Not only the best RTS experience, but the best Battle.net experience as well.
User Rating: 9.8 | WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos PC
Warcraft 3 is amazing in all aspects, but mainly battle.net. User-created games and maps extend the life of this game possibly infinitely until the next warcraft comes out. Games such as mauls, Tower defenses, footman wars, if you've ever played them you know what I'm talking about. This game has one of the best online communities I've ever seen, and their support shows since their dedicated enough to spend time on a new map or game. The RTS component is also the best in the business, and the biggest surprise, is that the Heroes increase the startegy amazingly, creating new manuevers such as harassing and rushing, adding the extra spice the franchise needed. Although the graphics were amazing for its time, the speedy progress of computers have made them look not so special, but they're still great enough to not effect gameplay at all. Any RTS fan with a computer and an internet connection should have this game.
