Your fav RTS game
 

Mine is Warcraft 2.
Age of Empire and Total Anihilation come close.
More recent games don't bring along much novelty, imo.
Just dozens of different units or units improvement (even Starcraft has too many units: flying units that can attack ground units only, or flyng units only, spells, counterspells, I can't keep in mind all the abilities).
I've been playing Warcraft 3 demo: the camera/zoom effects looks nice, but it doesn't improve the gameplay, it makes it difficult to have a global view of the area.

Age of Empires 2

mine is Gaulbert Is An Idiot

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun

Starcraft, like my strong Korean brothers know to be the best.

settlers

all of you are wrong. so very very wrong. I've played and loved those games too, but DAWN of (fucking) WAR is where it's at.

the best part is, you can play any of the "expansions" separately.

I found the most recent (DoW: Soul Storm) on ebay for $8.

WTF constitutes RTS anyway? Is FF Tactics a RTS or...?

monopoly.

anything where I kick your ass.

generally RTS drive me nuts, I get too involved in small sections and can't handle that much scope at once. han solo plays that stuff. it doesn't really give me a rush like a good rpg/fps does. I wish he'd get over his alien phobia though.

I just stand behind him every so often and be a back seat driver.

"you should put those there"
"what? stop go away!"
*pEW PEW PWEEW massive explosion*
"no really, I think you sho.."
"seriously, shush now"
*phoenix puts finger in his ear*

Real time strategy games are different than stuff like the NiS/Tactics stuff, right?

I guess, my favorite REAL TIME STRATEGY game in Age of Empires. But my favorite strategy game, period, is Disgaea 2.

only played CnC Red Alert and Starcraft/SC:Brood War.

Tactics isn't RTS, those are more akin to TBS games (turn based strategy). RTS means it's all done in real time, no pauses between moves.

lol Halo Wars

oh okay. I don't think I've ever even played an RTS then. I like TBS.

Need more tbs. I don't know of any other besides tactics

I just found this and I made MYSELF laugh. Haha.

typical answer, Starcraft, honorable mention to Warcraft II. Always wanted to play Dune II though.

Favorite TBS though, X-COM: UFO Defense for sure.

@nr. Wouldn't you explain why posting a thread about rts games makes me an idiot?
I know precisely why, but please, do tell publicly why you're so clever about everything and everything I post is dull.

I have no idea Gualbert, I said that a year ago. I was just being a jerk I guess. But it was so random that I found it funny when I saw it again.

haha, one of the more random hate crimes on this board.

Toy Soldiers from xboxlive

Sometimes I think you're an agent for nintendo or universal.
"Hey!! I like Sonic Youth, I'm with you folks!!
(now this is done)

btw, do you know the new mc hipster, and mario 46, they're AMAZING, you should purchase them at once!!"
Waoh.

you never let me down, gaulbert.

I could set my watch by the consistency of yr suck.

Probably Starcraft, although I did play a hell of a lot of Age of Empires.

gualbert is an idiot though, there's no arguments there.

Warcraft II: The Dark Saga.

I have a friend who fucking loves Command and Conquer: Red Alert: Retaliation on Playstation and would always try to get me to play it with him. I couldn't stand the controls and the game just looked and played like shit in general. I like some of those earlier C&C games though, on computer anyway. But if he posted on here, that's what his answer would be.

Can't imagine what Warcraft II: Dark Saga is like to play.

Uhhhmmm...Diablo 2?

dood.....you know that's like not rts tright?

:( nope.

I don't think I've ever even played an RTS game.

There are only a handful worth playing.

Total Annihilation is supposed to be great, I'll probably try it sometime soon.

CM, ever play Batallion Wars?

I much prefer turn-based strategy, but even then I'd rather play an action game. I'm more of a hands-on kinda gamer.

I'm really lost with the Gualbert-hate posts seems like an ok poster to me. I hope it's just your alter-ego so you can freely attack without hurting anyone's feelings.

No, never even heard of it. Good stuff? Or I'll just look it up.

I watched a couple of videos of it. Pretty interesting looking. Kind of has a Conker's Bad Fur Day look. This game reminds me a bit of Brothers In Arms, which had similar shooting/real time tactics mechanics, though I don't think you could manage artillery/air units/etc. like in this. I've always been interested in seeing more of these kinds of strategy games that are less um, omniscient (wish I knew the antonym for that) and a little more at the ground level. I think Company of Heroes explores that some. I'm not sure.

But this Battalion Wars, yeah I could play it.

isn't this TBS?

Transport Tycoon Deluxe !!!

nope. The rest of the series is TBS, but Batallion is RTS.

a friend of mine made this RTS and he's making enough out of it to be able to quit his job.
