Bleh, I can't play RTS for "fun" anymore...

I need competition!!!! That's where my fun is!

My Warcraft 3 CD has been scratched for a while now, and I've tried to get into C&C3. I used to have a lot of fun with the game playing single player, but now I'm in this competitive craze, where if I'm not facing someone online - playing the game is pointless.

And I found out that C&C3 is impossible to play effectively. There is so much s*** going on at once it's impossible to control. You can litteraly get through the entire tech tree in under 3 mintues. Units build so fast that it seems I have a cheat code on, not to mention there are like 15 different types of units you can build per building. Everyone just masses tanks and rushes. There are so many balance issues the game is impossible to be good at without exploiting it, and yet instead of patching it, they decide to make an expansion!?

I can't find my starcraft discs either, and my CS team broke up as well. I need to beat someone in something!

This is more of a rant, but for all those other RTS players - do you actually just skirmish the computer and play campaign for fun? Or when you buy that RTS, you plan to go all out?

If you're looking for something new try CoH or Supreme Commander. trix5817

I have CoH. Not really my style, way to complicated for me =p. I guess Blizzard has just spoiled me.

You could try worldbuilder! Or just wait for SC2.

Just make sure you are only playing C&C3 on the PC NOT on the 360. There is a big difference.

Try Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War with the expansion Dark Crusade. Both got great ratings on GS and I love them. I don't really know much about the Warhammer 40k universe (since I have never gone into Games Workshop- the lair of all things ultra nerdy) but the game is very generous when explaining the story and general background of all the races.

Recently my friend got tired of WC3 and bought Dawn of War on Steam and we're having fun.

We usually do 2v2 skirmishes online against comps set on hard. It provides a lot of laughs because of the chaos that happens. You'd be surprised how formidable comps can be in that game.

Try the demo and see if you like it.

have to tried CoH?Ragashahs
