Best RTS out for pc or ps2???

Take claims of unbalance with a grain of salt, because actively maintained games are always getting patches to change things around. Plus, as an ex-player of MMORPG's as well as many RTS's, it's clear that EVERY player of every side will claim imbalance no matter what the balance of the game is. Sometimes it's as simple as a guy not liking rushing that prompts the "blame the game" syndrome.

I got Supreme Commander and it is extremely slow on my computer, so I don't even play it. This despite the fact that I was one of the biggest fans there was of Total Annihilation, probably, and have been waiting for the sequel in white hot anticipation for ages. My computer is far from the bottom of the line, too.

C&C 3 is quite fun offline, but I got distracted from the game and never tried it online. I will say that the online interface for patches and matches and especially getting games and commented games sorted out was very cumbersome and sloppy even after multiple patches.

Allies were horribly overpowered for most of CoH's existance, at least for the first 4-5 patches. I haven't played in about 6m now. I was a pure axis player, was like 65-9 or so and top 20, and had never even played allies before. My good friend was the top ranked axis and I beat him 2/3 during my first time playing allies.

Yeah it happens. Sometimes imbalance is real. But it's always worth taking with a grain of salt, reading the forums etc. I'll often wait till a game has been out for a while and read some forums about it. If everyone is saying it's unbalanced in the same way and severely so, I'll avoid it, but if you've got, say, both sides saying the other side is better, I'll know it's just the usual whining.

Supreme Commander's balance issues are pretty much sorted now, however a new unit pack is being released soon so that could all change...
