even though it's not out yet the terran Nighthawk from SC2 looks awesome. it has hunter killers which are slow moving homing missiles that blow you into a fine snortable powder (once targeted you can't even burrow to escape from it).
Favourite units in an RTS?

Yeah, SC2 looks like it'll be good. I imagine that South Korean residents will kill eachother to get a hold of it.cabooze said:
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - Hammerhead gunships for sheer firepower and ability to soak up damage followed by devilfish carriers low damage but invisible and evil against infantry.
Starcraft - Zerglings with the movement and attack speed upgrades were like little demonic chainsaws running around and ripping everything to pieces.
C&C Generals - The Chinese heavy tanks with the propaganda towers for healing and bunkers for extra anti-infantry firepower.
Warcraft - Troll axe-throwers!

From Company of Heroes: Pershing, Jagdpanzer, King Tiger and Sherman with calliope.
People tend to flee from these.
Command and Conquer: Generals: GLA + Stealth general: hijacker (nothing beats having your opponent's tech tree as well, won me a few matches quite easily).
CnC: Red Alert 2: Kirov Airship (if you have one over your construction yard, then you have a problem!), Yuri Prime (like Yuri with range times 4-5, howto: start as an allied nation, spy on both a sovjet and an allied tech lab, then cap a sovjet lab.. I think), Desolator + desolator bug (irradiate an area for a loooong time with very, very, powerful radiation by making a desolator attack ground in stationed mode, fixed now) and the apocalypse-tank (ultra-powerful, shoots rockets at air-borne targets, utilizes its powerful cannons against ground targets. Oh, and it regenerates health).

I should probably get CoH shouldn't I? I've never really been a WW2 fan, although playing flash games made on a $3 budget about WW2 has changed that, it's actually pretty interesting. Although the fact Americans wont let it go pisses me off.TZer0 said:
Why would anyone want to let go of something that has every element of a good story? Action, romance, espionage, horror, etc.?CheeseSandwichCake said:
This, coupled with the fact that it's set in the perfect time period (right before 'the world lost its innocence') and it's just flawless. You can do anything with the setting in a video game or movie.
Catch 22 - A comedy set in WW2.
Inglorious Basterds (yes, that's spelt right) - A comedy/action movie set in WW2.
Any historical WW2 movie about a battle or events - Action.
Casablanca - Romance. WW2. Nazi's.
What a lot of people don't seem to understand is this: Americans don't glorify the bad things that happened. In fact, most Americans don't even care that it ever happened and ignore it completely, just like the rest of the world. There are some of us, just like there are some Germans, who understand the above and can enjoy things that take place in the period not because it invokes bad thoughts, memories, etc. But because it was a romantic period of world history that perfectly summed up and contained every ounce of what being a human is about.
Red Alert: Watching the Tesla Coils fry the little soldiers was always fun.
Starcraft: I used to love going into a high ressource game, choose the zerg, wait for the enemy to build about 20ish Battlecruisers or Carriers, while I build a handful of defilers with the Plague ability. Whats that you say? I killed all your expensive battlecruisers in 5seconds? I guess you have nothing to stop those lurkers in your base huh?
Warcraft 3: Dwarves of any kind. Can't get enough of that accent.

Get CoH on Steam if you're in Europe (10 euro for soooo good game). Then get Tales of Valor through Impulse (or somewhere else, cheaper on Impulse compared to Steam) and register the key ingame, Steam doesn't know I have ToVCheeseSandwichCake said:
(yes, it works, because when you download the original CoH on Steam, you'll get the files for ToV and Opposing fronts.. which you should get too).Just contact me if you need help
Awwww..... I remember this little dude.CheeseSandwichCake said:I used the search bar and something like this didn't come up on the first page so, yeah.
Mine was the ARM Peewee from Total Annihilation, it was just so cute, and it's response sounds were cute too
But for me, its gotta be...
EDIT: Sorry folks, didn't think the image was that big.
The reason I like Autocannon'd Heavy Weapons Teams:
There is just something magical about your offensive and defensive line be the same bloody line.You get a few HWTs, put some Basilisks behind them purging the very ground of the planet before them, and have an Ogryn and Kasarkin Squad tag along with your command squad romping around the map.
For the Emporer.

Forgot two of my favourites:
The Sipahis, mounted archers from the Turkish faction in Medieval II Total War
Mamluk Archers, mounted archers from the Egyptian faction in Medieval II Total War
I love these guys, they made life as a Muslim faction much more bearable!
