lol freezes are becoming comical

This! So... much... freeze!

Would be so awesome if Relic brings the Commonwealth back with a different play style!

Heck, they played such a huge role in WWII, they should be in the game and Commandos just had the most style!

Did he say something today. Where?

Yeah, where? I couldn't find it unfortunately.

RTS has advanced in huge leaps and bounds since the 90s, with all kinds of developments that utilize the potential of more advanced engines, CPUs and GFX cards, mostly so as ro involve a macro gaming perspective on top of the traditional (system limitation) on a micro scale.

None, though, have achieved wide success.

The genre has evolved excellently, from a design and strategy perspecrive. Problem is not there. Its in many people apparently not wanting to play games that require the kind of multi-tasking and strategic perspective that these games demand.

Its perplexing as to why exactly, but I think thats really what it boils down to.

Carronade, are you my brother from another mother?

It seems so! Are you a Finnish girl by any chance? I know one and she is using that saying all the time

I personally blame MOBAs for it as they have started dumbing down RTS games to what we know today as LoL or Dota2. Couple that with more and more lazy and less demanding players and you've got a recipe for dead genre.

I don't get how so many people here are hating on MOBAS. I like to play traditional RTS games and I like to play Dota2 and Smite. I know many others who do too. Looking at the amount of different heroes, abilities, items and strategies existing in most MOBAS I think they are in fact quite complex. Both live from an active meta where more than a few standard builds or strategies are viable.

I think what RTS games are missing these days is innovation.

I did not see any strategy games being released that brought some real innovation to the table like COH did back in the day with the cover and suppression and so on, I was mind blown.

Or remember Battle Realms anyone? Those were approaches to the RTS genre that brought some new concepts and ideas, and I didn't see a similar game being released nowadays, or do you guys know one? Either it is just Total War 10 with the same stupid AI, or Age of Empires 5000 HD Edition or Stronghold The Crusaders Ultimate Mega Edition 3.

Plus, I think a well-balanced game with less options beats a more complex, but horribly balanced game any day. Though it seems many studios think people just want "features features features" with the same old concept behind it.
