I think any fan of the genre should check out

Active development, amazing and customizable controls (seriously, is you’ve ever been frustrated fighting controls in an RTS, they’ve thought of solutions), and an extensive campaign that serves as a unit tutorial (not the most engaging story is my only regret).
Looks like another fan of TA/SC grew up to make their own RTS, and I’m here for all of them!
When it comes to controls, the number one thing I’m looking for is controller support, but I don’t see the tag there. I don’t suppose they’re supported and just not listed?
Nope, sorry, didn’t think about that for an RTS. Is definitely designed for keyboard and mouse.
I keep hearing about ZeroK and Beyond All-Reason. What are the major differences between the two and how do these compare with Sup Com FAF, TA and such?
Zero K is uglier but has a full campaign, more units, and is less micro intensive.
BAR has better graphics and tiers of units ala classic TA (zero K is flatter), and more active multiplayer.
They both have Total Annihilation as a distant ancestors.
