Which RTS?

SupCom with FA Expansion is good as said above
StarCraft
Total Annihilation (Old but epic)
C&C RA2 (Yuri's Revenge if you can find it)
Dawn of War (Warhammer based)
Star Trek Armada (Again if you can find it and you like Trek)
Sins of a Solar Empire (Best space based RTS out there, has long playability, my record game goes onto about 2 days worth of play with 4 players. I've played it with Entrenchment)

slightly off topic but does this actually work in w7 + can it actually run at a decent resolution? I've got it in my draw somewhere but remember it not working on vista properly lol

iirc you need to run it in compatability, I think theres another thread somewhere about it.. think max you play play is 640x800

you did WHAT?!

I was never a fan of the SupCom style of play that eliminates micromanagement... It feels like units are just disposable trash and you're constantly saving up for the next best tech because each more advanced level is much stronger than the first and the first stands no chance, and once you and your opponent(s) have all macroed up a huge army and upgraded the **** out of it you send them at each other, zoom out to max and watch the explosions happen.

There is never a clever way of using 3 or 4 AA batteries to take out an experimental; you just get steamrolled or steamroll them...

Might try CoH myself for the first time
 
Company of Heroes hands down.

I would say it has the best strategy gameplay out of all the games listed in this thread hence why it's regarded as one of the best RTS games ever made!

TA/SupCom is good for mass scale fun on LAN's and such, but the tactical side of CoH never gets old.

Battle for Middle Earth 2 and C&C Generals Zero Hour are other worthy mentions, but they still suffer from network bugs meaning they usually make your epic game session end.
 
Pretty much played every RTS out there over the years and would say that defo Company of Heroes is the best RTS imho. Not the most in-depth but incredibly addictive and great strategy. The fact I usually hate WW2 games (as they have been done to death) but still find it the best says it all for me.

An honourable mention for Sins of a Solar Empire too. Put a ton of time into that game. Awesome fun. Its touted as a 4X game but really its more RTS.
 
I don't get all the love COH is getting on this thread, i tought it sucked, no base building or resorce collecting.

Supcom/FA and Supcom 2
Homeworld 1+2
LOTR:BFME 1+2

are the best in my mind
 
On second thoughts, maybe not, I like my resources and bases :). Forgot about homeworld, yeah loved both games as well
