I disagree I much prefer Company Of Heros lots of hours spent playing with good friends. Reason why i like COH: Game is balanced It is a RTS Graphics are great Its fairly cheap It has a active community The game company is still active with the game Lots of mods and different maps so you never get bored The muiltiplayer is fantastic!

O.o That is very good. I've played CoH and I loved it, yet (like other old games) I didn't think its Online Community would still be active, especially with the Game Company (unlike Age of Empires II, though that is still an active community), and, yes, RTS and Graphics are still very nice indeed.
I'll have to go with AoEII, for all those reasons stated above, with the exception of graphics and the game company. It has friendly people and very different maps, a forest blocking the 2 teams or a deathmatch style where you can spend "Kings" for Upgrades, very neat indeed.
But - I will admit I am fairly biased to AoEII, I find it more flexible than CoH and isn't as restrictive with resources. Not to mention I was brought up playing Operation Flashpoint and AoEII (I remember my dad hiding in the forest with multiple bombard towers against 2 enemies that couldn't get to him for a long while). I also appreciate the more flexible map maker you can use (especially in AoM and AoEIII).
Actually, Operation Flashpoint also had a very intriguing multiplayer experiance, it's been years since I last checked but it was very different to other shooters today (it also had destructible buildings to a poor level, but the idea of it so many years ago was very nice).
Operation Flashpoint - FPS AoEII - RTS Oh and I haven't played it, but StarCraft II looks very interesting on the beta, here is a link to Cynical Brit's YouTube profile (which has SHOUTcraft eSports videos):
