Make7upu101 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 My friend gave me Warcraft 3 on my flash drive the other day and I've been learning the little differences from other rts games. I've played a bunch of other rts type games including Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, and Galactic Battlegrounds and really like most of them. So far I've been liking the little rpg elements in Warcraft plus I like how it moves faster. Are there any other good ones anyone has played? Why would you reccomend these over the others?

RebelAssassin Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Command and Conquer, best rts genre (before EA got ahold of it) www.PETAkillsanimals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Dawn of War and both expansions were very good. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Putter Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I could easily write a long essay on the depth's of Warcraft 3 and psychological qualities of it, but I won't (just yet...). I would say it's easily the best RTS I've played, AoK coming in second. I don't play that many, but I really wanna check out Company of Heroes when my new computer arrives.

Harrington Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Im quite fond of Age of empires, and rise of nations.. :] Yeah, the whole Age of Empires series was fantastic. I personally enjoyed the Total Annihilation games, but they're a bit dated now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'm not a huge fan of RTS's (I had my fun with AoE II and III though) but I love turn based stratagys such as heroes of might and magic 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I am not a huge fan of RTS games, but I just got DEFCON, which seem to be pretty good - if a bit of a steep learning curve. I am more of a turn based person, with my two favourite being Civilisation 4 and X-COM Apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I also enjoy the turn-based ones more. Rome: Total War and Civilization 4 both completely take away my life when I start to play them. As far as RTS go, I liked AoE II and Red Alert I and II best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yes, I've played 2 and 3. I don't really like them, I don't think they're bad games - they're just not for me. Like how a girl can be attractive but just 'not your type'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 :o I want to play RTS games with you guys! I remember my days of Starcraft, having 3 hour long battles on the internet ^.^ I have the expansion but i cant find the normal game :cry: If anyone ever wants to start playing some kind of RTS, just tell me. Dawn of war any good? Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how a girl can be attractive but just 'not your type'. Yeah the biggest reason I enjoyed them is playing 'hot seat' mode with a bunch of friends. I had battles that could go on for literal days worth of game time.. it was awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Just bought supreme commander from Wallmart. Looks like a good game, and i havent played RTS' in a long time. The requirements are really high though :shock: . My come can handle it though. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

jgrazotis Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Empire Earth is ok but the second 1 is heaps better thanks to mitsubishi64 who made this sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icingdeath Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Star Wars: Empire at War is fairly good. Total Annihilation is the best RTS game ever made. The fanbase is still huge after so many years, and there are endless 3rd party additions, like units and maps. It's great. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make7upu101 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 One of the best parts is the fact that although warcraft 3 only has 4 classes, each one is drastically different. I prefer that over 30 or so of about the same thing in AOE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cosinus Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes, I've played 2 and 3. I don't really like them, I don't think they're bad games - they're just not for me.

I had battles that could go on for literal days worth of game time.. it was awsome. Hot Seat is so incredbly fun, man me and two of my friends had a 10 hour long game.. On-Topic: C&C and Age of Empires are my personal favourites, but I've heard that Warhammer 40K is supposed to be great aswell. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanMalak11 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Red Alert 2 = best rts ever. :D Mr Blasty33 - 116 Combat~ 99 Attack ~ 99 Magic ~ 99 HP ~ 94 Strength ~ 98 Range ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Empire Earth is ok but the second 1 is heaps better ARGH I hate empire earth! I knew someone would mention it here. The gaming engine sucks so much it takes twice the proccessor power it reccomends to run it. The graphics suck. Even the sounds drive me up the wall. And don't get me started about gameplay...

jgrazotis Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 well i dont really hav anything to compare it to coz i think ive played age of empires for about.......3 hours at a friends house the closest thing i hav to that would be warcraft 3 in empire earth i like starting in Prehistoric Age and working my way up to Space Age i hav a feeling that age of empires is way way way better, but i havnt played it, i just stuffed around with it at a friends place thanks to mitsubishi64 who made this sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
