good RTS games

[sonoma1993]

What are some good rts games that are out there to get?

 

[Schadenfroh]

Command and Conquer 1 and C&C Red Alert 1 for single player
Starcraft for multiplayer

 

[Malladine]

For more recent games frown::beer: shad) try Warcraft 3 + expansion, C&C Generals, Age of Empires 3, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War.

 

[sonoma1993]

yeah I have the old orignal command & conquer and cc generals around here somewere. I'll have to check out aoe3. I also have civ 3 and 4, are they rts or turn base stratgy or whatever they are?

 

[Nohr]

Rise of Nations.

 

[sonoma1993]

is there a demo out of aoeIII?

Turn based, Civ 3 is worthless, i am starting to like Civ 4, however.

That's a little harsh. Civ 4 is apparently superior though. I got the demo...will be waiting for the price to halve on Civ 4.

I heard Earth 2160 is actually pretty good.

The demo was pretty fun. Not enough to make me want to buy it at full price though. Man i guess i'm cheap :Q

another vote for Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War. (plus expansion) Great game.
recently I have been playing Starcraft and Warcraft III over again. (great)
Also, C&C Generals is alot of fun (and cheap)

Darwini is a pretty good and very fun RTS game, though nothing like you're probbably thinking about, (read: Lemmings on crack).

 

[Malladine]

Seriously, no RTS fan should be without wc3...

 

[PoisonCandyGram]

Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are both amazing. I still play them constantly. I'm looking into buying Darwinia, it looks awesome as well.

 

[thecrecarc]

earth 2160

 

[Fenixgoon]

more votes for Warhammer: Dawn of War and Starcraft

easily 2 of the best RTSes in existence, both IMO are way >>>> warcraft3

 

[clamum]

Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 1 and 2
Age of Empires II (played the demo of III, liked it)
Total Annihilation

Never played any of the Warcraft games but I hear they're good.

 

[murban135]

Rome Total War
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War
Rise of Nations

 

[GullyFoyle]

Total Annihilation - I swear I played it for two whole years...

I still play it, best RTS game of all time!

 

[Powermoloch]

Command & Conquer series FTW !

 

[Schadenfreude]

S.W.I.N.E.

It links to another thread I made about it.
It's not the must-have RTS game, but hey, it's free!

 

[Xyclone]

WC3 and AOEIII are my favorites.

 

[DeathReborn]

Z (old but it was so much fun)
Total Annihilation (one of the best RTS games ever made, a pioneer of 3D RTS)
Starcraft (almost perfection in an RTS)
Warcraft 2 (lacks the looks but has bucketloads of humour & gameplay, both I think Warcraft 3 lack)
Dark Reign (underrated RTS title)
Dune 2000 (remake of the almighty Dune 2 but with full Mouse support and much better graphics)
Warhamer 40K: Dawn of War (a RTS that showcases a much loved hobby of mine)
