    Well with my new gaming computer, I need new games. I downloaded the demo for Supreme Commander and found it great. But before I go out and buy it, is there any other comparable RTS out there that is better? Truthfully, this is only my second RTS ever :eek: (C&C3 on X360) so any other's out there that im missing?

    Warcraft3 is pretty much a classic now but a lot of people still play it. There are alot of custom games you can play via WC3, Dota (Defend of the ancient) being the most popular.

    C&C is better from what I hear and warcraft III: TFT is a classic. Starcraft is okay and it's sequel is coming :p

    Company of Heroes FTW, but it's not that comparable to Supcom. I'd recommend C&C3.

    Just a warning though. As fun as Supreme Commander is, it'll give any system a run for its money. If you have more than 2 players, even the high end systems choke on it. Its a very poorly optimized game.
