Some people hate them, why? they are complex and cool! Does anyone else hate them?

I hate you. Only because yu tarnish the name of good RTS'S with your dirty dark post:(
They rock. Warhammer Dawn of War. Battle for middle Earth. Warcraft 3. Nothing there to hate m8!

tbs is better. ^_^

i hate them i can never win

glares at sarah

Rts are great, though they do get borin after a while. Unless there online

They're only boring if you follow the game the same way over and over. Hell Civilization III was only fun for me when I declared war on all the other civilizations and beat them all. =) When I played normally on it, I was bored to tears.

That's clearly because you are shit at it. If you are able to beat the other nations easily, you are not playing it right. Crank up the difficulty and prepare for a challenge. ;) (anyways, isn't mindlessly bashing the other civs a lot less challenging and therefore not at all fun or involving?)

i think rts is real time strategy, so I agree with detonate, except that I hate warhammer 40k now. rather play nexus or C&C

Age 2 plz 12 min archer rush O NOES!

i havent been able to enjoy any RTS since AOE2
