So as many of you must know, Direct2Drive's sale is coming to an end and I'm wondering which RTS I should buy between Supreme Commander (gold), World in Conflict (gold) and Company of Heroes (gold).

They're all 5 dollars for anyone unfamiliar with the current D2D sale.

Company of Heroes, followed by Supreme Commander, and World in Conflict just barely coming in third. Can't go wrong with any of them though. I'd go with whichever one is the most expensive everywhere else.

Haven't played SC nor WiC, but I have played CoH and thought it was really good. I vote for that.

Tough choices, I may end up buying two of them. Anyone liked Supreme Commander ? Are the big scale battles really fun ?

Company of Heroes has a very active online community. Supreme Commander is Ok but it takes forever to build a decent force.

I got supreme commander from the sale and haven't played it too much, but what I have played has been pretty fun. Company of Heroes is a very fun game, and I haven't played WiC so I don't know. I recommend Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes all the way. I also love World in Conflict. I never got into supreme commander, i didn't really like it much. CoH is the best RTS I've ever played.

Supreme Commander is such an epic RTS, I don't know if you can really compare it to the others. If you like robot-on-robot battle extraordinaires, get Supreme Commander. It's so fun, and its scale is unmatched.

Mmh I guess all these games are great hehe, maybe SupCom and CoH then, WiC seems like a very multiplayer focused game and I don't have a lot of time to master any multiplayer right now (Between playing Aion, WoW and the 25+ games I haven't beaten yet :D )

I'd go with World in Conflict, hands down. Amazing MP and a very good SP.

Supreme Commander IMO is one of the very best RTS games you will find anywhere. The SP campaign is OK but can be difficult at times. Where SupCom really shines is with it's on-line play. Ranked matches are fast and deadly so it's a must to know how to manage your economy to build and maintain your forces while at the same time being very aggressive against your opponent by controlling the map. Anyone who says this game is slow is not playing it correctly. The learning curve can be a little difficult in the beginning which can lead to some serious beatings in the first few on-line matches...but once a person gets the basics down on how to maintain a solid economy while building one's forces it then turns into a great game...Lots of strategy....and yes, you will encounter many large scale battles, many occur on the larger size maps were up to 8 players can fight against each other or as teams ...2v2, 3v3, 4v4. It has a good community where you 'll find plenty of on-line games for ranked play or custom matches or if you just want to play skirmish against the AI which is pretty decent on the higher difficulties. You need both versions (Supreme Commander and Forged alliance) to be able to play all four factions on-line. They all have land, air and navel units and each faction plays off different strengths and weakness....it's great stuff !

I own all three of those games and I like supreme commander the most. It's more complex and massive in scale. However, it does crash sometimes on Vista. World in Conflict's online is almost dead, probably due to the repetitiveness, which is disappointing. WiC has a pretty good singleplayer though. Company of Heroes was good but I would have liked to see a more modern setting.

I think WiC its better and more fun.

I played and the three of them but WiC is more fun and realistic.
