If you have Warcraft 2, play that one. WC3 is nothing but WC2 with (really nice!!!) 3D graphics and an additional mission & characters pack. What did they do in all these years? If you have ever played TA: WC gameplay & interface is just not useable and hasn't been improved at all.
B&W can be fun but also very frustrating and disappointing. Depends on your patience and also whether you feel comfortable with the navigation. At some point, everybody will find it boring (the first miracle was so unspectacular, that I resigned right away), some people I know played 2 or 3 lands and then stopped.
Medal: If you're looking fo a shooter, this is definitely the way to go. Nice graphics, but levels are a bit hard sometimes.
RTCW: don't know.
Personally, I'd like to know what people have to say about Stronghold and MaxPayne?

Er... what? have you ever played Warcraft 3? Did you miss the whole thing I posted above about the Heroes? Show me the Heroes in Warcraft 2, would you?
You can't, because they weren't in WC2. WC3 is an entirely different animal because of that. They changed the focus from creating as many units as possible to creating a well integrated smaller fighting force with a couple heroes and giving the heroes not only completely unique abilities, but making them more powerful than the rest of the units in the game, and here's the important part: the heroes in WC3 are absolutely pivotal to winning battles. You can't do it without them, they're an integral and necessary part of WC3.
If you haven't realized that yet, then either you've never played WC3 or you haven't figured how to use the heroes yet and have been getting your ass kicked from here to Tokyo and back on Battlenet. Either way, you're wrong about WC2 being the same as WC3.

You are confused if you think WarCraft 3 is that similar to WarCraft 2. There are several new dimensions of gameplay in WarCraft 3.
Now, total annihilation was a neat game, but it wasn't that neat and the interface certainly didn't stick out in my mind. If it was such a great game you would think Cave Dog would still be in business.

TA was a good game, and sold well. From what I understand, though, the money simply wasn't managed well. Seems the actual publishers got the money, and Cave Dog barely saw enough to operate on. When the publishers got what they wanted, they killed the contract. CD has no publisher, and no money, so they go under. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

Wanna get it off your hands so it's not a total loss???
