yer, I feel your pain.

All I can say is the last RTS's (if they classed as such) that I really enjoyed are:

Company of Heros
World in Conflict

Dont think I've enjoyed one since!

Total Annihilation + Expansions + TAUCP (fanmade units and AI boosts)

SC2 really that bad?

I've only just got round to completeing SC:Forged Alliance. Absolutely brilliant fun! Was going to play SC2 next.

Its not bad as such, its just a pitiful game when compared to its predecessor. In isolation its a decent game, completely dumbed down but its still a better game than the latest C&C games. Theres no tiered units, everythings just as crap as each other and theres practically no choice between them, the only jump is Experimental which still suck. It lost all the feeling of a large scale war that made TA and SC what they were and made a giant leap towards the small pitched battles of C&C.

This really. Its not Supreme Commander at all, really. Its mediocre commander at best :3

Don't think there is anything similar to Supcom 1 atm. Ruse promised much, but in reality the maps are still smaller than those in Supcom 1. I feel sorry and angry at Chris taylor for what he did to the game.

Yes! Very yes! Its a huge improvement over the original. Better UI, more units, everything about it is better than the original

Sounds like a try, thanks. Just got to find the cheapest download now

It's a shame they have ruined SC2

I was a bit concerned to see that the DLC included the Monkeylord experimental, when this was always part of SC :-/

Evilsod · 6 Nov 2010 at 23:58

Has anyone even got that DLC? Came so long after release, just gave the impression that they couldn't be arsed to do a proper expansion.

Definitely would recommend this. Truly amazing game. For the more 'modern' game however, Forged Alliance is the way to go. Enjoy

forged alliance is still an amazing game today, if you haven't played it then you're in for a treat.

mrchristian · 7 Nov 2010 at 03:33

try out the spring engine its an open source 3d rts engine with a total annihilation mod that is the same as the original but 3d and also quite a few other good rts mods for it too.

I got sup com 2 in the sale and I am enjoying it

Starcraft II

excellent single player and the multiplayer goes without saying really.. Give that a go.

All of the Starcraft Series has been amazing though to be fair

I agree, i bought it and played 2 games and turned it off it just doesn't feel right.

Im a big fan of RTS if its mass battles you want try one the total war series they're pretty good.

Starcraft II is worth a try too, i enjoyed what i played of the single player and the graphics are really good too.

coming for a different route, have you tried Sims 3 lol its actually quite addictive

Ohoh.. +1 for the Total War series... although i only played upto Rome, going to have to try some of the newer ones!

im playing through napoleon at the minute and i thought the use of firearms was going to be better but its not really, i recommend Medievil 2 and there is a LOTR mod you can get for the expansion pack which looks good but i haven't tried it yet.
