Suffice to say, the sequel did not live up to the hype.
Still, Supreme Commander showed great promise as a franchise, and I was looking forward to the direction Chris Taylor would take the series. The original game and its expansion, Forged Alliance, were worthy spiritual successors to their precursor, Total Annihilation, but had room for improvement.
Speaking for myself, Supreme Commander 2 was easily my most anticipated title of 2010.
