I'm looking for a little change of pace from FPS games, and would like some recommendations for a RTS game. I used to play Rise of Nations before (http://www.microsoft.com/Games/riseofnations/), but got bored of it pretty quickly. So what RTS games do you guys play?
WiC, Company of Heroes and I really like an old game called Blitzkrieg.
Company of Heroes is pretty awesome. Close Combat: Invasion Normandy is old, and I think not published any more, but is the best RTS I have ever played.
Stronghold Crusader > All Medieval RTS games.

Company of heroes, im telling you, you wont be dissapointed!
company of heroes is good, but if you like to play online, it's best to get a new RTS game (recently released) because the only people left playing old games are those who have already found and exploit certain strategies in the game... fun nonetheless
Starcraft is a classic. Also, Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour is fun also.
AOE2
C&C RA2
C&C Generals + Zero Hour

That's a rather difficult question, considering there are so many types of RTS's:
Medieval II if you like the stategic aspect and authenticity
Settlers if you like building stuff
C&C for fast paced fun
AoE goes nicely in between
Supreme Commander if you have patience, two monitors, a monster PC and want to feel almighty
You could also consider World in Conflict if you don't fully want to part with your FPS addiction Tom Clancy's EndWar could be added to the list as well, its very promising, but not yet released.

I wish somebody would redo Dune II. The real "mother" of all RTS games... Sigh...
AOE2, CnC Generals/ZH.
Don't bother with these newer games like CoH and WiC, they are full of fail.

I wasn't referring to Generals/Zero Hour, I was referring to the original, the original Red-Alert and C&C3 and AoM is just humoureous, especially if you know your mythology.SamTheMan:D wrote:

Dark Reign 1 and 2 are pretty good if you can find them.
They have to be the shittiest RTS I have ever played.SamTheMan:D wrote:
