Got a new laptop on the way and figured I'd grab up a good ole RTS since I enjoyed them so much in my younger days. I was a Command & Conquer guy along with some AoE. Sadly thats about as far as my knowledge goes on this genre.

Basically whats the best RTS thats fairly new

Company of Heroes is a really good RTS series that is newer. If you have never played Homeworld, I would suggest giving that a go if you can find a copy. Even though it is almost 15 years old, it is a really great game.

Age of Empires II HD
Starcraft 2
Company of Heroes

My 3 personal favorites and arguably the 3 best RTS out there.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the AOE series:

- Age of Mythology
- Rise of Nations
- Age of Empires III

The RTS genre is now extinct, unfortunately.

Other than Starcraft II, there really hasn't been a decent RTS in years.

Crusader Kings II, but I am using 'RTS' a little broadly.

Yeah, Age of Empire 2 is as phenomenal today as it was a decade ago when I first played it. (Just realized this game came out in 1999. I'm not sure its truly ever been topped.)

When I got bored of that Rise of Nations was a breath of fresh air.

Metal Fatigue brought a lot of fun to the genre too.

Ground Control 1 & 2 had great moments.

Warcraft III reminded me of following truely great story lines in a RTS.

World in Conflict had some fun things to explore.

Galactic Civ 2 is on sale for $5 on Steam. It is a 4x turn based game but still really fun and well worth $5
