There's an unpopular gaming opinion. :lol:
Hey man, a function local 2 player RTS on a console from the mid 90s? That's something you've got to respect even if you don't personally care for it.

I was just about to bring this up. I didn't play much of it, but my brother played the mess out of it. The soundtrack is burned into my head. I watched him play a ton, too. It's one of the all-time greats. I might also have the soundtrack on a USB drive in my vehicle...

The best RTS I've ever finished was:

Though I own a lot of RTS games I've never played. It's a genre I sorely have neglected.

And that's the other game my brother played a ton of. Battlezone was absolutely amazing.

Command and Conquer: Generals was another really good one IMO, but my all-time favorite RTS is definitely Rise of Nations. I still play that on Steam.

I have actually hear great, great things about Battlezone (1998). It was in several "best games ever" decklists too so I must really be missing something haha
Looking for a cool game? Find it in my blog!

BattleZone '98 was a really neat game. Probably the last game to use the MechWarrior 2 engine. I'll add another glowing recommendation.

Eh, to each his own. It's pretty much unplayable to me. A nice try but some things just aren't meant for consoles.

Admittedly though, you tend to focus more on consoles, right? Console RTS tended to be lackluster ports of PC RTS.

That's true. I love turn-based strategy games, but I am not sure that my love of them would translate to a love for RTS games. (I have yet to enjoy any tower defense game, which, from what I have read, is about as close as we get to quality RTS games on consoles).
