oh oh oh, dunno but you (whoever you are), but if you are anyone important you would have seen the 'surpreme commander' trailer by now and oh **** it definetly looks like the best RTS ever thought of. im a huge fan of warhammer 40,000 and was over the moon when dawn of war got rts of the year, and now that dark crusade is on the horzion im getting excited. to add to the fun c&c3 the tiberium wars is heating up, and anyone who knows anything about rts' is that whenever westwood say theyre gonna deliver, surprisingly theyre gonna delivery. so it looks like a good year ahead for rts mainics like myself espically considering i sold my xbox360 and now my best gaming system is a pc, and i dont care what anyone says rts are the best genre on pc's even better than mmorpg's which i also love.


RTS forever, I AM THE SURPREME COMMANDER !!!

well its simple actually, there are many ways to look at it, but they all are really the same. everyone loves killing nazis.
WWII games have some of the best storylines around, they give you a range of guns, and vehicles, and you get to fight in the most gruesome war ever, and can sit back and wonder why the hell you're not dead yet, its class.

if you havent already, u need to play
medal of honour allied assault
medal of honour european assault
battlefield 1942
commandos 2
hidden and dangerous
call of duty

    i cant believe it, i actually cant believe it. at first i thoght it was a dream, like seriously the time has finally come, i finally have oblivion. you're probably wondering why im even bothering to do this and why im not playing it right now, well its because i didnt go to bed last night because i played all though the night and im considering this to be my break. for those of you who have not yet purchased the game yet, you have no idea what you're missing out on, you're either very unfortunate not to own a copy, or you're unbelievable dumb not to go out and buy it. if you played morrowind you should know the potetial of the storyline and the thoughts behind it, unfortunately they weren't shown well in morrowind with its awful loading times, and its "what-the-hell-do-i-do" layout.
    also the absolute worst thing in morrowind was whenever you attacked the enemy, you only hit them 1 in 10 attacks, very badly designed, in fact everything that was wrong with morrowind, oblivion has fixed, and more, much more.
    an example of this would be my friend stephen, he doesn't even really like adventure games, but he bought oblivion coz there aren't many xbox360 games out yet and he wanted something new, and since he bought it he's mainly just played in the arena, and he isnt far off being the highest rank in it. so this proves there is something for everyone in this game.
    i myself love the magic side of it, ive already learnt a good number of spells, and ive joined the mages guild and im now the third rank, the magic system has been greatly improved since morrowind, not only more spells, or what they do, but even the look of them when cast has become amazing, and the enchanted weapons add to the fun.
    the game may be more "dead-set" in terms of the storyline, as it has been designed to attract gamers who aren't into spending hours on end wandering about the world trying to find out whats going on, in ways this is bad as the game is slightly less "open" but considering how open it is compared to other games, its hard to notice that much a difference.
so far i havent played a lot of oblivion, considering how much im going to play it in total. so for those of you that do have it, i hope you can have at least half as much fun playing this game as me, and if you do then this will be your number 1 game for a long long time.

7th July 2025, Highguard Commander Ezecheon has been woken from his bed at the Imperial Headquarters on the planet 'Ebon' and has been ordered to report to Supreme Commander Harkones and Highguard Commander Bashir, who was Supreme Commander Bashir's son. They had been put in charge of the planet's evacuation of all civilians, and the militarization of the colony as a point from which to hold back the enemy from advancing towards Earth.

Since May Ezecheon's fleet had lost another 3 frigates, one of his destroyers with another one so badly damaged that it could no longer enter combat, and was being used to evacuate civilans. His medical vessel was completly wiped out, and his communations vessel had been militarised. All in all it was great losses, but relatively small for his first mission in command of an entire fleet. Those who had survived up until now, had began to respect Ezecheon and no longer consider him as a rookie, and they now saw him as a great leader and also a great friend. The main difference between Ezecheon and other Imperial Commanders is that while they all attacked the enemy to win at all costs, Ezecheon fought in a way to keep as many of his men alive as possible.

It was to be 5 days until the entire planet of 'Ebon' was to be evacuated, and within that time 6 Imperial fleets were to arrive to set up a new frontline of operations, even though it was in territory they already owned. Ezecheon still did not know where he would be sent next, or whether the Imperium Highcommand still saw him fit enough to run his own fleet. Supreme Commander Al'dera had asked Ezecheon to meet him on the sixth planet in the 'Oranile System'. It was a planet deep within Imperial space but still quite some distance from Earth, which Ezecheon had been ordered to return to for immediate debriefing by Highcommand itself. What could Al'dera possibly have to tell Ezecheon that it was important enough to delay returning to Earth. But it was after all Al'dera that was responsible for his promotion, so he was not going to question his previous mentor.

It is the 5th month of the year 2025, and Commander Ezecheon has been in the 'Efcalon System' for 9 months now. As soon as he arrived the enemy had already invaded the 3rd planet in the system 'Ebon'. After 9 days battling throughout the system, followed by a 3 week campaign to obliterate the enemy off the face of the planet, Ezecheon's fleet spent just short of 2 months guarding the system from enemy convoys trying to take back the planet, before they gave up. But for how long Ezecheon wondered, the enemy never gave up. They had populated over 5 times of the universe than his people, and although their forces were of equal strength, they could easily win by numbers alone.

Since he had entered the system he had lost one of his scout ships, one of his Intergalatic Class Frigates, and a 3 squadrons of starfighters off other vessels. It wasn't that much of a lose considering how many enemy vessels very destroyed, but Ezecheon had just got his fleet, and he was already losing it, he felt like it was his fault for bad commanding, but it was he good commanding skills that had prevented more forces being lost. On top of losing ships in his fleet, he had also lost soldiers in the planet campaign, although a lot of the forces on the planet were already stationed units, and civillian support, he still felt that the loses were his fault, a feeling that any newly appointed commander felt. In normal circumstances a Highguard Commander that performed badly would have been removed from his post, but these were not normal circumstances with the war being at its peak, and Ezecheon was not a bad commander.
