    Command & Conquer released 2 months before Warcraft 2.

    Dune was the genesis of the RTS and while command and conquer was fun it ultimately lost out to Warcraft / StarCraft

      No one is arguing which game came out first. I didn’t say C&C was the first game. I said C&C was the first one to nail the modern RTS format, and because of that I think Dune 2000 is a less irritating game to play from a modern perspective than Dune 2.

        And I’m simply stating otherwise.

        C&C came after Warcraft and released effectively alongside Warcraft 2 which I would personally argue was the best rts entry at the time.

        And given that the Warcraft/starcraft franchise lasted and command and conquer died off I’d personally argue that history points that way also but again, just my opinion.
