Any good, free, online RTS games?

Hiya. I'm looking for fun online RTS games (Real time strategy). I know in this genra, the games can still very greatly. I wan't it to be something along the lines of... Command and Conquer games, Red alert, Age of Empires... My computer just broke and I have to resort to online games. So if you have any good ones, please respond. Thanks.

Have you played Starcraft or Starcraft 2? Also, Age of Empires 2 is amazing. I'd also suggest Supreme Commander, but it's a bit more complicated then other RTS games. But it's very fun and you can use nukes.

It's free, right? I don't really have the will to buy a good online RTS games.

Uhm, Starcraft 2 isn't. Don't know about the rest.

Oh I didn't know you where looking for free ones... Well none of the ones I listed are free, but I know for a fact you can get AoE2 for pretty cheap, same with Star Craft, but if you end up getting Star Craft you'll want to get the Brood War expansion.

League of Legends.

Whoa, I've been playing this and it's DoTa type and it's ****ing amazing.

Get it now, you won't regret it.

Bloons?

I liked Halo Wars. It was really good (if the other player didnt play cheap). I had alot of fun with it, but i know most people didnt.

Guys, read more carefully. He's looking for free online strategy games, preferably web-based since his computer isn't up to par. Recommending console games etc. isn't going to get him very far.

Or better yet, play League of Legends until you can purchase an account for Heroes of Newerth, a far superior and more challenging game also based on DoTA.

(Or Dota 2 when Valve releases it later this year, supposedly.)

Glest is a pretty ok free rts.

Halo Wars would be a whole lot better if it were a PC game...

Warcraft 3 is an excellent RTS. It doesn't require the computer to be very powerful, and if you get tired of the strategy part...there's a whole lot of other modes online in custom game!
One of the best RTS games!

I would suggest Company of Heroes Online, but that is being taken down at the end of the month. It is free though.


Not sure if it is 100% strategy, but Navyfield I would suggest.

most definitely. I play Warcraft 3 all the time and my old janky ass rig sucks.

edit: though it ain't free

Ya, it has to be free, i should have titled it that way (Thank you to the mod who did)

And, like I said, i want it to be RTS along the lines of a command and conquer game. I found one, but it was rely hard and was too sensitive.

I do have AoE2 and some red alert games, but, like I said, my PC is down. The rts games can't be that powerfull, because I'm using a really s***y school-issued mac right now. It needs to be in-browser because this mac can't download software...

What I would really like is just an online single player version of the original red alert.

If you don't mind the graphics, I suggest Shattered Galaxy.

It's an MMORTS and I haven't seen anything like it.

But the community is stagnating, though.

It SHOULD work on Intel-based Mac.
