[NoSurrender]

[ObnoxiousFrog]

-Starcraft
-Total Annihilation
-Homeworld

Total Annihilation is win, especially Pee Wee rushing.

[Dharkbayne]

Medieval Total War.

[Bighoss]

Starcraft
Empire Earth
Age of empires

[EarlyDawn]

Generals, Metal Fatigue, Alpha Centauri.

Gameplay, Originality, and Gameplay, in that order.

Runners up would probably be the Homeworld series (Tied, TBH because the story was awesome), and TA.

[Everay]

Early, Bio, you both bring up very good games.

Total Annihilation was a very good RTS, and would be impossible to balance if each side didnt have the same units but in different configurations, though in Core Contengancy that was tipped because the huge mech the Core side gets, though the Arm side did get the Warrior, which was a very good grunt, fires like 2 PeeWees, and also shoots artillery.

Then Metal Fatuige, my god, that was a VERY good RTS, its story was that of a RPG, and the voice actors made it belivable too, Stefan of all the brothers, was IMO the coolest. (he was the milargo kid FYI) and i also enjoyed the differences of the Combots, how Milargo was so brute, and Neropa Limt. was very stealth and assasin like. i keep on telling people about this game, noone goes out and buys it, but it is by far one of the best RTS ive ever played, and in my opinion, if not the story, then the Combot system was the best part of this game, each variation made the combot fight differently, and in hand to hand, totaly changed everything up, like the actions the mechs took changed apon each others parts, i really enjoyed watching two mechs fight hand to hand, block, parry, attack, it was great.

and Alpha Centuri, i fuckin owned at that game, nuff said, too bad the story line in its single player was so small.

i've only ever played c&c:ra series

[Everay]

Red alert was exelent, very good acting, fun maps, though, somewhat annoying, oh, i remember this one, playing as ruskies, where i had to cross a river, take a island, and also blow the shit out of the enemy, and was that a hard map, taking that island was damned near impossible, even when i zerged em 10 to one.
