Get both. The total should only run you about $50.
WCIII and FT are good games in their own right; I don't particularly care for the singleplayer campaigns in RTSs so I don't play them. WCIII has a kick-ass online mode because of custom maps; maps that range from finding the player who is a murderer in a mansion to a custom WWII map with WWII units and no population limit.
I have Warhammer 40k but I have not played it online at all. I have enough fun just playing skirmish mode. I'd probably get my ass kicked if I try online. Every class plays differently, so the mixup and combinations make for great fun; the Imperial Guard need to establish super bases pretty much (to increase population, you need more buildings) and the Orks need to build WAGHH! banners to be able to make more (they have the highest number of units). It's fun.
I can send you screenshots of both if you like.

Nah I didn't need screenies. I had a friend's copy of both games installed already anyway, but I was interested in some online fun.
He's all into DOTA anyway.
I picked up MII:TW instead. 'Tis a lot of fun, and it actually runs very well!

If you never tried Starcraft...
Try it... its a game that is still played online.
Graphics are not bad... nothing outstanding.. but good graphics.
Not kidding... it is still one of the best !
Edit... noticed you did try it...
Re-Install it...
When you are bored... you can go for a BGH Game... or a Use Map Settings => Sunken D game
__________________________________________________________
C&C Generals is alright
Just download Regular Generals from torrent sites...
Then buy Generals Zero Hour that comes with a valid key (like 20$)
Zero hour is actually a good expansion.
I will give it to EA... they did not entirely KILL the C&C Series with Generals.
The gameplay is pretty straight forward... ressources = Money/supplies
Money from supply thingys that gets harvested by (american helicopter, Chinese Truck, Arab Peons(without shoes)(can upgrade shoes in zero hour)) Or you can capture oil things
As for gameplay... there is a lot of strategy... but the main strat is HOW TO MOVE YOU're UNITS PROPERLY !!!
It is all about how you advance, how you mix you're units, how you upgrade, how you bomb...
(Sounds like a game George Bush might play daily...)
Its pretty good
__________________________________________________________
I herd roumers of a new RTS game that should be Orgasmic... a beta is out now I think
Supreme Commander (If I didnt butcher the spelling)
Supposed to be revolutionary If its the game I am thinking.
It can even take advantage of having 2 monitors so you can check out 2 places at the same time, or keep the other monitor viewing the world zoomed out and the other one zoomed in...

Earth2160
I tried it before it hit steam
It looks like a complex starcraft...
3 races totally different
It looks alright...
But I am still stuck on starcraft
I STRONGLY SUGGEST CHECKING OUT EARTH2160 REVIEWS, ScREENSHOTS.... VIdeos... it looks pretty good once you know it
_________________________________________________________
Ground Control 2 ?
Its soso
I got bored of it before getting into it...
You do not harvest
You control areas
More areas, more income
Its pretty decent
I think with the exception of the well loved Total Anaya... TA Series... I think I listed some of the best RTS Games

MTW2 hurts my pc a bit more than Rome Total War......so I suggest trying Rome Total War. You can pick it up pretty cheaply, there are two add-ons....oh, and it's absolutely superb!

And for the last time... I'VE TRIED STARCRAFT!!!!!!!!

Dude, go download the Supreme Commander MP Beta. Its a really fun RTS, the battles are huge, and right now its free from www.fileplanet.com. There's no manual or tutorial or anything, but if you're not new to RTS the game is pretty self-explanatory. Go to www.supremecommander.com and watch the trailer, I might buy this game when the full version comes out.

Oh I am definately getting Supreme Commander when it's released, been following it for awhile. I won't download from fileplanet though. Hours of waiting isn't for me.

I think fileplanet is the only place you can get the open beta. Hours of waiting maybe, but many more hours of fun.

What do you think about the new DoW expansion? I have DoW classic and in my opinion its one of the best rts games ever made because you can end a round in 20 minutes full of action as opposed to three hours of collecting stuff to start a 20 minute war.
I heard that there was a mode in the new expansion where you conquer entire planets through a board game style metamap where you can chose what to attack next and then you engage in regular DoW battles. Is that true? Is it as cool as it sounds? Replayvalue (because the DoW classic sp campaign was kinda weak in this regard)? And most important, does it run as good or do I need a better computer for it?

try Empire Earth 2, it goes very deep.
Battle for middle earth 1 ****s ass through a straw though, IMO. prebuild bases allmost, since you can only build inside a circle on the spot where the designers put it, and nowhere else.

Yeah, there's the Meta-map in the single player, but it really feels more like they're trying it out for something bigger down the road. It's not as fully developed as say the Total War series. The focus is still on the skirmishes, just now you can pretty much choose the order you fight in. Definately a fun expansion though, IMO it greatly reballanced the game compared to the spamfest that was Winter Assault.
