Need a multiplayer RTS

Pukk@pie · 4 Aug 2006 at 14:40

I am wanting to buy a new RTS game to play online with a couple of mates. What are the best ones out at the moment? , Battle for Middle Earth 2 and AOE 3 seem to have decent reviews - not sure which would be better. Any advice would be great.

Dawn of war: winter assault is good fun.

That or warcraft 3, which is just plain amazing.

Dawn of war again best RTS I ever played. (Except Command & Conquer)

Dawn of War
Dawn of War: Winter Assault (Expansion pack)
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade (Standalone game and expansion pack)

Dark Crusade gets released Fall 2006

AOE rocked

Command and Conquer 3 is also due out sometime in the near future I think.

That looks like it could be good
