Company of Heroes is tons of fun. I really recommend it it has a ladder for 1v1 2v2 and there are still enough people active that u will find a game in like 1 minute.
Its also easy to learn and with sc/sc2 mechanics you can easily handle everything the game has to offer to crush your oponents.
You can play up to 4 factions with are not perfectly balanced but once you figure out how to counter some lame builds you should be good to go.
I gotta admit though that its quite random.... basically everything from simple engaging of two unit groups to throwing grenades or tank fire is pretty lucky sometimes and can get you rage in some moments.
Overall if you are looking for some freshness( is that a word?) from your sc2 routine that is a pretty good choice.
I would rate it like 8,5/10 overall

edit: forgot to mention its not free but u can get the main game and the first expansion (together its called gold edition or something) at steam for like 10 euro. The second expansion is crap anyways and will only unlock some units you dont really need (units you can replace older units with but doesnt have a big impact on the game) and some gamemodes that after playing them 2-3 times get boring pretty fast. (3 gamemodes but not sure)

I would recommend Dawn of War 2 : Retribution , it has some minor online tournaments , you can still find alot of players to play with on steam , 1v1 is great , 2v2 is tons of fun , and its real time strategy , not free though.

or you 2 can go old school and get Warcraft 3 , its pretty cheap these days , and still alot of players on ladder.

Horrible game, horrible community full of fanboys and tryhards (if there still is anyone around at all). Dont waste your time/money on this.
Regarding the genre its closer to a squad based game of tag than an RTS.

This is my biggest problem with the game, it's so fucking awesome but then a whole Squad of units gets oneshotted by the first artillery shell without a chance of retreating... God... so frustrating

Ooh, AoE 2 seems interesting, I may need to try and track down my old copy! (My internet sucks, so I can't download it unless it's like, 500 mb or less, but my friend can download it unless it's like, 2+ GB) I didn't know it still had such an active community. I've heard it's BWesque in that everyone is awesome, but if I'm playing my friend that won't be a factor.

So many memories, man it'll be a headspin to try and play that game competitively when I used to just fuck around in campaign when I had no idea how to play RTS's. (More than 1 barracks? Why would I want that when I can make all the troops I want out of one!)
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

How cancel "squad based" and "RTS" each other out at all? Its just both.

If you'd ready carefully you'd notice that that is not my point at all.

If by "your point" you mean bashing DoW then yea i noticed that but it still doesnt mean its more of a squad based game than an RTS but hey i dont really want to discuss that stuff since its pretty meaningless anyways so i guess next time i will just add a smiley at the end of my comment so it doesnt come over as an insult or something
