call of duty isn't an RTS game, and C&C generals was a headshaking disgrace to westwood, imo

[Guybrush]

try a 4x turn-based strategy like Civilization.
wasted my youth on that game

Try Ground Control. Fantastic game, pure strategy, no resource gathering (There's a ground control 2 also, check it out first)

[Pistol]

Yeah i would go with Full Spectrum Warrior, Warcraft, or Starcraft Ghost when it comes out. Maybe he'd like that, anyway good luck shopping.

Counter Strike is great along with all Red Alert games. If you like to play the history of war ..the Rise of Nation series is a fun and can be chalenging game.. i found it to be lots of fun

Sorry I was gonna put up a link to the trailer but I am not allowed to!

From what I have seen on the Atari boards, Act of War is one big pos at release, it's already had 2 MAJOR patches and they are not sure it has fixed the ONE huge bug that makes it unplayable!

Not to mention that people are having huge authentication issues that requires a dl!!!

I think I will wait for 6+ months before I even think about buying it.

Another software developer releases a game WAY to early.

The fanboi's are harping on how atari is as good as Blizzard!

I would say they are slightly better than Cornered Rat Studios.

Stay away from Act of War for at least 6 months. Maybe longer.

Warcraft III and Starcraft.

Starcraft + Rome Total War
Rome total war seems good, i'm a longterm starcraft broodwar player, that is by far the best RTS.
I personally don't like ground control, though some do. Counterstrike is a 1st person shooter.
Red alert--ok, reminds me too much of starcraft which in that case i play starcraft.

Rome Total War's good too...just came in the mail a few minutes ago. Installed it. Played it. Pwnt.

Whatever you do don't buy No Man's Land, was a massive disappointment.

I wouldn't buy games before checking IGN and other sites reviews. They did not like that game I wouldn'tv bought it in the first place. So for future reference check reviews before you buy.
