mossygiraffe Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I'm looking for presents for a buddy of mine. He's a pretty hardcore RTS gamer, so he has most stuff that's popular. I'm not really familiar with the genre and I don't know all of what he has. I need either something obscure or something new or coming soon. Anyone know any good RTS war games? Any suggestions are appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel=UK= Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 erm...well if hes a lord of the rings fan how about The Battle for Middle-earth . War wise well if hes a big fan he will most prob have all the Command & conquers erm maybe Rome: Total War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossygiraffe Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think he has anything and everything ever created that has anything to do with Lord of the Rings. :) He's a big nerd. I know he also has Rome: Total War. His favorites are C&C: Generals and Red Alert 2. I guess this is gonna be harder than I thought, is there anything new or anticipated in that genre that you know of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd108 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Warhammer 40.000 dawn of war. ground control 2 are both solid fairly new titles that he should enjoy, Warcraft 3 and its expansion packs if you want something a little older (although not dated by any means). Theres a new C and C red alert title due out sometime this year but dont hold your breath. IF hes got all them already then I suggest you get him a 4 pack of larger, that never fails :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossygiraffe Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 LOL... I wish. He's having this big sweet sixteen type party, with no alcohol... I am wary about getting him anything now because I think he has most every RTS war game ever made. I did a search for things coming soon like C&C Generals and found a game called Act of War here:http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/actofw...tion/media.htmlIt looks excellent to me, but I'm not sure it something a hardcore RTS guy would like. Has anyone heard anything about it? Played the demo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war_criminal Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hey I downloaded that demo of Act of War you were talking about yesterday and it was awesome! I actually went out today and bought it because I like it so much I had to try the rest! I am very happy I did because its awesome! The storyline is freakishly realistic but thats what makes it so cool! Well the graphics and stuff definately help! Anyway thanks for the info and I would tell everyone to at least try the demo because you will probably get hooked just like me! :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
