If you had asked me years ago I would have voted both, but there hasn't been any interesting RTS games released lately :( When I need a strategy game I'll go play Civ IV, which is TBS (which I like more than FPS), and in the past year I've played more FPS than I usually do

RTSs for me, the depth of gameplay is so much greater and the results of modding are better mostly. Hellishly addictive.aliblabla2007
Well, after Blizzard created Starcraft / Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, it became clear to me that the RTS genre has much better of a grasp for storylines than the FPS genre will ever have.
Overall though, I'd choose FPS because I do nothing but play games online all the time.
FPS, closely followed by RTS and adventure tied for second. I can almost guarantee FPS will win this poll. I made a poll topic a while ago asking which genre was their favorite; FPS, strategy (TBS, RTS, etc.), RPG, other, or two or more genres equally? Out of those choices, FPS was leading by about 150% the second highest, which was about a tie between RPG and two or more. RTS was in fourth place, with other in fifth. So, yeah, FPS will probably soar ahead in this poll.
I have been getting quite into RTS recently but I have to admit I prefer FPS; the rush you get from hunting people down and killing them(quote fps_doug) is just really awesome and addictive. RTS is great, but I'm a tr00 fps boy...through and through.
I mostly play RPG's and MMORPG's so i voted for neighter , but I play some FPS's too like STALKER , Counter Strike 1.6 , FEAR , Crysys , Call of duty 2 & 4 , Hellgate London ( with the gunner it got FPS that's really great) , Painkiller Overdose and last but not least - No One Lives Forever 2
Depends on the kind of RTS, if its Dawn of War or Company of Heroes then ye I prefer RTS. If its Age of Empires or other wood collector RTSs then fps such as Call of duty

I found it when I was a noob, and didn't go on Gamespot or anything. It looked cool in the shop and I don't regret buying it.
