Best RTS?
- Thread starter Korey Von Doom
- Start date
Homeworld - single player (there was nothing like trying to get those poor souls home)
Starcraft - multi player* (I'm not too good at it anymore, but I cant deny the quality)
*
And no one better say WarCraft 3 single player, because the plot was the exact same plot out of Starcraft, just with fantasy in place of sci-fi)

Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 also get my vote, especially when it comes down to the multi-player aspect. I've spent so many wee hours playing those games over LAN with friends. For Red Alert 2 I would add Yuri's Revenge when it comes down to the single-player campaigns.madbird-valiant said:
You should play Total Annihilation!! If you like to be a defence, you can win a game in that just buy building a defence. You have weapons like the big bertha and nukes that can (if your crazy enough) win the game without building a single ground (or land, or air) attack unit lols.KoreyGM said:

Command and Conquer Tiberium Sun. Still remains one of my favorite RTS games of my life. Started playing it the year it came out (I was eight, and terrible at it) and had a blast. Even now the story still amazes me, and the building designs, weapons, soldiers, just I hate to sound almost fanboyish, but I just plain love this game.
Company of Heroes is high on my list though it lacks a certain something. Dawn of War is about same, and I always loved IG artillery.
Although I would say my fave RTS for a very long time was Original War. A game where the player had to think tactics, not "The Heaviest Tank wins". Each map opened up new possibilities for the player. In some maps you could not afford multiple tanks because they would just get stuck in tight woodland, and getting them anywhere would need bulldozers and the such. You could set up proper ambushes using Snipers, bombs, mortars... And what would beat the wonderful meatshield of "Monkey people" whome you could train almost limitlessly? Well, untill they all went extinct because you drafted too many.

i always say Its Different per person, like every game. each person has different Expectations, and strategy's they will apply to it, and will want different results, be amused by different things, myself i like Age of Empires 3's home town Exp, Deck System and the Effects of the cannonballs on people and buildings, while my friend likes Civ 4 and the Longevity that he can make a game do
The posts on this thread are all a bit repetitive... I guess it shows just how popular all these games are.
Anyway, I'm going to be an individual and go for Starcraft, Rome and Empire: Total War, and Star Wars: Battlegrounds. The latter was a total AoE 2 clone, but I didn't care... I had some epic, endless custom battles where all six factions started with almost infinite resources.
Oh, and Company of Heroes. What made me uninstall it? I guess it's time for another run-through.
