I still love this game, I played on battle.net last night after installing it today and it's still addictive. If you understand the game it's really fun.

Definitely one of the best PC games still, even the graphics are still pretty good.

Who agrees?

I didn't really get into it too much. I feel the game is too offensive based and the player who can get a hero leveled up the fastest has the advantage. I really didn't like the upkeep either and it was annoying losing resources when I would reach a certain number of units. I would have enjoyed it more if it was more balanced for people who like to play different styles.

Yeah, the hero plays an important role.

 

The upkeep can be annoying, but I usually stick to 50/90 or less and I I'll micromanige my army really well.

I think Company of Heroes is okay. It's definitely a pretty fun RTS. Never played SupCom though. I'm going to get the new C&C 3. Can't wait. I guess I still enjoy Starcraft the best. That game is such a classic.

I do, I think its one of the best RTS games ever made, and I have not played many games as balanced, well made and just plain fun and cool as it since SC and it's expansion.

I am playing Homeworld 2 now though, and it seems like a good contender for the "My favorite RTS" title. :P

I never got into it.

My three favorite RTS' are Age of Mythology, Battle for Middle-Earth II, and Supreme Commander.

Of honorable mention are CoH, AoEIII, and a few others.

I don't have C&C3 yet, sadly. :(

WCIII is last on my list though.  Too much rpg action for me.  I play rts for the strategy, not the rpg stuff.

I dunno, I am more into 4X strategy games like Civilization IV, Master of Orion and Galactic Empires II. RTS is fun and all but not enough diplomacy and such.

While I do believe that Warcraft had amazing lore, Blizzard MURDERED it all with over a thousand retcons for freaking WoW (Revisions on lore). My type of game is more like Civ 3.

Even though Spore is delayed. :( Cheer up. Empire Earth III will probably deliver some strategy goodness outside of the RTS box.

I never really got into EE.

I always hated how it took so long to build up an army, just to see them get slaughtered in seconds.  The units died so annoyingly fast.  But then, i never played it that much, so i probably just didn't know what i was doing. :P

But if warcraft 3 was on PS3, then the PS3 would be the superior version.

The game has a tutorial where you play as Orcs for like 2 levels.

That will get you on the right footing.

As for strategy itself, do what makes sense. ;)

Warcraft is still going strong, and I still play it from time to time.

But, Starcraft will always be it's older better brother.

Isn't Warcraft, like older than Starcraft? And also the first RTS to bring online competition to it's prime?

The Warcraft series is much older, but I thought we were talking about the 3rd installment. 

Starcraft as a game is their best RTS.  The only edge i would give WC3 is the hero addition which I love.  If they combine Starcraft with Hero's, there would be no doubt in my mind that it would be their best.

Well if you obtain it without paying, then yeah. But in all honesty, I took my friends illegal copy. Also, if you already bought thegame already, then downloading it should not be illegal, I think.

Personaly, I like the Starcraft lore more than the Warcraft lore. However, I do recognize that W3 was a better game, because they made a lot of strides in level design that was clever. I agree though, if they put in a hero sysrem into SC2 like they did for W3 and give it even better maps/levels then joy and happiness would encompass the world.

Definetely a great game. No RTS has ever surpassed Blizzard as far as I'm concerned...Age of Empires 2 was good, but IMO thats the only non-blizzard RTS worth mentioning. Also, the original warcraft was a rip off of Dune 2 I believe....So, that wasn't really a game of great accomplishment....However, Warcraft II & III and all the expansions have been amazing.....especially with respect to map editing. OH damn, I forgot ot mention that starcraft is ausome. I can see why a lot of people like starcraft more than WarIII, because a lot changed in that crossover. However, I think that starcraft II (I seriously doubt this game will never be created) will unite warcraft and starcraft fans alike. So, in short, I agree.

Also, I'm pretty good at DOTA. Props to Dota.

I prefer Sudden Strike. Plus, it will actually still run on my computer, whereas Warcraft 3 won't since my video card exploded.

Yeah, its not. I'm sure bittorent will help you in the downloading then, since you already had a copy.

We've got Beyond the Sword to look forward too. :) The late-game is kinda sparse right now.
