RTS equals Real-time strategy for the heads that don't know.
Anyway....so far we got:


-EndWar
-Command & Conquer
-Ruse
-Valkryia Chronicles
-Savage Moon(Tower-defense games count as RTS)
-Whas that other tower-defense joint?...I can't think of it right now..

Anyway, whas the definitive RTS jawn for ya'll. Personally, Ima have ta give it to EndWar, ...wit an honorable nod to Valk-Chron....den a bootleg nod to Ruse(dis game was the shit but I thought unit-upgrades coulda been deeper).

Yo, ...if you know some PS3 RTS's that wasn't mentioned in here, ...up dem joints. Lets get it.
248832, RTS on my PS3? No thanks

Sorry boss, I'd never play an RTS without my K&M. Valk is the only one on your list that i've played on my PS3, but it's turn-based so i wouldn't count it. It's more of a tactical RPG anyway.

I liked Endwar on my PC though, RUSE was meh
248833, You're right about Valk..

>Sorry boss, I'd never play an RTS without my K&M.

^This is a very predominant notion, ...its actually the reason I made the thread specifically for PS3 RTS ninjaz. All good tho, put me up on game...whas some good RTS joints for PC on some military shit?(never played one on PC)



Valk is

^This is 100% true on hindsight. Tossed it in there on some honorable-mention in light of its tactical-depth.


>I liked Endwar on my PC though, RUSE was meh


Yeah Dukez, EndWar is my shit somethin serious. Deep upgrades, easy streamlined interface, ....voice-commands(sheeiiitt)...the fact that you can literally spend months upon months upgrading your battalions keeps me comin back. Case in point, I've been on it for 2.5/3 years and STILL ain't completely max my battalion out. DEEP.

Hmm, if you like having to make MASSIVE armies, Supreme Commander is fun. Has dual-monitor support so can look at two places at once, or always have a full map up on one. The only problem is that the units are squishy so you need some big armies to get the job done.

Company of Heroes is pretty good too. Kinda the opposite though, you want to try and keep all your units alive as much as possible using a retreat function etc.

I played the shit out of Starcraft 2 when it came out, but after beating the campaign and the hype of multi cooled down, i stopped playing. It was good though. I'll probably pick it up again when the Zerg campaign is released.

Then there are the classics like Age of Empires, the OG Starcraft, Warcraft 2. C&C: Red Alert 1 was probably one of my favs ever.
248853, Good Lookin' out Troop.

248840, But it could be fairly easy to do
Posted by jetblack, Sat Jan-15-11 11:04 AM
PS3 has USB keyboard and mouse support.
248851, I didn't know there were console games that has a mouse pointer

248855, Not reading the post title = You're Doing It Wrong.

248849, RUSE has move support
Posted by jetblack, Sat Jan-15-11 01:55 PM
if i see that game on sale I'm coppin'.
248854, Yeah Sun, Ruse is dope.
Posted by NoDrawls McGraw, Sat Jan-15-11 02:56 PM
Like I mentioned,
...my only gripe is that the unit upgrades could've been deeper, but this aside,...its a dope RTS. Camouflaging sectors of the map so that your units in said area aren't detected(check)...

Stashin infantry/rangers in cover to lay ambushes den a mofo mistakenly come into yo ambush and get his shit bust(check)....

Dope ass air-support options, paratroopers to drop behind enemy lines and commandeer bases fo' mo' supplies(check)

Dope MP options too, one-on-one wit a mofo, 2-on-2, 3/4-player free-for-all(<<dat shit is crazy).

If you cop, holla at me...
248872, hmmmwhat would the best pc RTS games be? alli got is warcraft 3

Posted by jetblack, Sun Jan-16-11 09:54 PM
