I always loved an rts from c&c red alert on my ps1 on system link with mates , to universe at war on 360 (original faction ideas were great) to tiberium wars or kanes wrath now we have command and conquer red alert 3. I bought the commanders challenges on x box marketplace and believe it truely challenging ! One challenge took me 7hrs 45mins yesterday and the par on the challenge was 12 mins !!!!! Does anyone have a good method to rush the computer with the basic units u start with ? Cos my fastest time is 1/2 hour ?

Sounds decent- I stopped playing them after tiberian sun came out, felt it ruined what it once was. Red alert the originals were brilliant.

Ah yeh I loved the old c+c games and did get into like battlefield commander etc but don't really have time for those games anymore they are ridiculously time consuming lol. No strategy suggestions but I would say interestingly the best I played was actually the Lord of the Rings games IMO.

Red Alert was a favourite for me... But like juggle said... Wayyyyy too time consuming... I seem to only play this, tiger woods and FIFA on xbox.

Hell yes. Started with good old C&C GDI or The Brotherhood of Nod?
TheRamb Add: 86 Jan 17, 2011

Been an RTS fan since birth. I have 3 copies of the original Starcraft, and every C&C made.

I worked on defensive units first, this wastes the enemies resouces as their attacks were useless against my multiple anti personal and tank turrent placements. Then while they attacked me I would build a huge armada of tanks and riflemen and attack all at once. The computer always loses this way. Oh lots of air support helps aswel 😋 luv that game.

Ra2 was the best rts I've played. Don't forget about those prism tanks!
mr joble Jan 18, 2011

I found a good rush method of 2 sputnik straight away to expand to 4 refineries then bang out 7 hammer tanks with grinder tracks and storm the base for the mcv and waR factory , I find the other factions too slow however soviets all the way !!!!
OG Bennyb Jan 18, 2011

I'm now going to play, forgot how good it was, I consider this day written off to heavy mammoth tank production.

Yuri's revenge takes the cake, but the original c&c is a pretty close second. Always fun to build 100 Korean jets and carpet bomb someone base
