Am I the only one who sucks at Multiplayer RTS games.

Seriously?,
Is It just me or is there some specific type of person who can play RTS games competitively, mind you i love Warcraft 3 to death but am absolute rubbish at multiplayer for that game or any other RTS.

I wouldn't say I'm bad at video games in general. I would say I am at least average. With that said, I can barely beat stupid computers at StarCraft. I am just horrid at micromanaging at the speed it demands. I always get out produced.

NOPE

I suck major ass at these games. The only PC games I have ever bought were Warcraft 3 and Dawn of War [edit: actually, no, but the others aren't worth mentioning], and yet whenever I played with friends or anyone I would get my ass handed to me pretty easily. Used to play Command and Conquer and Age of Empires with a friend at his house too, but just couldn't get my head around things. :/

You're definitely not alone. Best I can do is turtle like fuck and hope whoever I'm playing against doesn't know the 1337 stratz.

Ditto. I am shit, but have recently gotten into Company of heroes and am loving it.

I remember when I got Warcraft III and could not ever win online, I've been disheartened ever since.

Good grief, no! I love the strategy part--it's the REAL-TIME part that always trips me up. It's hard enough  trying to learn, single player, while at the same time, the game is doing it's best to kick your ass.

I suck at RTS games full stop. Even more so when playing real players who know all sorts of tech tree build strategies.

NO

No, I'm an all-round gamer, decent at all genres with a few exceptions.

I was okish at Company of Heroes but I am awful at C&C

I love playing single player RTS games, but I am pitiful when it goes to multiplayer. I only played those custom rule maps on Starcraft, back in the day.

I'm terrible at RTS games. I would have to say that it is by far the biggest hole in my "gamer resume".

This is the part where I say that having a thread title with the phrase "Am I the only one?" is idiotic. Of course more people than you suck at RTS games. Like me. I can beat my friends, but that's about it. If I actually went on Battle.Net I would get trounced.

I'm okay at multiplayer RTS games, but not good.

I'm alright, I got pretty decent at Company of Heroes and SupCom. I'm sure there is a specific kind of person that can get really good at RTS, but there's no reason why anyone else can't get good, you just need lots of practice.

I LOVE C&C but I'm absolutley horrible at that game. I'm decent at Age of Empires 3 but that game gets old fast.

no, i just suck at RTS games. i don't like them really at all either.

I usually end up playing RTS games for the first 2 - 4 weeks of release.  After that, I don't usually care for them.  I don't know why.

I all ways practice alot with my friend chris but thats just our games where we have unwritten rules of 15-20 minutes of no combat so we can build our defenses and armies up.

NO. I just don't have the patience to really learn RTS games. I get good at maybe one or two build orders and strategies and that's the extent of my power.

I used to be pretty good at Age of Mythology (My rating was around 1700)

Just remember one thing, there will always be someone better than you and me in every online game.

:D

The only one I was good at was the old Dawn of War.
In every single other RTS, I suck... I think it may have something to do with the fact that my bases are really neat and nice looking (not stacking buildings together or too far apart).

The only two RTSs I was ever "good" at were StarCraft and Age of Empires 2, and even then I could barely hang with decent online players (note that this is past tense. If I were to try to play either of those games online today I wouldn't last very long). My main problem with RTSs these days is that there's too much emphasis on rushing or action. I was way more into base building then rushing.

I'm horrible at them.  I just don't get it, and I don't want to spend the time it takes to learn.  I'm satisfied with controlling one unit in an FPS game.

I'm pretty awesome at DOW, but you know that already Ferg.

I am really bad at every RTS game online besides Halo Wars.

I would consider myself a casual RTS player in that I just play for fun. I think if you really wanted to get good at Starcraft or whatever you would have to invest time in it like anything else to get good at it. For the majority of players it doesn't come naturally.

No, Im horrible at them to the point where I go "WHAT?"
