The problem is, it wouldn't come out until the next millenium... :)

Looking at that seriously though, that wouldn't work and you know it. :) Only one developer can make a game... and IS has never made an RTS. Other strategy games yes, but not RTS... :) (I know, I know, thinking of it seriously isn't the point, but still...)
Quote:Wasn't C&C Renegade supposed to be a FPS played in an RTS world? You had all the units from the RTS game? StarCraft Ghost started out that way too.
Yeah... it ended up pretty much just being an FPS though, I think. There are, however, a few first-person RTSes -- Uprising, Battlezone (the late '90s one) and its sequel Battlezone 2. The idea didn't quite catch on, obviously, and I never really liked them, but the games have their fans... but they aren't on-foot games, you're first person in a vehicle.
...I could also mention Dungeon Keeper, but that game's first person mode is somewhat different. It's just for the combat part, not the strategy, and it's optional (though recommended at times, I'd say).
