It's going to be a damn good year. I am most looking forward to COH: Opposing Fronts. COH deserves a lot more credit than it gets, it has constant combat and makes you fight over points instead of sitting in your base and forcing a rush or making an all powerful unit. The graphics are abosuletly gorgeous and the game play is wonderful. The multiplayer is just as good. Seriously, if you haven't bought it, do so now.

World in Conflict just looks awesome, both in graphics and in gameplay. And how could you forget MTW2? This new expansion should be a whole lot of fun.

But may I ask, where is Starcraft 2 and DOW 2? Dawn of War using the COH engine would be just sick, let me tell you.

So, what games are you looking forward to and why.

CNC3 is out as well... Yeah I'll say it's a good year for RTS.

Are you kidding? The last great RTS was Yuri's revenge. The old, honest to goodness RTS games are now gone forever.

All we have now are the stupid ones with the "rock, paper, scissors" balancing.

The days of massed marines, conscripts, rhino tanks, whatever are long gone.

It's ok though, I still have the good games such as Total Annihilation, Starcraft, and RA2.

Fuck RTS. All hail Spore.
Sins looks promising. But then again Homeworld 2 was kind of week.

I just played Yuri today. Still great after all these years.

Nothing better than overloading a Master Mind or using Black Eagle jets to stop superweapons. *nostalgizes*

if only I had money and no commitments :(

well okay my real life doesn't matter much...anyone want to give me some money?:)

edit: what is it with NS and US marines?

Red Alert 2 was great, but I no longer like the lame massing of tanks or conscripts or whatnot...

isn't that what RTS is all about though without it...its like playing FPS in third person

You are just to old school. Come out of your shell! Those games are great, but try the new generation!

Not with the newer generation. I.E. COH and WIC.

They're not traditional RTS, they have broken the fold.

Take this for example. In Red Alert Two, conscripts were worthless once tanks came, same with GI's. In COH, your Infantry are still useful when tanks are running amok.

Because Marines are the greatest fighting force to ever walk the face of this green earth.

nu-uh a combat medical technician protecting there patients is the most dangerous thing you can find in the woods, hence all the restriction of there use under the Geneva convention:) :p

*hides the fact that I failed selection for the RMC*

edit: BTW how far are you in recruitment and such? (mostly cause I'm thinking of making a passing out parade thread soon but I want some more posters first)

:cool:

Looks promising, we'll see how it turns out. Wonder how it will work on xbox 360.

Opposing Fronts is nice, but goddammit, I want the Russians! Stalingrad would be oh so awesome in CoH.

Anyway, I got Supreme Commander and it doesn't work on my computer. :( I have to actually start doing work and stuff this year, so I'm going to miss out on everything. Bah.

Fuck RTS. All hail Spore.

*Hails SPORE*

SPORE WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!:cool: :)

Yeah, Stalingrad would be unbelievable. I like OF, but Osfront would be 10x cooler.

Spore looks cool, more of a mixture of Strategy and RTS, but should be pretty awesome.

Believe me, I have.

I can't do it though, too much damn micro-management.

I heard that game was going to be for the 360 only...:(

I hope I'm wrong

but...in a way, spore IS an RTS

Oh come on. What about Supreme Commander (http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/652/652972/supreme-commander-20050930113021502.jpg)? That's RTS squared. It's what TA was always meant to be. Well, sorta.

You're right. :(

Yeah which is why I'm looking forward to buying the game I said above. It's back to the simple harvester and construction yard. Not Airdrops, Bulldozers and Anthrax weapons designed by people who obiviously had no ****ing clue what Anthrax was. (Glares at the mockery of CNC "Generals")

You haven't seen COH then, they do away with construction yard and harvestor and have air drops and whatnot,and they do it well.
