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.

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.

starcraft is still known as the best rts you can buy even though its about 10 years old

have fun trying to beat people online at it though

or if you want something different, try CIV 4, not an RTS but turn based game

Try Commandos 1 & 2.
I found Commandos 3 impossible. First mission and the sniper just gets you, tried various tactics.

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!!!!
