Vote for StarCraft StarCraft 1) StarCraft

I guess id have to put starcraft, but all rts’s are pretty much the same, so I don’t really care either way.

deadgrass27

By far the best RTS game made.
Set in the future with 3 Different Races, and it is the most popular RTS game in the competitive scene. The Pro-Leagues in Korea... just amazing!

The one downside people would say about SC is that the graphics aren’t too hot. But a true gamer knows that graphics don’t matter, it’s the content!

Uses battle. net, along with WC3. Amazing game server!
"A minute to learn, a lifetime to master"

And don’t forget... SC2 is coming out soon


Vote for Company of Heroes Company of Heroes 2) Company of Heroes

I great game that goes along with history. You can play as the germans, americans, and british

HistoryLover

I liked this game alot, It’s Allies vs Axis involving a lot of strategy. Fun game if you like WW2


Vote for WarCraft III WarCraft III 3) WarCraft III

Quality RTS Game. 3D Graphics and 4 Different races.
Uses Battle. net, an amazing game server!
One downside the 4 races may seem unbalanced.


Vote for Age of Empires III Age of Empires III 4) Age of Empires III

Yes, great graphics, and many different peoples you could choose from...

Raptork

Excellent graphics, an historical setting, and the same solid RTS gameplay as its predecessors have made this title a best-seller. Persistent home cities add another dimension to the strategy, and there is a good matchmaking service for finding online games.


Vote for WarHammer 40000 WarHammer 40000 5) WarHammer 40000

Based on a famous tabletop strategy series, Dawn of War is a curious combination of fantasy and science fiction, beautifully rendered in 3D. There is a solid mix of units and none of the playable races have been given an overwhelming advantage. Although very different from the tabletop version, it is a nicely polished game with an active community.


Vote for Command and Conquer 3 Command and Conquer 3 6) Command and Conquer 3

Yes! Simply Awesome.

asphaltpilot

Command an Conquer is a really good franchise. And It still great as Command And comquer 3 kicks ass.

ELTanko

Going back to its roots, Command & Conquer 3 revives the epic conflict between the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod. There’s a third side called the Scrin in the fray now, but you’ll remember the Mammoth tanks and ion cannons from earlier games in the series. C&C3 has a good selection of multiplayer maps and Battlecast functionality, which makes spectating games fairly easy.


Vote for Total Annihilation Total Annihilation 7) Total Annihilation

Futuristic RTS game. It was the first to feature 3D units and terrain, nice storyline.


Vote for Rise of Nations 8) Rise of Nations

Very much like Age of Empires.
Features 18 nations and 8 ages of world history.
More than 200 types of units,
Fun game ;)


Vote for Empire Earth Empire Earth 9) Empire Earth

Empire Earth is a real time strategy game from Sierra, which you build your civilizations not through ages but epochs. Select from 14 epochs in world history including the Bronze Age, the Renaissance, the Imperial Age, World War II and the Digital Age and establish an empire for the ages. Contained here are links for both Empire Earth and it’s expansions


Vote for Homeworld Homeworld 10) Homeworld

Very fun game. Takes places in space
