http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=186907 While the OP may not be terribly interesting, scrolling through a few of the replies are pretty funny. Funny to see what some people value in an RTS. One guy literally said he could just watch 2-3 CoH reps a day and be thoroughly entertained indefinitely. Also of note is that there community isn't entirely without reason. There are quite a few people there putting in a good word for Starcraft.   | ||

These are games that have a different appeal than starcraft. They're focused on tactics and micromanagement and pretty graphics and How many other RTS's have your men screaming out on a consistent basis "Schiesse I'm hit!" or "Aw fuck that almost hit me!" or who could forget "Eat lead motherfucker!" , whereas starcraft is more cerebral.None of 'em, dammit! | ||

You hear that boxer? better switch to CoH. People who say shit like that are obviously retarded and haven't played SC on a competitive level The thing is, for most of us here, our whole approach to RTS games has changed once going through the pro scene and emulating our favorite pro players... for the "average" gamer, they don't have the concept of multitasking to the degree that competitive gaming requires That said, CoH is an amazing game. It is not in the same genre as Starcraft, as it is more of a smaller-squad tactical RTS... The game played at a high level is amazingly beautiful and just as majestic as its amazing graphics and sounds... There is a surprising amount of things to do in the game, with a constant tug-of-war of skirmishes and positioning. The people in this thread who have played the game only superficially are just as guilty at bashing CoH as the referenced "noobs" in the CoH site bashing Starcraft. Both games are amazing and have competitive potential, and IMO are the two best RTS games in the past decade. | ||

CoH doesn't have anything in common with that piece of crap in a box called WiC. | ||

Oh: IMO CoH is the third best RTS next to BW and WC3. Id say Armies of Exigo, unpatched and abandoned, is still better than all other RTS and would be 3rd imo. Had it been supported fully we might have had a rival for 2nd who knows | ||

I played an unpatched version that never crashed. WiC was hardly unpolished. It wasn't cranked out by any means. If your isolated crash experience is all you're judging it by, then I have to say you're missing out. | ||

I just find the reasonings behind some of the assertions in the thread I linked to are laughable. Simply saying any game is the best without any firm reasoning behind it is folly. If I said "Starcraft is obviously the best RTS because I can make critters explode by clicking on them a lot" I'm fairly certain you'd all assume I'm retarded. I may find SC:BW to be the best RTS of all time but as there is no true quantitative measure to determine the "best" it falls to opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I'm going to laugh my ass off if you tell me an RTS is the best ever because replays are entertaining alone. | ||

The micro in it was a lot of fun though. There's not much funnier than circling and killing 3 stugs in a row with your sherman while only taking 1 or 2 hits. I'd probably be playing the expansion right now if I hadn't discovered Starcraft. Definitely a damn fine game and one I wouldn't mind getting back into someday. | ||
