Best RTS games for the PC

Hey guys/gals,

I have been trying to get my hands on a kick-a$$ RTS games for the PC for some time but most I play are meh! Any suggestions???

OH, I love all the Age of Empires but i've played em' to the death. I did not like the Medievil Total war titles (including Rome YAWN!) and i'm no fan of warcraft, that'll make it a bit harder. OH, i already have command and conquer, its aight but nothing that keeps me glued.

Thanks in advance

I JUST looked it up on EB Games and check this. I went there last week to get it, although I called it warhammer not dawn of war cause I guess i'm an idiot. NEVERTHELESS, I asked the guy how many there were in the series and he said 3 or something but then mentioned they are not very good, which surprised me cause everyone said get that. Like a tool i asked what he thought was good andhe told me command and conquer. What a dork!

Thanks again!

its alright, although if you just called it 'warhammer' , ok yes its based on the table top game but another rts game also based on the warhammer fantasy is 'mark of chaos' which is utter sh1te, maybe he thought you meant that one,

Of course you have missed one of the most classic series, that is Command and Conquer.
Going for OVER 10 years!!!!!

of course command and conquer, sorry CB, another really good game, however i like the amount of detail that is in the dawn of war series, from the texture of the land and the men, to the finishing moves the way they are styled, C+C seems a bit too tame to me

Sorry CurlyBen but if you re-read the postthan I do beleive I mention Command and conquer, instead of warhammer (S**T), DAWN OF WAR I got the 12 command and conquer games (it was a bundle

).. Likei said,its aight but I want skirmishes (sp?) I don't like campaigns, i wanna start with nothing and build armies, Age of Empires was andstill is myfavorite, anything like that and ihave no worries

Albear, which one are you comparing with DoW as C&C 3 kicks bottom on the graphics side and the game play rocks.

BMI, C&C has a massive skirmish part to it and a huge fan base creating maps for it.
