    One thing I yearn for from my childhood is a well made RTS with single player campaign in mind as the main form of gameplay. I want a Dawn of War or a Company of Heroes, or a Dune 2000. I don't want a game that was made to be an esport with an 8 mission story tacked on last minute.

    Empire at War is good but the problem is that it's not derivative enough If it had ground combat like Company of Heroes they'd still be supporting that game like how AoE2 gets more support than AoE4

    118) Company of Heroes 2. Relic have this odd habit of having the second game be excellent and the third game be very disappointing. This had a shaky launch but eventually developed into a great skirmish level WW2 RTS, reaching its peak with the stand-alone DLC Ardennes Assault.

    Seriously though, the space game I want is a Halo GSG where the space combat is Sins of a Solar Empire but with Empire at War hardpoints and reinforcements, the ground combat is Company of Heroes, and the 4X galaxy map uses the board game Diplomacy's simultaneous turn based system

    Technically Doom 2 has a level based off the original Wolfenstein, and it's safe to say most of the demons from Doom in general may have been Nazis in a past life. What I'm saying is everyone should play Doom. Also now I want to play Company of Heroes again. That game was great.

    Company of Heroes is still one of the most satisfying RTS games I’ve played because positioning actually matters. Using cover, flanking enemy squads, and dealing with suppression makes every fight feel tactical instead of just a numbers game, which was something new to me coming from someone who used to play Starcraft. If you like RTS games that reward smart decisions and good timing, this one’s an easy recommend.

    Company of Heroes 3 is just worthless and all of the Allied players bitching about balance is (once again) legit. Just played a game where we pushed the Nazi team to their base. They had maybe three points total. No oil. Somehow they built a half dozen panzers AFTER that.

    Probably the best game that made a choice to include playing as Axis like this was Company of Heroes IMO, because the only German campaign has you already thoroughly lost the war and you’re a bunch of barely-functioning units against a literal unstoppable juggernaut of infinite troops, fuck you.
