[Kain904]

Dungeon Keeper, nuff said.

 

[IxionIndustries]

Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Total Annihalation, Netstorm, Dungeon Keeper, Evil Genius, Total Annihalation; Kingdoms, and finally Rise of Nations; Rise of Legends.

 

[SP MeaslyBinkie]

Dawn of War: Winter Assault or Command and Conquer:Red Alert 2 Yuri`s Revenge

 

[Argentavis]

Dawn of War series, certainly.
Battle for Middle Earth II and Warlords: Battlecry III as runner ups.
At least until I can get Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, Supreme Commander and Universe at War, the demos I tried were amazing.

 

[AlphaOmega]

Age of Mythology
Age of Empires 2
Warcraft 3
Total Annialation

games i havent played enough to judge yet:
Supreme Commander
Age of Empires 3

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.

Damnit, you made me install that game and start playing it again...

Supreme Commander (forged alliance, i must add) is AMAZING!.......

second favorite would be........ Command and conquer (most all of em)......

third, World in Conflict

fourth, starcraft

and fifth, total annihilation

Supreme Commander hands down, after playing this RTS all other RTS's look shallow. I was a huge C and C fan, until I played Supreme Commander.

Supreme commander has a transport system that it is possible to have factories make a unit and immediatly load and fly it to the combat zone, all completely automated (aside from setting up the queues and the landing zones.) The wreckage from enemies can majorly scar the environment.

One of my favorite things that happened in that game was when the enemy player made an experimental (biggest units in the game) airship. I sent AA planes and had my SAMS shoot at it. Luckily I shot it down before it fired a shot, however the HUGE plane fell out of the sky and crashed hard into the center of my base. It hit one of several of my nuclear powerplants that then went critical and blew up taking out other nearby plants and destroying almost everything. The enemy player literally won the war because I won the battle.

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

 

[Panzer_God]

Rome total war for a campaign RTS ad Starcraft for a pure RTS

 

[Ulfsson]

Even with the hate going around, I enjoy C&C3. (Tiberium Wars)

Otherwise! Age of Mythology, Company Of Heroes, Sins Of A Solar Empire.

Also Demigod for a hybrid style thing.

 

[xenxander]

I first thought "Age of Mythology", or "Rise of Nations", but then I thought back further and realized it's a toss up between:
Homeworld and Perimeter.

If you've never heard of Perimeter, I suggest you find it - it's cheap now a days and rather ingenious.

 

[darkeldar1]

any total war games. both dawn of wars. and C&C 3.

Peace through power.

 

[squeekenator]

The Dawn of Wars, Company of Heroes and Red Alert 2 would have to be my favourites.

 

[Nurb]

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.

 

[Signa]

Supcom is definitely my favorite, followed by its predecessor, Total Annihilation. I really want to love Company of Heroes, but I just can't get into it. WAY too much micro managing for me to enjoy. Also, the AI is selectively helpful when I'm at the controls. I've had several squads of infantry just stand around with their thumbs up their asses while a single guy with a flame thrower torches my base 10' from them.

I really enjoyed Warcraft 2 back in the day, but Warcraft 3 didn't do a lot for me. I had played TA by then, and if it wasn't TA, it wasn't good enough for me. As a result, I've never played Starcraft.

 

[Christemo]

dawn of war: dark rusade and dawn of war: soulstorm is some of my favorite games ever. warcraft 3 is also pretty good, especially because people make so many custom maps for it.
majesty is also pretty awesome.
warhammer: Mark of chaos was good. as it had awesome graphics, good storyline and Cannons. fire-spitting cannons! (literally)
battle for middle earth 2 was also pretty fun, but it became a little boring after a while.

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.

 

[bookboy]

company of Heroes, both the original and Opposing Fronts.

 

[Shazbah]

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

Try the Total War series, they are awesome! Played Rome and its two expansions plus Medieval 2 and its expansion. Im trying to find all the old game and get a better computer for Empire

 

[Zero-Vash]

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want large armies set in the future- StarCraft, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and Sins of a Solar Empire. Smaller armies in the future is Dawn of War. Medieval times with large armies is Age of Empires. Small armies with a medieval fantasy kinda theme would be Warcraft. Modern time would be Command and Conquer. Thats my run down of the genre.

And so I don't get heat from anyone this is only from experience. These are the RTS's I have played and my take on them
