    I guess this is nice for nostalgic value, but where is new, modern real time strategy games like this? It’s been a very long time since anything new existed.

      There’s still some stuff going on, but it’s quite dead yeah. In the broader scope of RTS games you still have stuff like Age of Empires 4 and Beyond all Reason, both of which I find a lot of fun. But neither are really much like C&C. What is like C&C is Tempest Rising, which is currently under development. I played the demo and it did feel very C&C like, which is good, but time will tell how polished it will be on release.

        Worth noting: Beyond All Reason is FOSS and a really good Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander type of game.

        You can also try Zero-K for something with less flashy graphics and more unit customization, also FOSS.

        Oh, and before I forget, 0 A.D. if you’re more into an Age of Empires type of RTS, another great FOSS RTS.
