Real Time Strategy

[KappaKid17]

Anyone else love RTS games? That's just about all I play on PC, in addition to FPS games. The problem is, I've played a ****-ton of RTS games, and am looking for some new ones. Here's all I've played to death: All the Warcrafts, Starcraft, both Age of Empires, Red Alert I and II, Command & Conquer: Generals. Can anyone give me some reccomendations on other RTS games?

[KappaKid17]

hopeless bump.

RISE OF NATIONS

Best. RTS. Ever

Great game

[NS_Joker]

starcraft/warcraft bum here. i dunno why but i hated RoN. seemed too complex and slow paced =( , the units were tiny

[Rats!]

Nothing beats Warcraft II.

[ClericKevin]

try cossacks + expansions, cool game, Rome total war, Rise of nations as said,

[Berty]

Yeah, try Rome: Total War.

[TheNowhereman42]

RoN and the Total war series are both really fun.

RoN is more for you Civilization types though

Oh and if you really like to be challenged with micro managment, check out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, theres like 7 of them I think, but they'r console.

RISE OF NATIONS

Best. RTS. Ever

Great game

uno dos tres

Probably because I owned your *** online

[KappaKid17]

Anyone tried/heard about Battle For Middle Earth? Looked pretty cool. I'm definitely checking out Rise of Nations after I buy Call of Duty.

[Orange Soda]

Woah woah..

What's wrong with you guys?

Age of Empires II : Age of Kings

Best RTS game ever.

:cool:

[KappaKid17]

Great game. I've played it so many times. Lost my disc though. :sad:

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

I'm getting Command & Conquer: Generals

Any good?

[KappaKid17]

Great game. Hopefully you've got a good enough amount of RAM and a decent video card to run it.

It's pretty fun online, as well.

[Arucard]

Generals online > All.
Honestly its that good.

'I WILL DIE FOR OUR CAUSE!'

[wearer of socks]

i really like cossacks: europeans wars

[KappaKid17]

Cossacks? Sounds interesting....What era is it based upon?

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

Great game. Hopefully you've got a good enough amount of RAM and a decent video card to run it.

It's pretty fun online, as well.


Yea my computer is pretty much top of the line right now



And Cossacks if I remember, is about the time of the Russian Revolution

And a new one coming out

[wearer of socks]

cossacks is pretty much an exact copy of age of empires, except with up to 8000 units each battle. It takes place around the 16-1700's eras. Its a few years old actually.

[Scuba_Steve]

Only 3 pc games I play

Warcraft3 : the frozen throne

Rise of nations- Thrones and Patriots

and

Command and Conquer Generals (no zero hour or w/e it is yet)

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

I like Cossacks because it's almost real life with bullets and stuff

Like a single cannon shot will wipe out a side, and if the whole frontline fires, a lot of men will go down

[wearer of socks]

the battleships are really cool in it, especially when you ram...did you ever play sudden strike? Its a wwII game made by the same company.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

RTS ww2?

[wearer of socks]

www.suddenstrike.com

its a pretty good game, definitly one of the more challenging wwII games. You cant build units so you have to conserve what you have. Also, you have to keep your soldiers supplied and your tanks run out of game. In each mission you can have over 1,000 units.

[KappaKid17]

Sudden Strike 2 looks pretty sweet, so does Cossacks. I'm gonna have to play a couple of demos.

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

Cossacks is a solid game

[Corpsey]

i never really got into RTS games except for Total Annihilation, lol

what ones do you recommend a novice should try?

[woodsinho]

Dawn of War is great fun, take and hold baby! Obviously you have to mention Red Alert 2 when you talk about great RTS games as well. Loadsa fun

[TheNowhereman42]

i never really got into RTS games except for Total Annihilation, lol

what ones do you recommend a novice should try?

Blizzard games, and the C&C series

[KappaKid17]

Red Alert 2

I am addicted to that game. If anyone wants to play, I'm MrBrasky on RA2.

I'd suggest this game to any beginners in RTS games.

[i am the robots]

/Warcraft freak enters

On Warcraft III Beta 1.16 or whatever, I was ranked #814 for FFA. I haven't played in a while, so I don't remember exactly what patch it was, it was some beta in June though, in WC I am Park-Esaul (WOEC Shaman bitches).

But the orignal RTS Warrior Of Rome tops the cake (#2 not #1, which is God Aweful), I suggest you all get the ROM for Warrior Of Rome II for Sega Genesis, it was 2 player, and you got to train your units for specific tasks, it is amazing.

[Radionic]

Yeah, try Rome: Total War.

Well thats not actually RTS, cos it's mostly turnbased. But get it anyway, its great fun

[KappaKid17]

Turn based eh? I think I'll still check it out. Cossacks appears to be pretty solid, as does Sudden Strike 2.

[wearer of socks]

cossacks and sudden strike have been out for a while so you can get them with the expansions together for $20 dollars which is awesome.

[zero_]

Starcraft is the best RTS game ever. I played that game a lot when I first got it. 10 hours straight once, I could hardly see after.

[KappaKid17]

sounds like me every day after I play Red Alert 2 for 3 - 4 hours.
