- Empire Earth I + all Expansion content

I might be acting on nostalgia, but this was my first RTS, and I then got into Age of Mythology, which I also really liked.

I think its a great game, with a good amount of fun campaign content, even more with the expansion (I think there's just one). Also, I wouldn't recommend the second sequel, but there is a third I have not tried yet (I should probably get around to doing that, considering I bought it a year or two ago).

EDIT: Forgot to mention its pretty old, I think a bit older than Age of Mythology, but I know it works on XP, Vista, and 7, if you add compatability settings for XP.

Empire Earth I & II...

Horray for Empire Earth I !

Starcraft + Brood War

Europa Universalis!

For the same reasons. Although invading China whilst simulataneously besieging the capital of Baluchistan and putting down a revolt in Delhi sometimes feels like it's going faster than you can cope with at once.

I second EU, specifically EU3 with the expansions.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am currently trying Sins of a Solar Empire. I am expecting to be trying out Rise of Legends. I might pick up Halo Wars soon also.

SOASE is an awesome game. I only played Halo Wars on 360 and it was pretty bad. Graphics left me pretty underwhelmed and the controls svcked - but again, I was on the 360.

Starcraft 2.

The only good Xbox 360 RTS I've played was Battle for middle earth 2. And that was really good.

Luckily I don't touch the thing anymore. On the rare occasion I play a game (by myself), it's the PC for me.

The only reason I got the 360 was, like many people, for Halo 3.

Not a bad reason! Halo 3 was a sick game. Reach was pretty good, too. Halo Wars, though, that game didn't belong on the 360.

It was decent for a console RTS and I can't truly bring myself to state too many flaws in it since it was the last game Ensemble Studios made.

C&C Generals will also have a new release soon graphics look amazing.

That's because Halo Wars was only for the 360. I miss Ensemble.

Halo Wars was pretty poor. There was insufficient map variety, poor unit variety and little economy management.

Command & Conquer.
You can't beat it in terms of RTS.

I heartily recommend this. My favorites (in descending order) are Zero Hour, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert II, C&C 3, and the others are still fun.

Europa Unversalis II and III
Hearts of Iron 2 (especially Darkest Hour)

Victoria 2 is nice and all but doesn't compare with Victoria: Revolutions.

I didn't like Sins all that much, but maybe that's because I played Homeworld beforehand. The actual RTS side just pales in comparison.

Supreme Commander.

I like it because it has big robots blowing other big robots up.

This. Also worth it to try Total Annihilation, its spiritual predecessor. Best dollar I ever spent.

Warcraft II is by far my favorite RTS. No lie, you need to own that game.

» Sun May 13, 2012 9:55 pm

Dawn of war 2, dawn of war 2 chaos rising, and dawn of war 2 retribution, they are the best rts!

So did i, but i love Sins :lmao:

Sins combines elements of RTS and 4x strategy, so that combination may not work for everyone.

Speaking of, does Rebellion have a release date yet?

» Sun May 13, 2012 9:09 pm

Depends on what you want on it. A good singleplayer experience? Dawn of War, Homeworld, every Command and Conquer game that isn't Red Alert 3 or C&C 4, and supreme commander.

If you want competitive multiplayer, there's really nothing modern that comes anywhere near Starcraft 2.

World in conflict is a good RTS if you're looking for something different from the usual RTS formula.
