The first RTS that keeps me excited every time I play even though I am RPG junkie.
One year ago I decided to find myself a RTS that I can play as much as I play my favourite RPGs and I think I've found it. Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is just an awesome RTS. It's my favourite. I really like that when you make a unit it comes out of the building like the real thing. I like that a lot because in most RTS the units just pop out of nowhere near their building. I watched some Starcraft 2 videos and I can't believe the units still do that. I hope they fix this lame animation. In my opinion the sound in C&C 3 TW is the best of all RTS games I'VE EVER PLAYED. The graphics of the game is just awesome even though the shadows suck at settings below High ( including high ). But you can set the shadows to max and leave the rest setting at high if your GPU is not that good. Good thing I have high-end PC with excellent GPU and I can play the game at Ultra High settings even with anti-aliasing at 9 but the game looks great even at medium settings (excluding the shadows). And that's a good thing because the recent games have so high requirements especially the RPGs so I had to buy a new PC which I needed anyways. My old one was too old ^_^. C&C 3 will run smoothly on most PCs.
The campaign is great with enough missions to get you excited. The battles are just awesome. The explosions are mind blowing. You can garrison units in buildings and vehicles.
Other thing I like is that when you want to build something you don't need all the required credits for a particular building or unit to start building it. You can put on hold or cancel the production of structures and units. The buildings, the units and the maps look excellent. Of course there isn't a perfect game and will never be. It has a few bugs but they are hardly noticeable. This is what a RTS game should look like. I will be playing this game for a long time. At least until the release of Starcraft 2 and who knows maybe even after that.
