In my mind the RTS genre hit major twin peaks with SupCom and CoH1. SupCom is the best of its subgenre (massive rts? actually the recent and free Zero-K hits real good in this genre too!) CoH 1 is the top of the Dawn of War family of more tactical RTS.
I haven't played in a long time, but I recall the story being good. The mechanics though were just so top notch! Great squad controls, not too much micro, vehicles feel really impactful, the nature of control point capture means every skirmish is very dynamic. Ah, what a classic!
holy shit i was playing the fuck out of supreme commander 1; never heard of the game, only played it because it came with my new GPU for free. i had been waiting for starcraft 2 for years and years and when it finally came out i was like wow...supreme commander was better...
