This is one old topic...

I was quite a die-hard C&C fanatic many years ago and spent hundreds of hours modding both games. However, Westwood seems to be releasing a new sequel just about every year, none of which are really good in comparison to the others of their time, and I have lost the respect I once had for the company.

The Best "clickety-click"-type RTS ever is the original Total Annihilation, I still play it on LAN with my friends. Of course with the TA unit compilation pack, which gives you like 200 new units.

I agree there.

Well from reading over the topic people seem to be forgetting one thing... Westwood created RTS..

Everyone seemed to be saying that Westwood just steals ideas and crap but Dune 2 for PC was the first RTS ever created. You can't call them unoriginal as they are the fathers of RTS's... Thank you...

I've played these other RTS's and though some have some good things about them they fall short in general gameplay. BTW, Total Annihilation sucked, IMHO

Dune 2 - 9/10 (only main nitpick was inability to select more than one unit at a time)
C&C: Tiberian Dawn - 9.5/10
C&C: Red Alert - 6/10
Dune 2000 - 6.5/10
C&C: Tiberian Sun - 5/10
C&C: Red Alert 2 - 10/10
Emperor: BFD - 10/10
C&C: Renegade - 9/10 (only problem is the semi-blocky character models, although the online C&C-mode value is unbeatable )
TA: - 20/10 (the game, while completely lacking tactics, was by far the best RTS EV4R!! )

Venom, you can't deny the fact the Westwood was an Instrumental Part™, a Key Player™, a Central Cog™ and the Big Cheese™ ( sorry, I couldn't resist... ) shaping RTSes into what they are today. Now, whether you blame them or praise them for that is up to you, but the fact remains that they played a Central Role™.

Hmmm... well I don't really care central role or not, just whether the game's good or not

I just pointed out that dune2 was not the first one

Sigh...wonder when this whole Command & Conquer series involving GDI and NOD is ever going to end...

The story is getting lame.

There's 2 RTS featuring the nod and the GDI (Tibirian Dawn and Tib. Sun) , plus one mission pack for Tiberian Sun (her... Firestorm I think, don't remember the name, not the same in french)  and one FPS (renegade). Nothing that bad if you ask me. Go complain about the starwars games, when the ratio is 1 good game for 5 ubber**** ones.

In TIB SUN they turned KANE into a *censored* (yes the F word) Puppet
