I have enjoyed many a game throughout the years. Populous 3, warlords Battlecry 2, Battle Realms, Warcraft 3, and more. But one game sticks out above the rest, one game kept me coming back for months on end without even playing online. And that game is Starcraft.
Favorite RTS

supcom FA rocks, but got tired of it because could only do me v 1-2 computers before comp before i got to 1minute in RL=6 secs game time. never tried it online cause i am sure i would get raped. and my god that no building outside this area for 20 minutes things makes it so much fun, kills zerging and for people like me who love making awesome armies with awesome bases then fighting from that it is perfect.
WC2 rocked in every ways
WC3 royally screwed the pouch in fighting but the custom games are damn fun
starcraft, do i really need to say anything?

Total Anhiliation is the god of all RTS's
I even love the sibling, Supreme Commander. You cant beat 1000 unit games.
My favorite all time RTS is Rise of Nations. That was the greatest game, i cant stop playing that.
Starcraft is fun and I sometimes still play Starwars Battlegrounds

Homeworld rings a bell but i just cant remember what game it was. Would anyone mind telling me some details about the game?
And i noticed noone said anything about The moon project, do you people think it sucks or just dont know the game?

Company of heroes, any rts that can realisticly use cover and suppression fire as that game deserves credit. If only I could find a way to get rid of the population limit, are there any mods out there for it?
Warcraft II was the first game PC game I ever bought, so it has a special place in my heart (I read the manual 50 times, they don't make game manuals like that anymore). I also like the Myth games because they were so gory and brutal (great manuals, again). Warcraft III was great on the first run-through, but the second play showed that it was waaaay too scripted, it didn't feel like I was actually doing anything.
The Total War games are all awesome, but they are almost in their own category of RTS.

Very Glad to see someone mention Populous, that game was so very fun.
Urm, while it isn't the best RTS ever; the first C & C game is genius: it was the first RTS I ever saw and it burned itself onto my mind. There was something about it that put RTS games as a whole into my circle of Love. Even when playing other games (Usually FPS's) I still, from time to time, say "That was left handed" In the most gruff and overtly hetrosexual "commando" voice i can manage. (Oh and the sound of an obelisk of light "warming up", and the following scream from the lone soldier hit by it, still finds its way into my dreams
Recently, i'll have to say DoW but I doubt it will remain with me long... Its a fine game and i've enjoyed many an afternoon playing it, but it lacks that something that would make me truly worship it.
Last thought, i've seen supreme commander mentioned afew times in this thread and would like to ask: How Awesome is it? I eagerly anticipated its arrival, gleefully remarking it would be a new kind of RTS, then failed to purchase it or even look into it a great deal. This is a wrong I would like to right. Thanks in advance.

it is the best, the Supreme Commander has an O.K. map editor (its a hell of a lot simpler than the Starcraft or HL2 one). Ive also used the Galactic Battlegrounds map editor which is really similar. I think its because you dont use decals and you stay in one land type.redstar alpha said:
Classic TA is still awesome so many years on. Sorry, but SupCom just can't live up to it.
World in Conflict gets a mention too for finally being an RTS that I can play online. Doing away with the traditional bases and resorces system 'fixed' the problems I had. The last time I tried an RTS multiplayer before WiC was a 6 player LAN game of C&C Generals. One guys army of demotrucks and mobs, and another guy with 14 scud storms, really no fun. Resorce management sucks for multiplayer playability.

I would have to say blizzard's rts are my favorites, because of the story. but I also like total war, aoe, and tiberium wars
P.S.
I would have to say that starcraft 2 is my most anticipated rts in the near future.
