Not sure if this has been posted on here before had a quick search but found nothing.

I'm sure most of you are familar with Total Annhilation, it's still up there with the best RTS's imo. Well this is an open source port to a 3D engine of the game basically. But the final goal is too create it's on game/story which there working on at the moment IIRC.
Anyway I digress, it's a free game with a decent online community. An ever growing modding community is always keeping it fresh aswell, with new maps and units being released.
Current Features
* Large battles (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/screenshots.php) limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 5000 units.
* Large, highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective water, and custom skyboxes.
* Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
* Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories.
* Many different mods, some of them originally from Total Annihilation, and some made just for Spring.
* Compatible with unit files from Total Annihilation, allowing 3rd party units to easily be moved into Spring.
* Complex 3rd party AIs, some of which are quite good.
* An extremely powerful GUI, designed to minimise unneccesary micromanagement.
* Frequent additions and bugfixes.
Currently in Development
* New, nicer GUI.
* New scripting engine.
* Platform-Independent Lobby Client.
* Many different maps, mods, and AIs.
Check it out and maybe I'll see some of you guys for an ass kicking!
The learning curve can be a little harsh if a good player rushes you when you'v barely got half of a base up though I warn you.
