Well, which do you prefer, Total Annihilation, or the C&C series?
(Do not discuss TA:Kingdoms, it is a blasphemy)

Hard choice. I love both. But I'll have to say C&C as its the one i've loved first and it has more games/ story. And Generals is coming out. :nod:

Depends, do you mean certain games or the entire series?

C&C was just groundbreaking for its time in just about every possible way - it was one of those classics that had everything -and even today still has the best RTS storyline I have seen around, but its sequels did not quite live up to those standards. TA is simply an extremely well-polished and overall solid game - this is the kind of thing I really like to see, more so than originality - and of course, the mods out there for TA are incredible. Out of those two, it's hard to say really; in this day I would usually play TA due to its newer technology and gameplay (by the time it came out, RTS was firmly established), but cannot count all the hours I spent with C&C up until only a few years ago.

C&C == C&C:RA == C&C:TS == C&C:RA2 == C&C:[any name here]

TA was great... but due to the horrable multiplayer interface, it got beat down by Starcraft and battle.net in lasting popularity. That and Blizzard ass-fed it to the Koreans and asians in general, who then made it their national sport.

TA - more units (it seems like it anyway), large battles. Need I say more. I could never get this with C&C - or any other RTS for that matter.

EDIT: Ground Control is probably the nearest I've got to something like TA.

Here is another place that I usually visit: http://www.tadesigners.com

I personally would recommend TA: Final Frontier; some of the spaceship models in this are simply amazing. :)

Final Frontier? I never heard of it. When did it come out? Is it a MOD or a whole game?

If you take away the latest three installments (Tiberian Sun, RA2, and Renegade) of the series, C&C owns.
