I really like that one too. An expansion either just came out or is imminent, too.

Yeah COH:Opposing Fronts has been out like 2 weeks or so. Fun but the British turtle style is somewhat annoying. I prefer a more fluid game rather then mortar/arty duels.

On a fun side note stats have been broken since release. They were working fine in beta, gg relic.

edit:

it should be pointed out that this is going to be an impediment to playing/enjoying modern rts. Blarg mentioned RAM which is of course important but 1.6ghz also doesn't really cut the mustard anymore.

I really NEEED to play 1 but my cpu is 512ram and 1.6ghz

Yeah that's definitely one that requires a reasonable comp. You can dial the settings down quite a bit, but still.

Dawn of War was made by the same people and has pretty similar gameplay in a lot of ways, but is set in a sci-fi/fantasy universe. That's very fun, but like any older RTS, the community is limited. However, it's still going, because the game is really good. Very much a quick, active RTS, and turtling isn't a solid choice because map control is so important. Also, you can get recorded games for it, which are great fun to watch and learn from. That's one of my favorite features in any RTS game.
