I personally have a soft spot for StarCraft2. Being the First RTS I really got into and played. The fact that there is still awesome modded content released in game and from external mods so many years later is amazing to me. I am happy to see that the genre is still getting love in the form of love for old games and new stuff. I wanna get into more at some point when life isn’t so overwhelming, so tell me what has your experiences with RTS games has been like :3

P.S. If you wanna play StarCraft2 Co-op I am bored and the game is Free :3

    Armored Brigade and Call To Arms Warfighter mod I guess are slot two and three.

    I haven’t tried Supreme Commander Forged Alliance but I enjoy watching games (I enjoy watching BAR as well).

    I find C&C and Starcraft-esque RTS games boring and stiff though, I have a lot of issues with where the genre went and I am not surprised it became a relatively forgotten one. The rock paper shotgun simplistic unit relationship micro heavy gameplay feels unsatisfying like the combat in a MMORPG compared to more realistic wargames or a Total Annihilation-like such as BAR or FAF.

    edit I realize there is obviously a lot of skill and depth to Starcraft, I just am bitter the world went with the Starcraft model and basically totally ignored Total Annihilation for a decade or so lol.
