What are your Favorite RTSs?

[Veylon]

Starcraft, Age of Empires. And give Spring a try. It's free.

 

[AhumbleKnight]

Dawn of War (the first one with all or none of the expansions)
Dawn of War 2

I love a good RTS and these are the best in my humble opinion.

 

[veloper]

Rome Total War (RTT acually)
Medieval Total War (likewise)
Kohan
Homeworld
Majesty
Starcraft
Warcraft 3

 

[DrunkenKitty]

Dawn of War is better than Starcraft.

 

[Skizle]

The first command and conquer and red alert. After that, RTSeseses got boring because they're the same thing. Company of heroes and dawn of war were a nice diversion, but control point domination made me get rather annoyed

Dawn of War and Starcraft and on some occasions Warcraft 2. i refuse to acknowledge Warcraft3 as an RTS and more of a RPG w/ more strategy

I AM THE CHEESE. I AM THE BEST CHARACTER ON THE SHOW.

finally someone recognizes my avatar

 

[ElephantGuts]

Company of Heroes hands down. I can proudly say it's my favorite RTS by far, which is saying a lot because I can never pick favorites between everything. It's always "they're better at different things" with me. But CoH is overall the best. I love it.

 

[munx13]

Stronghold:Crusader, Red alert 2:Yuri's revenge, Warcraft 3, Rise of nations:TnP

Thank god someone has heard of Men of War, anyone who likes Company of Heroes will like this game better; direct control, inventory for every soldier, and a Soviet army

 

[Lukeydoodly]

Supreme Commander Forged Alliance.

Dawn of War DC.

Erm...Can't really thing of anymore.

 

[electric_warrior]

the first age of empires, still like playing it

 

[Clirck]

Settlers VI: Rise Of The Empire
It's so simple but so complicated that I just love it.

 

[ryai458]

age of empires 3 was great and halo wars for the 360 was basically as good as it gets on a console

Majesty: This one is kind of Crazy. It's closer to fantasy city-building game where you can't directly control units (although you do buy them), but instead have to try and motivate and empower them to do your bidding. Honestly, this game really walks the lien between RTS and empire building game, in a sense. It's fun, though.

That sounds quite interesting. I might have to check it out, if I can find a copy

you should. that game is so sweet. only thing it lacks is control over units. its also fucking hard without cheating.

Would it be worth waiting for Majesty 2, or should I just try to track down the original?

I too, used to be a C&C guy.... then i fell in love with Supreme commander (BTW Aeon FTW, amirite?)

Damned hippy, the UEF will crush you

 

[Vrex360]

The only RTS I ever really got into was Aliens Vs. Predator extinction on the original xbox. the main reason I liked it because I played as the aliens and therefore got to breed my own army. That and the fact that I needed to collect corpses to increase my troops numbers, grow the hive, infest the area and spread the horde. Crazy and wacky fun.

 

[rohit9891]

Company of Heroes,Rome:Total War,Dawn of War,Rise of Nations,Empire Earth & Sins of a Solar Empire

 

[Zykon TheLich]

Dawn of war and CoH. If DoW2 had married the two of them I would have been ultra happy, as it is the gameplay change and the Steam/Windows live bit is keeping me away...and the lack of IG.

 

[RetiarySword]

Company of Heroes, no contest.

 

[elitecrewer]

Starcraft, by a mile. Honourable mentions to CoH, Sins and Warcraft 2.

 

[Worr Monger]

Command & Conquer (Tiberian universe ONLY... Red Alert 1 was awesome, but it got retarded after that)

Gotta love Kane and the Brotherhood.... classic game.

Other than that... Starcraft.. great gameplay and story.

 

[zauxz]
