Anyone a fan of RTSs?

[mjp1980s]

Just wondering if anyone here is a fan of the real time strategy genre?

Been playing WC:TFT forever and a little CnC3 latley.

Looking at these two upcoming titles though, they look pretty promising.

^ Game looks f___ing massive. In multiplayer you can chose a specific role in the battle (airforce, ground, ect...) The demo is out now, check it out.

^ Made by alot of old westwood peeps (inventors of cnc, their office was closed after they were bought by EA). Music done by Frank Klepacki. Really looking forward to this one. Windows Live will allow PC users to play against xbox live users when its released.



The one thing that I always hope for in an RTS game is support. Such patches and balance tweaking. So many good games go to hell because of the lack of support/patching.
