Idk if it's back. There really is nothing like Red Alert or Generals still.
The RTS formula needs something for the casual player. As a SC - SCII noob I felt exhausted after try-harding a couple of matches and while it was fun, it felt too much of an effort
You are right. There has been some attempt with archon mode and coop missions, though. But individual play is still difficult and intimidating. I stopped at Gold league and never really progressed because I kept being beaten. Thus I retreated to campaigns and coop missions.
Welcome back, commander. Good welcome, soldiers.
Welcome to the RTS HQ, here you will be briefed and brought up to date with news on the RTS world. Feel free to hang out in the lobby, meet new friends, discuss news, strategies, even reminisce the past by discussing beloved classic RTS games.
Travel the world of Red Alert, relive the tiberium wars, fight the burning legion in Warcraft, defend the koprulu sector in Starcraft, collect the spice in Dune and more.
You are in control of the chess board commander. Use it well.
Good hunting.
And remember,
“He commands the future, conquers the past.” -The Messiah
Rules.
As soldiers and commanders, we are expected to be in our best behavior, but we are also allowed to kick back and relax.
