[q]Supcom videos look really cool sure but its totally misleading lol, the game doesnt look like that when you play it. You dont fly around in some artistic zoomed in panning camera, nope you just move blobs around and run them into other blobs. Totally gay. [/q]

This is a bit of a silly place to say such things, isn't it? All the strat zoom games suffer from the "war of dots" effect, unless you deliberately choose to stay zoomed in. ZeroK is no exception.

Anyways, there's two ways to play these games. If you're in a competitive match, then you'll be using the view that gives you the best advantage - usually zoomed out, possibly with overlays, etc. Just like a competitive FPS player might have all graphics options turned down for best FPS, have textures or grass disabled to increase visibility of enemies, etc.

When you're playing casually or watching replays, you have plenty of time to zoom in, pan the camera around, and enjoy the graphics.

Well,
the
base
FA
didnt
even
have
rebindable
hotkeys!
It
had
to
be
added
via
modding.
Area
reclaim
is
also
useable
via
modding.
Although
SupCom
is
far
more
limited
in
area-style
commands
than
Zero-K
(
or
even
the
much
maligned
SupCom2.
)

Since the community took over and started FAF, many UI mods have been integrated into the "base" game. Unfortunately, there's a very vocal and influential faction of players & devs who are from the "Starcraft" school of RTS design. They actively resist features like area commands as "dumbing down the game." Which I think is a stupid point of view for fans of the TA-lineage RTS games, since advanced UI is one of our main features.
