Hostile Waters. Although it's hardly a generic RTS.

What do the RTS nutters think of all the iterations after TS? Any decent games made?

The sequel sucks.
That much? Why?Darth Roxor said:NO. Yuri's Revenge is Fallout 3 level retarded.
I second this. Dark Reign is worth a try, though nothing that'll blow your mind.Give Dark Reign a go, you won't be disappointed. I haven't played the sequel so I'm only referring to the original.
Nah, that's like saying 3D killed graphic adventure games: we all know that genre killed itself out of stagnation. If anything 3D can be viewed as an opportunity.fizzelopeguss said:3d killed the RTS star.
Ulminati said:Starcraft 2 is quite amusing. Dawn of War was good too. The winter assult campaign for DoW1 is quite fun and criminally short. Homeworld series is a must-play. Some of the total war games were quite good. Personally I preferred Shogun, but YMMV. Dawn of war 2 was ok, even if highly overrated. I was not a fan of the World of Warcraft wannabe item drops and boss battles.
"Console crowd" is an umbrella term for twitch-happy idiots who just like to see things exploding everywhere in a bloom-filled screen without any regard whatsoever for the actual mechanics and/or aesthetic approach of the game as long as it's got the shiniest graphics or the biggest hype.MetalCraze said:RTS games killed themselves through the lack of innovation. Console crowd has little to do with it - RTS are even less playable on consoles than shooters. Although EA did try to make that shitty Tiberium Wars fit in by slowing down everything to a turtle crawl so consoletards will have enough time to select units.

They all had something new and exciting
