    Total Annihilation owned my pants for a year or so, I still remember with fondness my 5 and a half hour game with my brother, where we just COULDNT beat each other.

    Every corner of the map was protected from nukes, anything that ventured near the centre of the map was wiped out, we eventually agreed on a draw cos one of us had to leave....but wow, what a game smile.gif

    oh guees what were considered to be in the best clan in armada.( *WP* )
    and we just beat the 2 leaders in a 2v2(about 20 minutes ago) its safe to say that we are in the top 5 in the world so u dnc counterstrike heads wont be a problem

    u may call us a bit confident but when u open the armada door its not our fault our heads wont fit in smile.gif

    Starcraft rules. I only got it a few days ago, but it sure does rock.
    If there's one thing I hate, it's people.

    hmmm, multiplayer? Strategic? Tactical?

    Shogun Total war?

    each player takes a colour, top player goes into final, second best (and maybe third depending on numbers) play off against each other to fill up any empty slots.

    StarCraft and C&C 1 are still my favorite(2D) RTS's. They are both superbly balanced- subsequent incarnations of C&C have favored either one side or the other. RA is hugely stacked towards the Allies- assuming equal skill, the Soviets will almost always lose. Gap Generators, the Chrono-Cruiser combo and the solid defense of the Allies is usually no match for the Soviets(at least in ranked leagues). For a friendly game though- it's still a helluva lot of fun. As is AOEII.

    StarCraft is still the most widely played RTS out there- 3 superbly balanced races makes it a fascinating multiplayer game.

    If you're just playing for fun, pretty much any mainstream RTS works well- Shogun is amazing on multiplayer- laggy, but if it's for fun, unbelievable in its scope smile.gif

    Regarding AOEII, a class game but with one very annoying feature. When playing against the AI, it has a tendancy to surrender very early in the game. This is bloody annoying when you have spent ages building up your forces, then on the brink of unleashing them the enemy surrenders!
    A nice touch with RA2 is the ability to fortify urban areas with ordinary foot sloggers.

    I love shogun single player, but multiplayer is a no-no tbh.
