Any good free RTS games on Steam?

[nepex]

Pretty much what the title says. Any games like SC2, C&C, etc? I know those aren't similar but I'm looking for something of that caliber. It seems MMOs, FPS, and hybrids all have their free counterparts. So where are the good free RTS?

[ACJCLIGHTNING]

On steam? None that I can really think of that are all that good.
Outside of steam there are quite a few that are free, including that remake of the Red Alert series and various mods for other games.
Theres also Starcraft 2 starter edition, which has quite alot of features for a starter edition.

Come to think of it, the above-mentioned genres (MMO & FPS games in particular) have always had many F2P versions (non-Steam).

I can't really think of any free RTS games to begin with.

I can think of quite a few, but most are
A) Very Old
B) Fan made remakes
C) Complete ♥♥♥♥
or D) Mods of different games(Theres a RTS mod for Half life 2 even)

What ever happened to End Of Nations by Petroglyph? That game fell off the face of the earth, but that is supposed to be a Free2Play RTS/Moba Hybrid and was looking to play alot like World in Conflict(One of the best RTSs of all time IMO).

Thats all I can think of coming out.
Sins of a Dark age was originally an RTS Moba Hybrid, but basically changed to being a pure Moba now.

So yeah, really not much. What have you played so far OP? maybe I can find something free to recomend.

As far as free goes, Age of Empires Online is the only one I've found that I've wanted to invest more than a couple hours in. I've always loved the Command and Conquer and LotR: Battle for Middle Earth series. Although, I doubt anything free will come close to that. I'm just looking for something to suffice since I can't afford anything right now.

All the other free RTS I've tried look like a Win95 game or something - I'd really like something fairly up-to-date.

Bump - still looking. Also, it doesn't have to be on Steam.

The original starcraft is free on the blizzard website. Just find it on the starcraft page.

Not on Steam, buy 0 AD is pretty decent if you were an AOE fan.
