I've  been a  fan  of  rts  games  for  quite some time  with the  likes  of  Age  of  Empires 2, Rome:Total War, Starcraft, and Cossacks:European  Wars  but,  nowadays,   I  seem to  see a shift  more towards  FPS  games  which,  is  not  a  bad thing  but, I'd  hope  that  developers and  designers as  such  would try to  keep  being  innovative and  release  rts  games that  are  revolutionary atleast  in terms  of  gameplay  as  such.. Anyways, that's  my  mere  opinion  on this  feel  free  to  suggest  your  own thoughts..  
 
 

tried supreme commander? company of heroes? World in conflict? all of them great, all of them RTS (all great imho anyway )

Same boat as you, tried SupCom (don't like), never tried WiC or CoH (not really into ww2/ww1 etc)
 
Did you play c&c3, there's nothing new, but atleast it ain't Generals lol..
 
I just got the expansion, Kane's Wrath, and it's pretty fun.  You're seeing the events as CABAL/LEGION (CABAL from Tiberiun Sun/Firestorm), I just awoke my Cyborg army WOOOOOOOOO!  The missions have been great, some being you playing the opposite side of what you did in C&C3 as GDI (actually help the GDI unknowingly, and start the Scrin invasion as Kane sorta planned).
