I know alot of people like RTS for multiplayer, but how do you feel about single player in RTS? If you like them, which one is your favorite?

Only if I find myself with absolutely nothing to do will I bother with RTS campaigns usually.

My favourite is Homeworld's, followed by Red Alert's.

I only play SP for RTS games. My life is very busy and I can't play for long stretches online so SP does the job...

I like the SP campaigns in RTS'. I liked Warcraft 3 a lot and right now I'm playing the SP for CoH: Opposing Fronts and it's awesome.

Single player all the way, I can not be bothered by rude people or elite people playing on the amatuer ladders.

Age of Empires all of them.

rise of nations is the best single player rts game yet...it has so much to do from conquer the new world to conquering the world....jack up the AI to the hardest difficulty setting and conquering the world is very very satisfying

I usually finish the campaign before I move on to getting my ass kicked over the Internet.

The campaigns are usually pretty bad, but I like to finnish them granted it gets pretty hard at times. They sometimes get soo cheasy I'm almost self-conciance playing them, but I guess I like that cheeseness.

Havn't gotton far, but WiC has a pretty good story, CoH had a very well put together story as well(I too lost intrest on the very last level!!)

I consider COH, COH:OF, World in Conflict, and Rise of Nation's campaigns as the cream of the crop.

I always play the single player campaigns first before trying online.. although i feel that a lot of them lack a good campaign to what they used to. C&C Red Alert, Warcraft 2, Starcract, Age of Mythology.. they all had great campaigns. A lot of todays RTS games rely on multiplayer so they don't have to put effort into a single player campaign.. although that can be said for other genres too.

I do like single player campaigns and i really did... i just wondered why most gamer here in Manila, Philippines really put themselves hard on multiplayer matches with its fun mode DOTA, they just didn't know the core story of W3.
