Best RTS of all time?

yeah, some ppl seem to overlook story and atmosphere in games now days and overemphasize action, action, action or something. in my opinion, story, charachers, and atmosphere are the 3 most important elements of a good game bar the actual gameplay.

a game should play like a movie or book that you control.

whatever, I played the living shit out of some starcraft. I really enjoy C&C generals though.

OMG.....Please tell me you are joking.....I wish I could let you all in on my Command And Conquer collection and you can see how much Command And Conquer kills starcraft. Guys...You make me cry at the fact that you prefer star craft over command and conquer....It hurts me bad. Come on guys, try something new other than grand ma's star craft game. I will personally buy Star Craft: Ghost for X-box but thats all I'll ever play. The first day I got StarCraft I GOT SO BORED WITH IT.......It takes too freakin long to build anything in that game and when you win a battle you think to yourself what a f***ing waste of time.

Well, im going to cry somemore over Command & Conquer and kill some Allied Armies to make me feel better while you take your ugly ass alien zerglings and marines to get bitch slapped countless times by the protoss. (Protoss I must agree are a cool race though....Shields, energy swords, psychic abilities, and advance technology. Whats not to like?)

Any one want to join me in Red Alert 2, my names are Laser8541 and Lasertob. Put me in your buddy list and we will play. Thx and as for you StarCraft gamers....Please try Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 and I promise you will so kick yourself for loving Star Craft.

I dont hate anyone so please dont quote me with something bad.

Peace.....

I liked Starcraft more. Better online play IMO. Easier to set up at least. Also, I just increase game speed for faster gameplay.

^agreed. I played every C&C game, and they weren't worth a damn until generals IMO. Red alert was decent I guess.

That sounds more like an RPG than a RTS. Yes, story characters and atmosphere are of paramount importance in RPGs, I believe the mechanics of the game become the most important factor when judging a RTS.

like i said, bar the actual gameplay.

but if you look at blizzard RTS games, they do it perfectly, blending great gameplay with a great story, wonderful atmosphere, and good character development.
