I just finished my playing single player campaign of supreme commander 2. Thought I should share my experience here, not to the extend of a detailed hardcore review, just what I gotta say.
Supreme commander 2 is a sequel to the earlier Supreme Commander (or SC1) is a strategic scale scifi RTS featuring a, as usual, clash among three factions, in this case, of the human race --- the militant United Earth Federation, the religious Illuminates and the geeky Cybran Nations. I say strategic to mean player employs strategic nuclear missiles, long range artillery and large scale fighting group in game; not to mean the level of command and control, which is still tactical.

Supreme Commander 2 is set 25 years after the conclusive battles of the so-called infinite war, which lasted 1000 years, fought back in SC1. A coalition between the UEF, Illuminates and Cybrans was formed at the end of the war to counter an alien invasion, which was featured in the SC1 expansion called Forged Alliance. By the time SC2 takes place the elected leader to coalition government was assassinated. The alliance broke down and a supposingly senseless war broke out again. Since the setting is at least 1000 years after our time, you can expect their technology is hundred times ahead of us.

Unlike other RTS in the market, which you can expect fights between the twenties, in SC2 it is between hundreds.
