Dawn of War or Red Alert 3?
I just got them, and I want to play with somebody.

Okay, sure. I look forward to it. I'll suck, seeing as I just got it, but whatever

Okay I have decided to turn this into a general RTS discussion topic.
Anyway, I won my first game of Red Alert 3 online yesterday. Terror Drones are awesome, we were in a 2v2 game and using drones I managed to kill all of my enemy's ore collectors. Both enemies kept attacking me constantly, but that left my ally free to build up his economy and army. Then he attacked, which made them pull off from raiding me. So I teched up and sent 3 Kirovs sailing over one enemy's base. Bye bye base.

I got Sins of a Solar Empire last week. It's an exellent space stragety game in my opinion, but games take about 2 Hours to even get finshed, on average. Does anyone elese have this gem? Maybe we could play online.
EDIT: Oh, and SupCom too.

Man, I could never even come close to understanding Supreme Commander. I'm barely competent at Starcraft, which is sort of an average-level RTS in terms of complication.
And, annoyingly, I'm going to have to build a new computer before I can upgrade this one to be good enough to run Fallout 3 and Starcraft 2. Incidentally, if any of you have ever built computers yourself, I'd like to hear whatever you have to say on it or recommendations about what parts to get. I'd like mine to be fairly good, and upgradable to be able to manage stuff like, maybe, Call of Duty 4.
...By the way, Bulbmin, how is Dawn of War?

It would be easier to organize games.

I have a Celeron 2.4 MHz Processor(A weened Intel), a Nivida GeForce 6200, Somewhere along a 6 GB Hard Drive, and about 1500 MB memory. That should be a starting point for your new computer, assuming you update evey year, though I saw COD4s reqirements, you will need a better graphics card(a GeForce 6700), 2 More GB of memory, and replace the Celeron with a dual-core Intel.

For GRAPHIX CARDZ I suggest the Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX. It got one and it works like a charm.

I sold off SupCom, as I really didn't like it, but that's probably because when I played it on my computer, it was very slow, and was almost impossible to play. I'm going to get Company Of Heroes instead, as it fits my computer spec thingies, and I like the smaller, more tactical, RTSs.

I still have to look into it. If I can, I'd like my computer to be able to run things of that quality, but I might not necessarily get Fallout 3. I'm most interested in Battlefield 2 and Starcraft 2 when it comes out. I haven't looked at prices yet, how expensive are those video cards? I'd like to keep my spending on a video card down to 100$ maximum, although that might not be possible for running recent games.

And you play as the OP Brits. Otherwise you will get destroyed online.

It won Gametrailers RPG of the year, and PC Game of the Year. Also nominated for GotY.
