There's still some stuff going on, but it's quite dead yeah. In the broader scope of RTS games you still have stuff like Age of Empires 4 and Beyond all Reason, both of which I find a lot of fun. But neither are really much like C&C. What is like C&C is Tempest Rising, which is currently under development. I played the demo and it did feel very C&C like, which is good, but time will tell how polished it will be on release.

Worth noting: Beyond All Reason is FOSS and a really good Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander type of game.

You can also try Zero-K for something with less flashy graphics and more unit customization, also FOSS.

Oh, and before I forget, 0 A.D. if you're more into an Age of Empires type of RTS, another great FOSS RTS.

Oh awesome, I haven't checked the other 2 out yet. Thanks for the suggestions!

Not OP, but I hadn't heard of Tempest Rising before! I'll have to keep an eye on that, thanks for mentioning it!
