hi, i've been trying to get into rts games lately because im bored of just mainly playing css and a bit of LoL. I want an rts that is fun to play, but isnt too complex, because i find it boring once the game gets too in depth :P. I've played starcraft 2 which i quite enjoyed, i was looking at the lord of the rings, battle for middle earth 2 as i remember the first one being quite good (didnt really play it though). Just want some recommendations please, and dont say C&C3, because i played it and got bored too quick haha :). Thanks

I recommend CoH. It's got an awesome single player that I think will appeal to new comers to the genre, and once you get good online is really fun.

I hate to be so fanboyish, but Starcaft 2 just came out - and you're moving onto a new RTS? I doubt you've even explored 1/10th of what that game has to offer.

I've already played starcraft 2 on my friends trial he gave me, it was good, but when ever i went online i got completely pwned to the point where i couldnt be bothered anymore lol. Anyway, what do you guys think of battle for middle earth 2? Have you played it? Also i was thinking of trying dawn of war 2 but im not sure :S. Maybe rts games arent for me, but im just getting sick of playing css all the time! lol :P

Nobody is good there at RTS games their first, second, third, or fourth time playing. You've got to practice. You'll suck at every single RTS. Starcraft is one of the easier ones to get "good" at.

StarCraft II's campaign is great too. If you have friends you can always play against the AI till you get better. But also after your preliminary matches you will be in a league with people of similar skill and it will be more enjoyable.

Battle for Middle Earth 2 is good I recomend it. Dawn of War 1 and 2, 2 iscentred on developing units instead of amassing huge armies.Theyre both very differentand are both good games. Alot of friends of mine enjoy the Total War series as well, not my cup of tea personally.

Thanks guys, i tried the campaign of sc2 as well, it was impressive but the problem with me is i lose interest quickly, i need a game i can get into with lots of action. Your right about online, but i tend to want to build up a base and defend instead of attack, which might be why i was getting owned so bad, even when i was playing agaisnt AI at "easy" difficulty i was getting smashed lol :S. I might have a look at either lotr battle for middle earth 2 or dow 2, not sure yet..

I'll recommend Stronghold then. It's the only RTS where you're supposed to turtle and then attack once you've amassed in army. That strategy simply isn't viable in any RTS game (unless you're good at it).
