Which RTS?

dearg_doom

I'm in an RTS kinda mood today... haven't played one in a while

I'm using a laptop: 1.7G P-M/512/ATi 9700

so which should I go for:

Red-Alert2

or

Rome: Total War

cheers:)

Red alert 2 is good for a quick game. Total war is good if you have more time on your hands

BlitzKrieg

What kind of rts do you want? one which is fast and explosive...or one that rewards clever tactics on many many many levels (political economic and battlefield)...


F+E = RA 2

tactics = R:TW

Tusky

Get both, both are fantastic games.

dearg_doom

I'm going for RA2!!

cheers

F+E?

oh and im 50/50 on those two games... theyre in 2 different rts categories methinks. I would have gone for ra2 if i hadnt played it to death

BlitzKrieg

fast and explosive

evad_lhorg

yea id go with red alert 2 as well! one of my favourite games. it's only 6.99 on sold out range too! bargain.

Red alert 2 was great and all but why not Generals. I thought that was great.

For a fast frantic game, go for Dawn of War, twice the game geenrals ever was IMO, and for a good thinkers RTS, cant beat Rome:TW. Best 2 RTS's iin a long while imo.

picked up RA2 last night, it's quality alright, also saw
MedievalTW for cheap but had to resist temptation(rent/food etc... :rolleyes:)

what's dawn of war like? it's not some witches 'n' warlocks 'n'elves affair is it?

jonnybadd

No, more characters from warhammer 4000(?). As the question mark would suggest i know almost nothing about warhammer yet immensly enjoy dawn of war. Well worth the money if you have it

Dawn of War is set in the futuristic world of Warhammer 40,000, its homepage can be found here, its a very fast paced RTS, which is mainly infantry based but vehicles play a major role too.
