I dont know there are many more enjoyable rts games to play as well. There is halo wars for a start wlthough not sure it is playable on pc, should imagine it is.

C&C franchise-There is also one of the most enjoyable rts franchises with so many to try and it's also the high def video story's that make command and conquer worth playing, especially seeing the beautiful lady's either as evil or good guys which is the added bonus in the C&C franchise..

Tom Clancy Endwars, only one was made and what a shame Ubisoft had a gem and I loved the game. Endwars had voice communication, as well as controller for units which was very responsive but the gameplay is where the game excelled. With rock scissors paper like combat and the ability to take your units and retreat before they got completely obliterated in perks death, made you think about the battle, after all you didn't want to take a high level unit and keep fighting when there was no hope or someone dropped a nuke on your units. Also Endwars factions really set themselves apart, Endwars was ace from start to finish..

Lord of the rings- battle for middle earth (if not mistaken) similar to halo wars style where your base has points that you convert into buildings rather than just putting buildings where you want like C&C. Those hobbits are little pests on that game and very dangerous. The game itself is lovely looking.

Star trek armada 1&2- well what can I say this rts was wonderful with so many ships and lots of factions and plenty to do but the Borg says it all and it's a shocker when you see there big holocube and how much screen space one of them takes up lol. Because the game is in space which is mostly black this game seems to handle maxed out jnits better than other rts games.

Universe at war- this was a real surprise for me, the game was crazy and a really good game as well as challenging, I forgot who the developers were but they did a splendid job I thought..

Supreme commander- this was the daddy for owning the most units I thought, the maps were big and you were pretty much free to put units where you wanted, freedom and max unit size were this games pro And was worth playing this game just to see how it the wars could get.

Hooligans- a very old rts game and exactly what your thinking it's football and was one hell of a crazy game and everyone should give it ago just once even if you do it just to see the cheat active on the handgun units. Pull about a hundred out at a time and have them all use there special power which there saying was (shoot the bastards) now imagine that being said 100 times on a crappy pc which they were back 14 years ago around and the lag that was produced, I will just say that it was one experience and half and joke when you do it in a room full of people who are trying to learn and that starts happening.

There are many more but off the top of my head can not think.

It is however a real shame that at one point this genre was everywhere and now it's dwindled and it's rare you get to see an entry in this genre.

Let's not forget Warhammer 40k Dawn of War!

But yeah, everything you listed is great also.

Wiehahn2537d ago

Yeah, these are all great titles (the ones I know)! C&C was a big-time favourite back in the day, especially Red Alert 2. Have you played Empire Earth? Also damn good game.

And then, I've always loved the Impressions Games series of RTS title (Pharaoh, Caesar, Zeus, Emperor). Bit more of a citybuilder though, but damn I poured half my life into those games lol.

zerocarnage2540d ago (Edited 2540d ago )

Starwars empire at war- Also there was a star wars rts, I loved it but at the time my pc couldn't run it. I thought the game was ace though.

Wiehahn2537d ago

I actually played that a while back! It's a bit outdated now lol, but still a fine RTS. And who doesn't love Star Wars!

Shubhendu_Singh2540d ago

I am literally playing Age of Mythology these days. Having stupid amount of fun again.
Plan to finish expansion and move to WC3 > SC2 again.

Also, 7 click/pages for 7 games ? I hate this site.

Wiehahn2537d ago

I've recently got back into Age of Empire 2, playing the HD edition with loads of mads and all DLC. Still one of the most brilliantly designed RTS title I've played

'StarCraft: Remastered', 'StarCraft II' Now Available on PC Game Pass

This week, Blizzard Entertainment dropped both 'StarCraft: Remastered' and 'StarCraft II Campaign Collection' into PC Game Pass.

meganick167d ago

Hopefully these get released on Switch and Playstation, along with Age of Empires. There’s a severe lack of good RTS games on both those platforms.

waytoobad166d ago

if only they didn't raise the price 500% last year.

Let the COD on GamePass experiment begin!
I would think their quarterly revenue will take a hit compared to a year ago, but will maybe make up for it throughout the year as the monthly GP subs keep coming in

pwnmaster3000191d ago

Was up with call of duty man?
I downloaded cod on gamepass and for some reason I cannot access the game.

darthv72191d ago

just curious what version? There are some that you can pre-load, but they wont work until their release date later this month.

pwnmaster3000191d ago

I have to redownload it again for the 3rd time to check.
I ended up just deleting it to make room for other games after the second time.

It was on Xbox game pass, I didn’t know there was other versions. I just downloaded everything, but sadly I couldn’t even access the game. Maybe 3rd time the charm. I’ll download it again.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH191d ago

It’s not out yet man unless you’re talking about MW3.

pwnmaster3000191d ago

I’m talking about mw3. For some reason I could not get it to work.

just_looken191d ago

On xbox there is the last gen/current gen versions pc though you could also get a xbox version.

When that new forza first came out for one day they had the xbox version on the pc store i was like ? what it was odd.

On xbox you can easily download the one version of a game instead of the series version so you run into issues on your series console.

pwnmaster3000190d ago

Because a game won’t run after I download it??
Man your kids must hate your @ss if that’s how you think.

It's going to be very interesting to follow up on how the new entry of CoD will perform at the box office, player numbers and distribution of Xbox, PC and PS versions this year.

DivineHand125191d ago

I got excited thinking they ported StarCraft to consoles but it's just the PC version. Also, I thought Starcraft 2 was already free to play.

TheColbertinator191d ago

I'm certain it is going to be the Campaign Collection version.
