Supreme Commander for the 360, in my time of having it, I've never had a game on it, EVER.
Same, but I would have put that down to the game not having the most friendly interface for console, I think the first game was made for PC gamers through and through not for us mere mortal Console owners :p

From what I heard online games could also take ages for SupCom, and well FPS - 15 mins a game and online Console RTS - 1 -2 hours with most of that building an economy and expanding? I would think a lot of people wouldn't have the patience.
The original Supreme Commander has a unit, the Mavor strategic artillery. It has about an 80 hour build time if your only using one constructor.

Yeah, matches can take forever. Although that unit is really only built if the match is taking forever anyways, it's a stalemate breaker, one hit kills almost anything, and unlimited range; you're usually better off just pumping out low tier units and swamping the enemy.

This applies to every game I play except for halo (which I'm playing right now). This happens because I only buy games when their price drops since its been out for a while.
Lol, me, too. I don't pay over $20 for games. ;)
Same here. Except for Reach and Dead Rising. They are (halo) and were (Dead Rising 2) my two fanboy series.

Now that Blockbuster is going out of business I hope to get some more games for ten bucks or less. Like I did when Game Crazy went under

I used the Mavor a few times against NPC's in deathmatches I didn't really like it though or any of the other Endgame UEF units, I always prefered the Aeon Tier 4 I'm not sure why but they always seemed to build at half the speed as UEF if they actually did or if it were my imagination I never bothered to find out however.

But I wouldn't play the online multiplayer I don't have the skill to manage an economy and military while using scout planes against a human opponent, just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

Yeah the multitasking is overwhelming.

I prefer fatboys, fully upgraded command unit can pump them out really fast if you have the economy to support it; then all you need is air cover and you can (slowly) steamroll the enemy.

MechAssault 2 is pretty much dead. Once in a long while you'll see a clan match going on, but other than that no one plays it. Sad too, since there's nothing else like it really. It was quite a lot of fun.

Call of Duty 4. Since I didn't get the Steam version, that means I can hardly ever get a game with new people. And since I only play TDM, and I don't like pretentious people who go for 'BOLT SNIPERS ONLY!!!1', I should probably just trade it back in for something else.
Is there really that few people on the pc version there's still round about 10000 people on all the time on the xbox.

I mainly played Blizzard games, and other games only when they were new. So I never had that problem. (And cs1.6)

The Red Orchestra games have a tiny player base. Usually about 100 people playing Ostfront, maybe 150 on Darkest Hour because of the American appeal. Mare Nostrum, as perfectly moddeled as it is, has literally nobody playing. Won Mod of the Year too...

Last few time I've tried to play assassins creed brotherhood on XBL i haven't been able to find a game which sucks. Anyone still playing?
The same thing happened to me a few months ago. It was so odd... At least I just rented.
