Whats everyones fav war stratergy game?

The only two i have ever played is command an conquer and Star Wars Galatic battle grounds and truly loved them both.

For all you gammers out there, whats the best game you have ever played similar to this??

uranium_death · 30-01-2007, 12:59 PM

Command an Conquer?

Bah...

Ironically, I just quit playing Dune II, the TRUE ORIGINAL real time strategy for the pc.

The AI isn't as good, but I love the game itself. Memories.

C+C just doesn't turn me on.

Dune II FTW!

Also a fan of Warcraft II.

But Dune II is my absolute fave. 1992 and still rocking!

XR Rob · 30-01-2007, 01:01 PM

Rise of Nations... without a shadow of doubt in my mind. Buy it.

SpooN XL · 30-01-2007, 01:03 PM

Any of the Total War series are good.

The latest is Medieval Total war

4.9 EF Futura · 30-01-2007, 01:04 PM

Used to play copious amounts of C&C!!!

Warcraft III was great, if you dont mind the medievil theme in place of modern warfare??

xr8 007 · 30-01-2007, 01:07 PM

Ok thanks dudes. I’m not a big time player/gamer, but I certainly like those strategy real time games?

any of them available on x-box??

Ringo · 30-01-2007, 01:12 PM

I had a crack at Call of Duty II a few weeks ago....it was so additive...I'm going to have to get it when I get my new PC.

No, the best strategy games are always on the PC

And, especially for games like Rise of Nations, the specs aren't that high, so you can even run it on an old banger.

I've played this and loved it as well.

I also have bought C&C Generals, but haven't played it much. I'm not much of a gamer as I am a programmer and are more interested in other things than games.
The C&C games are great, I have played most of these, as was Dune II ages ago when I played it.

XR Rob · 30-01-2007, 01:45 PM

The first C&C game was mind blowing (in its era that is... which was 1993 or 1994 or something), and the follow-up, Red Alert, was fun too. After that, I started to lose interest in them... they just got a bit too way out for me, particularly in terms of the weapons and vehicles. I like more realistic war games.

FASTXR · 30-01-2007, 01:49 PM

Have always loved the C&C series; there's something about medieval/fantasy games that just doesn't do it for me.

Unfortunately, I've been stuck on one mission of C&C Generals - Zero Hour for 14 months now on and off!!

C&C 3 Tiberium Wars comes out later this year YAY!!!
looks HOT!!!
theres a few trailers for it..
its set in the future like the original and tiberium sun games with Kane and NOD and GDI etc... and theres a 3rd faction
cant wait for it!!

i didnt like generals too much.. not enough units to choose from

age of empires was good

Dawn Of War warhammer 40k was good

XR Rob · 30-01-2007, 01:57 PM

You guys know that there are more realistic alternatives to C&C though, right? It's not like C&C is the only game with a modern theme and everything else is fantasy or medieval bollocks.

gozza · 30-01-2007, 02:08 PM

age of empires 3

mowog · 30-01-2007, 02:18 PM

None as a parent these things are a pain in the A R S E...

Dune and your toast

xr8 007 · 30-01-2007, 02:28 PM

does anyone know where i can download Star was galatic battlegrounds from. I called every game store available and they said only "Online"

xr8 007 · 30-01-2007, 02:45 PM

I dont mind buying it but its not available anywhere!!!!! anyone?? Or should i just play other games such as age of empires etc?

XR Rob · 30-01-2007, 03:01 PM

Probably because Galactic Battlegrounds is really old at this point in time. There's a newer Star Wars based RTS kicking around these days, can't think of its name offhand, and its pretty good - although apparantly gets a lot better with the changes brought ebout in its first expansion pack. Just can't think of its name.

Redrum · 30-01-2007, 03:06 PM

More tactical than strategical, Company Of Heroes is my favourite. Best RTS up until the release of Supreme Commander is Total Annihilation.

xr8 007 · 30-01-2007, 03:07 PM

use the force and THINK, THINK very hard!!! I'm dying to play this game again. Is there a modern warfare game like this going around at the moment??

wow we have a play off here!!!!!! Anyways we can organise a battle??

F6T · 30-01-2007, 05:05 PM

I can't believe that no-one has mentioned Starcraft and Starcraft Broodwar.

Best.strategy.game.ever.

Have wasted hours on this game. also warcraft II and III.

But C&C started it all off for me. that game was unreal when it first came out.

Recently got addicted to playing Civilization II again last week. spent my entire weekend playing it and got a sore wrist and arm!

Yep, have 2 agree, SC/BW are the ultimate! Iam still playing lol, have been for last 8 or 9 years now!

Bucket · 30-01-2007, 05:29 PM

I'm playing one called "Company of Hero's" at the moment...simply awesome! It's set in WW2 and its like being a part of The "Band of Brothers" TV Series...

Also looking forward to Supreme Commander, sequel to TA

Dezza · 30-01-2007, 05:33 PM

I've also played DuneII a lot of times. It was a great game, and has already been mentioned started the whole war strategy genre.

I also like Warcraft 3 and Command and Conquer - Generals.

I tend to like most of these type of games but these 3 are the best
