In 1998 was the first time i played StarCraft which in my option was and still is the best game ever RTS game ever made with the up incoming SC 2 in 2010. I like watching the OSL on Utub with the insane micro from Korea. Starcraft is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The first game of the StarCraft series was released for Microsoft Windows on 31 March 1998 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starcraft
In 1999, was the first time i played Command & Conquer. the best out of the command and conquer first decad was Comand & Conquer Generals Zero Hour....., abbreviated to C&C and also known as "Tiberian Dawn",[3][4][5] is a 1995 real-time strategy computer game developed by Westwood Studios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Generals_-_Zero_Hour
In 2002 i first played Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (War3 or WC3 or RoC) is a real-time strategy computer game released by Blizzard Entertainment on July 3, 2002 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraft_III
In 2004 i was very intersted in playing Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth due to the fact I not only read the serices in high school but also seen the movies.The best out of all the series was BFME 2. Rise of the witch king was a waste of money and very unballanced. I had alot of enflunces with BFME 2 DC patch The BT2:DC was created by MaDDoX and company....... PC real-time strategy game developed by EA Los Angeles. It is based on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Middle_Earth
In 2006 is when i started playing The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, abbreviated BFMEII, is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by Electronic Arts. I feel is the best RTS game made but was never fine tuned as far as balance and usefull ness of powers and units made it very limited to one on one stratages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Battle_for_Middle-earth_II


Some of the more recent RTS games i have played are Universe at War: Earth Assault ...very epic but no one plays
Company Of Heroes tales of valor... very well done....
