Best Strategy game

Mark

Come on speak up.What and why.Mine is Starcraft(sorry C+C) because it's so much fun although the zerg usually win cause of their vast vast numbers(2 vast's not a typo!).

What would chairs look like if your knees were backwards?

Pugsley

Star craft would b 1 of mine...altho ive never played it on-line and its sposed 2 rule.
Its either SC or C&C RA2.But in SC the protos usually won (even tho i havent played it in ages)and the humans (whatever they were called)always seemed 2 get wiped out at the start
I dunno why but i never liked the zerg,u always lose half ure army no matter how many men u send .....still an uber 1337 game

BlitzKrieg

YEah well to be different i'll say my fav strat is Ground Control.... I'm sick of tank rushes winning over me. And Ground Control gets rid of Tank rush and gives u a more sophisicated control over your units. Gotta try it online sometime.

I would have said Shogun: Total war until recently playing Z: Steel soldiers. Two excellent games. If its fast pace your looking for, go with Z though.

Life sucks, but does it swallow?

MrTimewalk

Starcraft

HOWEVER

I'm mightly impressed with SUDDEN STRIKE, NOT as a single player, it's crap but it's the best RTS multiplayer I've seen since Starcraft. It's very very clever, I recommend it to anyone

Jimi-Spandex

Civ 2, by far best strategy game ever

Shogun: Total War is the best RTS game i have played and it has alot of turn based strategy to keep me happy the good thing is you need to be good at both to become very sucessful that game is the best strategy game released since Civ2 I mean i play RA2 and think its loads of fun and it does rock, but Shogun is simly better, deeper and more varied

Da Bounca

gotta be starcraft.

i remeber playing against MrTimewalk there ages ago

thought you had dissapeared!

StarCraft by the cosmic mile- I'm posting from the USN at the moment- and the tournament RTS here is still StarCraft. And although Protoss is my favorite race(Templars being too tempting)- I find that at the highest level, it's the most balanced RTS ever made- after the BWrs patch especially. Fantastic Tech Tree too.

C&C was great as well, though after the Tiberium Dawn, they never found balanced sides again. Total Annhilation was also top-notch : and many liked Dark Colony.

dont open ... that door- resident evil 1

Belisarius

I cant believe nobody mentioned Homeworld???
It is Far and away my Favourite Real Time strategy ever...And it has the thrice the sophistication of any Tank rushing pieces o crap that get thrown out theese days.Honestly , some people .

Total War would be up there for Tactical finesse and Ground COntrol for being Purty *Though maybe the Air element could have been better and its a total though the bad guys are a total NOD ripoff my only gripe*

as for the Old Favourites I never really *loved* Starcraft ..But RA*1* owned my body and soul , Not to mention Dark Reign , THE most underrated RTS ever ,well not counting Dark Reign2 which was neglected to an even greater extent

Sorry, all of Westwood is out for me. They just keep producing the same game with a few extra frames of animation - I just finished Dune Emperor, 8 years after playing the first one, and there were basically 3 new units, and 2/3 modified ones. Still the same old awful AI that can't work out it should shoot back, or help out squadmates etc.

Anyway, Total Annihilation. No game has come close, especially when you count in all the unit/AI/map addons available for it.

azezil

hmmm love AOE ROR, C&C Retaliation and Civ 1/2 ... a well can't decide!

It may be old but I gotta go with starcraft to. But none of you mentioned Commandos or star trek away team there pretty good games and commandos 2 looks excellent with 3 new characters the Russian spy from the add-on the thief and Whiskey the team mascot hes a dog by the way.

FunkyChicken

Starcraft for definite .
But zerg dont always win a half decent terran player should rip apart toss or zerg...

Da_cOmRaDe_MiKe

FINAL FANTASTY is a role-playing game not a strategy game so it doesnt count if this was best rpg it would win hands down in my opinon but sorry scrap

Pepe LeFrits

Civilization 2.

I liked warcraft, cos you could train like 50 men and then attack the enemy and beat the ****e of them, and that looked cool. although I only ever had the demo, and am too cheap to buy any games. Last full-strategy game I played was powermonger on the amiga.

When I was young, I dreamed of being a Fireman. Then I learned that they put out the fires.

orangerooster

i alway found civ games to long winded to have much appeal but after about a week they come into there own as the best turn based strata*** games going

Actually, there was a RTS game called final fantasy tactics, but I don't think it was released over here. No excuse for spam though.

If there's one thing I hate, it's people.

Kensai

Imperialism.

FunkyChicken

yeah Mike ill play yeh

_CreeD_

Powermonger was great, way ahead of it's time - Had so many features that were just rehashed for B&W.

WhiteWashMan

power monger was great on the amiga.
i loved laser sqquad as a turn based game, but my fav rts is still AOK.

Telgere

sc always been a favourite of mine even after a few years i enjoy the odd game without having to cringe at the graphics

Volvagia

Gotta be the C&C series especially RA2 and AOE2!!!!!!!!
