Couch Co-Op: Couch or Local Co-Op allows players to use one copy of the game with multiple controllers to play co-op. This includes both split screen play and same screen play. Couches are not required.

SplitScreen: The TV is split into multiple screens so each co-op player gets their own viewpoint. The screen could be split vertically or horizontally.

LAN or Systemlink: Co-Op Play is available over a Local Network or System Link Connection. Most likely a router will be required, but you may use a crossover cable in some cases.

Drop-In/Drop-Out: Players can join or leave a cooperative game session at anytime without disrupting an existing player's game.

The Co-Op Experience: Play against the computer with up to 2 friends in a skirmish mode.

Pushing the RTS genre to new levels Supreme Commander introduced battles the size of which hadn't been seen before. SupCom (as it's often abreviated to) alowed players to have a unit cap of 750 (and there are mods to push this further). The game has many similarities to Starcraft, most importantly the ability to play to your own style of strategy.

The coop in the game is basically skirmish missions against the computer. The maps though are less inspiring and just resemble arenas rather than realistic terrain. Also the AI is largely disappointing (although improved in the addon) and easily beaten on most settings. From experience the Balanced AI setting offers the most challenge to seasoned players.

Supreme Commander is an excellent game though and would suit anyone looking for a new RTS to play.

SupCom is a game of tremendous ambition that only manages to live up to part of it. If it has a fatal flaw, particularly for co-op play, it is that the AI is easily mastered by a decent human player, almost regardless of setting. I routinely played this with two friends for quite some time, facing off against a variety of combinations of 3 AI players. However, this really just limits the longevity of the game, as you will probably find the AI to be an acceptable opponent for some time. Playing with other people really shines when players choose different methodologies that complement one another. It's certainly worth picking up for anyone who has ever been an RTS fan and there is still a good community of players even now, so finding someone to play with shouldn't be a challenge.
