Out of the few straategies I have played I'd say World in Conflict wins overall. It's the best looking, most cinematic, it's full of good developments all around and the gameplay is decent.
Homeworld was great too, but I did not like the very slow pace of gameplay.
And of course, Wings of Liberty had the best overall design and gameplay. Do you say it that way because this is a starcraft forum? I thought SC2 Campaign was pretty meh. I didn't like where they took the story. WC3 Was amazing though, it really was. Nice combination of gameplay and story. Very enjoyable.
i foiund wc3 campaing really bad and for me sc2 was also one of the best ever made so its just oppinnion based i think
i also think that C&C always have some of the best campaings ever played

I think World in Conflict is a very under rated gem. It's unfortunate. Like I said, there a couple of others with better story and design but this has no real weakness and excellent production values. I guess that WCIII is a worthy contender for best all rounder, but hypothetical WWIII modern day scenarios > fantasy imo.
|
I have very fond memories of C&C1's campaign. It was the first game that I 'beat'. The Nod level where you start with like 4 rocket soldiers and 4 minigunners took me forever to beat but I felt like a mad baller when I did it.
|
Wc3 TFT campaign with Rexxar. Oh yeaaaah
|
AoE: The Rise of Rome! I really loved all the historical people you get to play against and with throughout all of the AoEs, gave a feeling of realism.
|
I'm surprised to see so many people say RoC. Personally, I played the everloving shit out of that campaign and the game in general, but I was maybe 11 when it came out and it was one of the few games I had, so I always thought my memories were just tainted by nostalgia. Perhaps I had better taste in games than I realise!
|
Wc3 RoC for me. Grom was fucking awesome.

Warcraft 3 and TFT campaigns were fun. Starcraft 1 aswell.
Starcraft 2 was abit cheesy, too many weird missions. I missed the standard build a base and kill the AI bases. Not saying it was bad but could been better! the diverse gameplay of single player is the best ting about sc2 imo. such a blast to play the sp missions. So much memorable stuff.. zombie plagues, berserking odin, lava rising, survival
+1
lots of rtses had better story than sc2, but sc2 had the best gameplay and most diverse mission design.
|
Did anyone ever play Knights and Merchants? That was the business... for one mission :D
Also SC:BW, Populous III: The Beginning, Red Alert 2 (not yuri's), and WC3:TFT
|
War3 RoC
It was pretty easy (even on hard) but it's still really fun.
The final Undead and Night Elf missions are works of art imo.
I also really enjoyed the BW campaigns, but that was mostly the dialogue, not the gameplay. The action mission design was pretty meh.
SC2 campaign was really underwhelming.
|
CnC 3 was nice. but kanes wrath and cnc 4 screwed it up. 
i liked sc2's campaign! it was interactive and made you make choices on what to spend. the different moral choices was a nice touch though.
but my fav is warcraft 3 RoC.
The part when arthas turns is super awesum!!!

In terms of gameplay, I thought SC2's campaign was BY FAR the best. I'm usually super bored by campaigns - I didn't like SC's and BW's campaign, and I've never finished WC3's campaign. Not because of the story, but simply because the gameplay was ALWAYS so boring - either build a base and run over opponent, or run around with a squad of units that are given to you.
SC2's missions principles are the same of course, but what you actually have to do brings a lot of tension to the game. And then of course there is all the other awesome stuff like researching upgrades outside of the actual missions etc.
That's just gameplay though.
In terms of story... I'm not really sure. I haven't ever played an RTS that had a decent story, most of it was superficial standard stuff... SC and BW drew a really nice picture of an original universe and the plot developed fairly interesting, but the characters were just pretty one-sided (unlike actual persons).
|
Definitely SC2 WoL campaign.
|
Starcraft and BW. not so much the missions themselves, but just the storyline, characters etc
|
One I've replayed the most was probably the first Homeworld, still love that one to death. Second mission still makes me kinda sad even today =(
I also agree with the people mentioning Wc3, some very good missions in there and not bad story-wise. (So sad that WoW leads to it being canon that so many of the characters from that are killed off in such unsatisfying ways <.<)
|
Company of Heroes was great (the first one), the graphics and style were completely new and revolutionary at the time, the storyline was good too. Seriously, go play it.
WoL was amazing as well.
|
Red alert 1-2 +Yuri's revenge. Command and conquer too. Warcraft campaign and liberty last 
|
|
|
I am pretty much like others here, Wc3: RoC is probably my favorite.
Sc2 had great mission design but facepalm story.
On top of that i enjoy most of the Age of Empire campaigns. WH: Dawn of War was pretty good aswell.
