Looking for a new RTS game.

[FatRakoon]

Im looking for my next RTS game.

ANyone fancy giving suggestions?

I have :-

ROME ( Absolute rubbish )
Frontline ( Not too hot )
Commandos 3 ( tripe - Never got much cos I die in 10 seconds of playing )

Company Of Heroes - Amazing... This is my No.1 game at the mo.

So, anything like COH will be great, but of course open to any suggestions at all.

Yup, Rome Total War is utter poo... The one game I played, my entire army somehow got wiped out by a couple of dogs????

Anyway Supreme commander ? - Ok, seems to be popular.

World in Conflict?
Never heard of it... going to look for a demo on that too

Warcraft 3 - Hey I got that... Ill admit I only got it cos the cover looked nice, but I was not into that type of game at the time, so I didnt enjoy it... Ill have another go later.

Cossacks? - Hmm... Ok, I will have a look at that too!

Command & Conquer. I got a mate who has a silly number of the ones. Dont know about them, they dont look that much to me. I suppose I will need to loo again.

---

Ok thanks for all those everyone... I will have a peek at any demos and see what comes of it yeah?

Thanks a lot.

Suprised no one has said "Warhammer 40K - Dawn of War"

Medieval Total War 2?

WH40K - Now thats got a great intro...
My mate has that game... Not seen the game but he showed me the intro... Looks well sweet.. I will have a look on his PC at it and see what he says about it.

M.T.W - Isnt that just the same as ROME TW ?

Dont think medieval 2 is a good choice if he hates rome...

@ Fatrakoon: Lool did ya make peasants and militia only or something, dogs are easy to kill.

Medeval2 = Rome? - Well, there you are then.

Peasants / Militia? - erm... Wednesday mate at 4:30 ? ? ?? LOL
Ill have another go then and see WTF I did or did not do.

Hehe, It almost seems that you don't actually like RTS games. CoH seems fairly generic and everyone seems to like it.

Bingo.

No, you are probably right... COH does it for me, where none of the others have?

I suppose its the little things that makes me giggle in the game... Things like the engineers all being NewYorkers and saying stuff like "Oh What now" and other more mature things etc... Kind of makes me giggle.

I got frontline at the same time as COH but that just didnt grab me like COH did, and the really silly thing is that I absolutely hate the first level of COH ( The Beach ) so why did I carry on playing it?

Played StarCraft?

It completely and utterly destroys any RTS mentioned in this thread so far

Okaaayyy...

Destroys them does it?

In what way?

StarCraft? - Sounds ok, so I will add that to my "Check it out" List.

Thanks again all.

Ok, I phoned my mate up about WH40K and he said I can have the game... So, nacherly I just went up and grabbed it and came down and I have just been twonking about with it.

Its the same as COH in a lot of ways... Those blokes ( Forget their names ) are kind of like the engineers and are required to build stuff. The way you select and move your team is simlar to COH and all round a lot of similarities to the way CoH works.

Only played the tutorial, which I kind of followed and did the jobs required but then went on one and I think I pretty much completed it cos I owned the whole map, but could not be bothered waiting for some kind of congratulations message which might or might not come up, cos I was only on the tutorial as I said, but it looks good...

Quite funny really cos in my old uni days, we played nothign but MERP, AD&D and WH ( Im sure it was 20K back then??? - anyone else think that? ) but I would never have thought about it on the PC... Never! - Right, where is WarCraft3?

 

[FatRakoon]

it depends on what you want to get out of an RTS.

Great post, thanks.

Im still unsure what I do want to be honest.

They are not my cup of tea at all, or at least until CoH and now WH40K... Just been playing that as ORCS... Sad and funny at the same time.

"Follar me or i'll fump ya!" - Stupid stuff like that make the thing for me.

So, its a new genre for me... Im usually your Quake / Doom / UnReal type slob, this is not at all what I expected.

just over a week for the expansion pack

No way?

I didnt know that???

Bloody hell.

I got hold of Dark Crusade yesterday, and Im getting panned in it.

Its too sodding hard!!!

Massive Eldar armies keep coming from nowhere and wiping me out, just as my army is starting to get bigger and Im only on the second level.

Im on the verge of looking for some hints on this one.

 

[FatRakoon]

Well, Im now a fan of WH40K... Cant stop playing the bloody thing.

I completed Dawn of War and Im now going through Dark Crusade with the Orks... "Im dead ard"

Some of this is just so funny.

Supreme Commander looked a pile for me... I have it on, looked quickly for a small map to play nd I got like 2 dots... I zoomed in and found one was the big thing that I kind of managed to get it to build a ... Well, a building.

Toyed with it for a few minutes and now Im looking to flog that one off to my mate.

Battle for ME?... My mate has that I think? - he got it a couple of days ago so I will go have a look sometime.

Meanwhile Im just piddling my pants over the stoopid stuff da orks keep sayin'

This is gonna hurt... A lot... But it'll be betta!

PMPL!!!!
