A lot of my friends are hardcore starcraft players.I Liked the original command and conquer but the style of gameplay was not my thing.

I like RTS to a certain extent. I enjoyed Empire Earth, and CnC zero Hour. But I'm not much of a competitive player and I never really got the 'Oh, wow.... I want to play this every day!' vibe like some of my friends get from it. I guess RTS just isn't my thing, though I still like to play ZH and World in Conflict (Though WiC is more of a RTT(Real Time Tactics)) every now and then.
A love/hate thing. The kind of games that I always start at lowest difficulty to then find the point where the enemy puts quite some pressure onto me but without forcing me into hectic rushing. I want to take my time. I stay away from multiplayer - it always gets mean and nasty 
Age of Empires, Rise of Nations, WarCraft 3, and StarCraft are all in my favorite game series of all time list.
A few. The Age Of series was AMAZING. I have great memories with Age of Empires 2: The Conqueror's Expansion and Age of Mythology. AoE3 is extremely good, too. But I don't really like the overly-complex, preplanning-required Starcraft style games.
I like some, like the Dawn of War series, I have fond memories of Empire Earth and Age of Empires II, and I like me some Total War, if that's counted. I know some people don't because of the turn based parts.
This of course, is a very unbalanced poll, since almost only people who like RTS will click this link.
That said, I do like Generals and Age of Empires, but only the Skirmish mode. I hate the fact that you basically play God, and still someone keeps yelling in your ear what you should do. That's why I don't play campaign with RTS, along with the fact that it always restricts you from buying the good stuff.

I love Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. My late older brother turned me onto the game way back when it first came out and I still love playing it. I just the AI was a little more intelligent. -_-
There's nothing more thrilling than watching your Kirov Airships approach an enemy base or sending 10 prism tanks to eradicate the enemy! >:-D

No.
I tried to like them. After all, I'm rather fond of the idea of being a tactical genius.
However, I tend to have a problem with games that don't put me in control of a particular character, I do not find them engaging. Also, the top-down perspective robs RTS games of any drama or tension. It's hard to feel invested in a battle when it's taking place between what may as well be funny-shaped insects.
Oh yeah, and they never have good stories. Yet for some reason they insist on crowbarring a story in there anyway.

Yeah I like playing RTS. Something I want to take the backseat and it's not "me" who is kicking their asses (letting the units doing the work and it's a good feeling when you made you own base and a huge army).
