I have not played a good RTS in a while and I was hoping to get some help

 

A few I have and like: Starcraft, Warcraft, SoaSE, Supreme Commander, Homeworld, COmpany of Heroes(plus opposing fronts)

I have DoW 2 but I hate it in terms of an rts

 

Any suggestions?

Tried DoW 1?  Completely different game to DoW 2 really, don't let it put you off, I hated it also.  If you haven't then the gold version of the game can be picked up for silly money and is worth a purchase.

to me this is an action/rpg game, not an rts, at least not the type im looking for

Did you try Supreme Commander: Forged alliance?

Definitely the C&C series. You also might want to consider World in Conflict, it's more of a tactical focus but it's still amazing.

I highly recommend buying the first two Age of Empire games. Especially now since it's extremely cheap with both expansions. Lasted me about eight years and still playing.

There's also a couple console RTS games worth looking at. Herzog Zwei is fantastic with two players, while Dune is a good single-player RTS. Both are for the Sega Genesis. And the SNES has Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, which is probably the best overall game for that system. RPG and RTS fun.

I'm with Haree. I'm still somewhat baffled by the fact that they're calling DoW2 "Dawn of War 2" at all. It really has nothing in common with Dawn of War except the setting.

I heartly recommend Dawn of War with all the expansions. I know a lot of people didn't like Soulstorm, but I'm a fan. Dark Eldar are by far my favourite race. Dais of Destruction for the win.

I second World in Conflict. Very well done game. There is no resource management or base building so if you like that you may be disappointed in it but it's a great game.

Warhammer(s)... but, if you're in for some nostalgia and a precursor of all RTS games that soon or ever followed; Total Annihilation. See you in six months, though.

Im going to have to repeat what was said before, with DoW1, and World in Conflict being good choices to get ahold of a great game. 

DoW1 was a real RTS, multiple buildings, tons of units out at once, no crazy hero crap, and if you get gold+Dark Crusade you have 7 races to choose from in a great game, add soulstorm and you have 9 races to chose from in an ok game.

World in Conflict is an rts, thats both well made, and that a campaign thats written and acted in better than a few movies that came out recently.

 

Now to add something new, Rise of Nations+Thrones and Patriots, great RTS and very fun to play, has tons of civilizations to choose from as you lead them from the stone age to the future.

and now I think im going to list all recomendable RTS i know of

Rise of Legends - Fantasy version of Rise of Nations, but slightly more restrictive in where you can build capitals to force confict. Great game with three distinct factions, and steampunk mech's for the humans.

Black and White 2- lacks multiplayer is the only thing I can say against Lionhead's game. The creature system is fun to teach and train, and the citizens are decently capable of handling their own economy. It also gives options other than war, such as impressing others into joining you. The god powers are also alot of fun, nothings more hysterical than lobbing a fireball at an attacking force.

Homeworld 2 - Ive never played Homeworld 1, but Homeworld 2 is a fun game with the same unique system as last game. And with its diverse ammount of units and counter units is fun to play.

Star Wars Empire at War - if you like RTS, and you like SW, then this game should belong yo you. It has all the great units from the movie, plus some from the expanded universe. you fight the battles on both land and space, and should you go imperial have the option to devistate planets with a Death Star.

Total War Series - TBS'ish overworld map + realtime battles makes this series exelent, and with a diverse ammount of games to chose from there should be a setting for everyone. (i dont recomend Empire, its a bit odd, though my opinion may change eventually)

Star Trek Armada - Great game, impossible to get ahold of but still needs fo be mentioned. has 4 races from Star Trek battling it out. those races are the Federation, Klingons, Romulans and the Borg. All of their iconic ships from the Next Generations Era are available.

Anyone one know anything about P.U.R.E on impulse?  Looks like it could be good, but I'm not really willing to spend $30 to find out :/

on Jun 11, 2009

looking at men of war it seems to be a bit too tactical for some, maybe ill try it

 

god there are so many choices ha

i have soulstorm, i always wanted to get star wars and rise of nations/legends

i tried black and white 2 and was interested

 

i guess the real problem is picking one

 

 

awesome, men of war has a demo on steam and it's only $30 for whole thing, ill grab world in conflict demo also

Soulstorm suck tbh. The races were pointless and the Dark Eldar hover things sounded like Howard Dean when they jumped
