  Do we have any fans of the rts here? Starcraft, command and conquer, Warcraft? I'm a huge fan, but it seems rare to find others!

  I have played a few in my time, going right back to Dune 2 (the pre cursor to the original command & conquer) in which the final fight took over 7 hours!!!
  
  I have played a few of these games over the years, but honestly my favourite for multi player would have to be C&C Generals, it was the first rts i played that i was heavily involved in the multilayer side of the game with most of my mates playing it on a very regular basis we got fairly good at it.

  I never played Generals but I saw it around the shops when it was released. Was it any good, was it still like a the other Command and Conquerors?
  
  But funny you should make this thread, I downloaded C&C Tiberian Sun and Firestorm on Sunday night. Apparently they were released as free a while ago, which is great as I remember when I was younger and I borrowed it off of my mate and I loved it but never bought it :P

  I was a huge World of Warcraft fan several years ago. I was pretty much addicted and playing 4-6hours every day and many nights not finishing till very late. Although this sounds bad it was and still is the best game i have ever played.
  
  Unfortunately I graduated from university and had to get myself off as nothing good can come of those hours spent lol.

  Generals was a breath of fresh air compared to Red Alert as you can manoeuvre the landscape angle to suit you, the ability to have multiple build cues again was sweet and some of the stuff you could do was amazing, like building a massive army, popping it into a tummel at one point on the map then instantly popping out another tunnel somewhere else on the map, very handy for mass deployment of mobs. The animations and graphics were good for the day too. But it was the multi player that kept me going back again and again.
  
  World of warcraft btw is an MMO not an RTS, Warcraft 1 2 and 3 were RTS.

  Generals was great, but I missed the kitsch of the storyline from previous games. But the engine was terific and lead to a great template for the follow up games C and C 3 and red alert 3. Can't comment on 4 but I know it was completely different. Where did you download that for free? Tib sun I mean.
