Honestly, ive not really enjoyed any RTS. Well, for a few then I get bored with them very fast.
Don't know what it is, think the whole overview aspect of it "being not first person" is what gets me. I am more into games that have a First Person point of view. Love the Thief series of games, have them all. Metal Age was a great release. GTA3+ of course :P
Age of Empires II was ok, the only one I really got into was Empire Earth and the expansion pack. That was a great game. Not really played Empire Earth II yet, I have it but so busy with work lately I don't have time to do anything atm. Between coding in PHP, building a website or building a computer for someone I get less and less time to even check my email no less play a game :'( Then theres the wife and kid, and another kid on the way 0o
But I can imagine the system requirements if the game turns out to be that good looking ingame. 0o
*sigh* I miss playing IL-2 Sturmovik and Forgotten Battles Expansion, best Combat FS avail in my opinion
