I really should try CoH again but i always seemed to suck so badly at it. Got really annoying when the AI would attack you from places they could only reach by approaching from outside the map so you couldn't defend against it....
Are there any games like C&C ?

They have, 3rd reply.
OP you really should try starcraft II, excellent and varied throughout, I didn't find a single mission tedious, very much took me back to when the C&c's were fun. I think I've some trial guest passes if you don't want to risk the money.
It's got what you want, base building, army building, resource gathering.
A lot of RTS have moved away from the original C&c way of doing things, wish they hadn't.
If every RTS did the exact same thing since the original C&C we'd not have CoH or TA/SupCom. Its ironic really considering the more recent C&Cs pretty much defines how *not* to do an RTS.
Don't even need trial keys anymore, there are free trial downloads like wow on bnet website.

I agree somewhat evilsod, but I wish that C&c had stayed with what it did best, I think the series really went down hill after generals, there was an obsession to not be like the original game, to do something-anything different.
I have enjoyed other RTS's, CoH is very good but I'd love to see Dune the battle for arrakis with the same gameplay but polished up a little.

Even better, no reason not to give it a shot.
Some people prefer Men Of War to Company of Heroes - give it a look.
I've been looking into it myself, company of heroes has huge problems with many not being able to get the multiplayer working (myself included). which is a shame as it's a fantastic game

This sounds very very promising.
I loved halo wars on 360.
Was ranked top 5. Mainly down to lack of players lol

I had that on my playstation!!! I dont think the ps had enough juice to keep up with it on later missions. Im not sure if any game did what warzone did before but it was a pretty neat concept(designing all your own units and such)
If i had to give my 2 cents i would recommend dawn of war, i found the single player a bit tedious but online it was epic. I would have played it more but WoW kinda took over. Dawn of War and Company of Heroes have very similar play styles, so it depends what appeals to you more

Not many decent rts games around these days to be honest. Starcraft 2 is by far the best I'd say. I know people love it, but I never got into company of heroes.
Best (or at least most enjoyable, which surely means best) RTS game I have played in recent years is World in Conflict. It involves little men with tanks, planes, helicopters, awesome artillery and nuclear weapons. You'll love it.
Also has the best explosions/destruction I have seen in an RTS game. The story isn't bad either.

Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance
/thread
This. I'm a huge C&C fan and only tried Supreme Commander last year but glad I found it
You can get the pack with the FA addon for next to nothing.Christ, I used to love this game! Had it on PC, then on Playstation and still think about it all the time - any more games like this? I love the way you research different parts and build your own tanks - epic game
Awesome link, chaparral, cheers!
Edit: Links to the latest stable release and latest beta - both latter 2010 so high hopes for Win7 compatibility

Im playing it on win 7, hasnt crashed in 10 hours of gameplay. The pathfinding on units and general unit clumsiness makes me want to tear my hair out though. Was it always that bad
?Supreme Commander the first one not the horrible second one
+1
By far the best base-building RTS ever made. Definitely pick this one up with the Forged Alliance expansion.
