So I've decided that it's time for me to buy a good RTS to complete my current game addiction. I'm leaning towards Starcraft or WarCraft 3, WC3 because of the HoN and DotA game modes that provide variety, but Starcraft because last time I played it I was probably 10 and I don't remember the story line at all. So I have 2 questions:

1. How accessible are the online modes in those 2 games? Is it hard to win because everyone else is so good?

2. Are there any RTS's I'm missing?

In reply to question 2: Everything else under the RTS sun :). C&C (up until 3) franchise and Dawn of War 1 Franchise are good 'classic' RTS game series, for non classic there is DoW 2 and Company of Heroes. SupCom is a pretty good RTS too (with more of a 'mega' feel to it).

Company of Heroes and Dawn of War 2 are more modern RTS games. I would buy those instead along with the expansions.

You can also try out World in Conflict, it has a fantastic single player and multiplayer. The gameplay itself is very accessible to newcomers of RTS games.

Yes, it has very good multiplayer. Their are about 7000-10000 on the game daily, so you shouldn't have any problem finding a game.
