Age of Empires 1, 2, 3 for some old-school RTS?

This. Although, I'm not sure I would include the third one in that. The first and second were blinding games back in their day though.

Going through an RTS revival myself also, mainly due to the Steam sales. DoW 2 is great fun and appeals to the loot-grabber in me. Empire Total War is ok, but gets a bit samey as every unit seems to use muskets. Downloading Medieval 2 TW right now as an alternative. But my favourite RTS right now has to be Company of Heroes. I'm not far in, but already hooked.

Company of heroes is a great game, it's also worth checking out is the demo for 'Men Of War: Assault Squad' which is due for release next month.

Another vote for Company Of Heroes here!!!

The basic game is good enough but the "Blitzkreig" mod is also fantastic!!!

Another shout for company of heroes.

Its much better though playing against people you know rather than against randoms. I guess the same could be said for most games.

Get tales of valor if you plan on only playing multiplayer, it gives you all the factions.

Shogun 2 is a RTS but also half turn based stratergy.Perhaps it's that part you dont like ? (I'm really enjoying it so far)

Some of my favorites..

Starcraft 2
Dawn of War 2
Settlers 7
Company of Heroes
Command and Conquer (tiberium dawn)

COW or DOW for "smaller" scale RTS

Supcom for... lol lots of units and supcom2 for the medium ground.

SC2 - Single player campaign is annoying... i was a huge SC fan but cant do the campaign for long it just winds me up. Totally Over Blizzarded.

Start with the best, the original command and conquer, kanes introduction is more then worth it.

Can't believe how many people rate CoH over MoW.

Get Men of War (The first one) possibly the best RTS I have ever played, and I have played most of them. Only one which comes close in my opinion is Supcom 1 / Forged Alliance.
