Interesting - I'd highly sceptical that this will port or run well on the 360 but I'm open to being ‘corrected’. This is a game that can choke very high spec PCs after all..

Perhaps they're limiting the units severely? Try playing this in multplayer on the PC with a 1000 unit limit for each faction and two players versus two AI..

Like dangel said, it's an awesome game but with the biggest map… 8 players and 1000 units each. No way could a 360 handle that! My PC paces along at 5fps at the though of it! :D

I guess they much be capping the max player/units heavily as you said dangel. Annoying they get some ‘extras’ we don't though :(

I guess SupCom is no where near as demanding as forged alliance mind you

The Xbox 360 has a single hardware platform and a triple core 3.2 GHz CPU (yes I know its in order and so it IPC isn't that good) along with a fairly powerful graphics engine. I think it'll be just fine :)

4 cores, better gpu, more memory (system/graphics) - still can choke. They'll have to dial something(s) back to make it work. That's not necessarily a bad thing gameplay wise though - especially given the target audience.

Solving the inherent control issues will be interesting too - oui?

Perhaps the clue is four-player-only multiplayer - that's the first restriction.

Yeah but my C2Q at 3.68Ghz, 8800 ultra and 4GB of ram can still grind to a halt in this game! (doing silly things admitted) You need to play it to see the immense scale of it, it's pretty insane!!
