I'm looking for a (preferrably free) online game that is like starcraft 2. I've recently been looking for a change of pace, and being the cheap kind of guy I am, I don't really like the idea of spending 60$ on a game i'll probably play for just a month or 2. Any ideas???
Warcraft III is very good. Costs money, but only around $30.
Anyway, I suggest you get SC2. It will last you more than a couple weeks, I guarantee you.
Anyway I can say that Supreme Commander 2 is garbage. No flowing economy, everything has been dumbed down to flow along the mainstream river also everything looks like lego/toys?
Actually, they changed the way the economy works in SupCom 2 (a bit). Now you only pay for things when you begin building them, not when you queue them up. I still find SupCom 1's economy much more elegant, but the change to SupCom 2 makes it more playable.
A good free RTS is Company of Heroes Online, currently in beta, you could keep an eye on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_of_Heroes_Online

You can't guarantee that at all.
