Contributing the the death of RTS games... BLAST YOU RELIC!!!!!!

Ok - RELIC has always been known for innovation. I would bet most of the gamers on here have enjoyed either the Dawn of War or Company of Heroes games, if not both.

However, Relic made a wrong turn in their RTS games when they decided to rework DOW 2 game into TTS games instead. It has its positives, but really the game is more about pretty graphics that it is strategy. Its really gotten MUCH more "shooter" style in gaming.

Now they went and did the same thing with COH: Tales of Valor. No base building. No strategic points. Resources are gained by blowing up your opponent.

UGH!

I am really ticked off here. Next thing you know the RTS games will be gone entirely.

I mean - one review even stated that in COH you can play being your tank - driving it and aiming and shooting. It went so far as to say you would often be "rushing to get a shot off and click a little to fast and miss" - I read that and was like WTH???

There are plenty of FPS games out there - stop killing GREAT games with lots of potential by remaking them into FPS remakes using an established series.

Whats next? SH5 - no wolfpacks, no enemy ships, no bridge view, no water even, but hey, you can run around and shoot stuff - just don't get an itchy mouse finger or you might miss whatever kind of baddie they put in!

*Yes, I know the devs for SH5 are more responsible, but really, this is getting ridiculous!

There is no real good RTS games out there hardly anymore - the latest ones are going the wrong way now - and Relic is "leading the way" to the RTS funeral. Blast it! *Just not with an itchy mouse finger - you might MISS!"*
