Favourite RTS?

[Darkfly]

What is eveybody's favourite RTS (real time stragegy) game?

Mine is Red Alert closely followed by Red Alert 2 then Starcraft. I'm a big sucker for live action sequences (Red Alert, Wing Commander, you name it I've played it) plus Red Alert was my first proper PC I owned at the age of 6.

I used to play alot of RTS. Here are my favorites:

Starcraft
Warcraft 3
Dawn of War
C & C Generals
C & C 3
Rise of Nations
Age of Mythology

 

[Addendum]

In college, I played a bunch of Warcraft 2 and Red Alert. A buddy of mine let me try the original Command and Conquer and I enjoyed that. Once Starcraft came out, I got bored with Warcraft.

My computer can still run Starcraft, which surprises me since it's a 10 year old game and none of the other ones I have work. I picked up that collection of Command and Conquer games but I've not installed it yet since I'm not sure if they'll run on XP

I'm torn between Medieval Total War 2 and Dawn of War. Both give me massive headaches after playing. One gem that gets little or no love was Battle Realms. It wasn't the most impressive of RTS but I liked the overall feel of the game.

I´m a big fan of Blizzard, Ensemble and Relic.
All they do is gold, so there, anything made by those guys are my favorite RTS.

Massive (World in Conflict and Ground Control) are also very good.
