[vett3l0l]

so offensive :/

[FiR3StAlK3R]

well i did not insult you, just warned you not to think you are good because you play 5x5km spamfest aka ranked

[vett3l0l]

im rather a FFA and phantom fan, but im always in for ranked games to =Þ

[akaluk]

Micromanagement in supcom is much less prominent; units dont have special abilities to activate and target, slower pace means you have more time to react etc.

It's still important at higher tiers, but nowhere near the same amount or intensity as other games.

[talibala]

Micromanaging units in the battle is the real strategy, look at WiC or CoH, they're both real STR's, instead of CnC or SC where you just build shitloads of units and rush. More likely on SC where you rush with shitloads of Tech 3 bombers and win it that way. Cnc you'll just mammuth rush or Flame Tank rush or be just a Scrin noob fag.

[FiR3StAlK3R]

Sure T3 Bomber rushing always works, it's not like the enemy is building T3 fighters, which down the bombers in no time. Or shields, or SAMs. Goddamn are you a noob. WiC and CoH are tactical, small scale games, while SupCom is for real big battles, where you plan ahead.

[FiR3StAlK3R]

You are totally retarded and you clearly don't know how to play Supreme Commander or Forged Alliance. Now learn2play before you try bitching about a game you cannot play properly.

[BriefMortal777]

Correct you don't need tactics. You need strategy. Hence why it's an RTS as opposed to an RTT. You'd have to be a cretin to think that you can compare SupCom to CoH. While I'm at it I'll compare Battlefied to Doom or Final Fantasy 12 to a MUD.

[Synapse27]

IMO, you got it wrong

Tactics is to adapt on the frontline

WC3 and CnC are good examples of that

Strategy is similar but on a grander scale, and is more like "Alright gentlemen, how do we invade earth?"

A friend once said

Tactics take place on the frontline

Strategy is made in the Pentagon (or equivialent war-room)

[longy221]

Stop comparing it and saying CnC and SC are crappy games because they don't focus on micromanagment. The games weren't made for micromanaging, and many people like it that way. Personally I like both type of RTS games.

[FiR3StAlK3R]

Units have special functions:

-ACU: Overcharge, teleport (upgrade)

-Many cybran units: stealth/cloak, AA gun that shoots land targets

-de/activating structures (shields, mass fabricators, radars etc.)

-submarines: surfacing and diving

-aircraft carriers: start planes

-tactical/strategic missile launcher: built/start missiles

-much more

[Powerslide0]

Dude have you never played a ranked game? You will be raped if you don't micro - without a doubt.

[FiR3StAlK3R]

Rating 1770, rank 500 something. YES I do and I do not waste time microing my tanks, because it does not matter that much.

[Powerslide0]

So I assume you also manage to crank out experimentals on ranked games, eh?

[FiR3StAlK3R]

.

After the very beginning raids, micro is absolutely unnecessary, except for fighting commander or drop troops. You do not manage a single tank in a fight with 10 or more. If you do so, you waste time.

[Powerslide0]

You have no idea how to play, enjoy being lobo'd to death against a decent human player.

[FiR3StAlK3R]

Yeah sure, whatever

[FiR3StAlK3R]

Ohh yeah baby, i'll start a big argument!

C&C is rts for kids. You don't have to think, just rush the enemy to death.

[harlequin2262]

Only with RA and CnC 1. The sequals added a lot more sophistication to the game. I know that Tiberium Sun had a lot of potential for some very cunning strategy. Adding to that, the potency of early game units and defenses meant that you couldn't tank rush. Play them against some better opponents, you'll see what I mean. Having said that, you can still raid them, ala SC or WC3, or SupCom. It's just very difficult to win in a single early game attack.

[KAMIL2310]

Supreme Commander is the SUPREME GAME

[jumjumboi]

I LOVE THIS GAME

[chobbers678]

totally cool!

SUPCOM PWNZ!

[mitttig]

best song of supcom

[OverlordRaxusReaper]

Best RTS theme EVER!

[Helloween85]

nice

[venum4k]

BEST tune ever!!! love sup com

[spacenakora]
