Which has been your favorite RTS of the past few years? ***POLL***

Ok, RTS fans, have at it.

If you were to pick a RTS game (and can include expansions) from this list that you most enjoy playing (or have played), which would it be?

Because, quite frankly, I don't have any of these, but I want the cream of the crop.

I'm glad to see that CoH is in the lead so far, though not many votes are in.  Are we in agreement that the past 3 years have shown a real resurgence in the RTS domain?  It seemed as though things were getting a bit stale until studios like Relic and Creative Assembly raised the bar.xenophone

Like I said, i don't have any of these yet, but all indications from various reviews seem to point to a major resurgence in great RTS games these past few years.

dawn of war, easily - i've been playing it religiously for the last 2 years, every other game on that list went back in the box (except c&c3, i just deleted the demo because there's no way i'm buying that!) - but dawn of war...

dawn of war is perfection... company of heroes is a better game, it's practically dow2, only in a different setting - but if you like warhammer 40k, or you don't like ww2, then dow is the better choice - because coh didn't do a whole ton of refining all in all

about rome, though, (or my preference, medieval 2) - they aren't really rivals to the traditional rts games like c&c and coh, they're more companion games - so it's hard to either/or with them... if anything, it would be best to get a total war game and a traditional rts game as well - i play dow and medieval 2, and they are perfect partners

Well put.  If you are looking for the best RTS game to play, I would choose one of the Total War games, probably the newest as long as you can run it, and one of the more straight up RTS's, preferably DoW or CoH.  I assume you already played WC3? 

If I could choose 2 games,I will go for COH and Dawn Of War..

Supreme Commander, but that could be because it is new.linkthewindow

I played Starcraft to death but never played WC3, I was going to bypass it. Is it better than the games on my list? Is the experience different enough from Starcraft/Brood War to still be worth getting?

:/ Where's Medieval?-Karayan-

Thought about placing it there, I gave the nod to Rome instead.

Everything being equal, I already have the original Medieval: Total War, so I figured I'd go with the new setting in the Poll.

wheres AOE?? but anyway out of those COH :)gamerchris810

Age of Empires 2 was probably the best of that series, but its too old for this Poll. Besides I played it.

any more voters out there?

I'm leaning towards Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40k: DoW

How's C&C3 stacking up?

It felt like Red Alert 2 to me... of course way improved on.

Therefore I love it. The demo rocked me.

EDIT: HOW COULD I FORGET?  My vote goes to Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots (the new one sucks!), WC3, and by the demo of C&C3 i guess that too.

You left out so many games.. namely games in the 'Age Of' series.Rattlesnake_8

The only one that would've qualified would have been AoE 3, but I'm sure most would agree that those I listed are better games.

Remember....we only have 5 choices.

I'd have to go with Company of Heroes all the way!

It's got great gameplay, and I haven't played a round online yet that I didn't find myself on the edge of my seat. :D

My second choice, although not on the poll, would have to be Medieval 2: Total War.

I chose SupCom... I don't have C&C3 yet (will still take a few days before I have it) ...

If Medieval 2 Total War was on list I would have picked it instead (Rome was good as well though:)). Company of Heroes is rather good as well... but it didn't get me a hooked as the original C&C's did...
