PC Gamer was the first to review Tiberium Wars and gave it a very nice 90% (an editors choice award. For them, an 80% is still considered 'excellent'). Their complaints were a slightly tacked on alien campaign and action which eschews thoughtful strategizing and returns to the framtic rush strategies of earlier games in the series. All in all they had very good things to say though which is very exciting. It's a good year for RTSs. I agree with tartar, I felt Rise of Nations is better than all the C&C games. Red Alert 2 is my choice for best C&C game. For me though, no RTS has ever surpassed Age of Empires 2 and the Conquerors expansion.

elcapitan:
C&C, by far and away. ("Tiberian Dawn" if you like.) RA was a lot of fun, but for sheer awesomeness when it was released, you simply can't go past C&C.

Also, my favourite RTS to date is a toss-up between Warcraft III, Age of Mythology and Dawn of War.

I'm throwing Company of Heroes into the mix Cappy.

Red Alert 2 was my favourite! I always liked some of the final missions for both the Allies and Soviets as they became particularly challenging such as the Allied mission where you are transported in using the Chronosphere!

The feature where you can create new characters with your spies and by taking over their an apposing base was great cos you was able to create Uri Prime, Chrono Ivan, PSI Uri and Chrono Navy Seals.

I played C&C Renegade not long after it originally came out and its a first person shooter, completely different type of game  and it was just too easy to complete.

I have to admit since C&C and C&C Red Alert i have yet to come across a set of missions that really challenge you! I like the idea of Tiberium Wars where the  AI can be changed to attack in certain ways or to use completely random combinations of attacks cos originally you could pretty much guess how you would be attacked on other games!

I always thought the lack of strategy was the best thing about Westwood games. It's what they do and it's what they do best. I like my RTS to be simple. Damn, I'm so excited about the new C&C.

Anyway, my favourite game would be a tie between Tiberium Sun, RA2 and Yuri's Revenge. Tiberium Sun does have an incredibly atmosphere, RA2 has great unit balance (almost as good as Starcraft) and Yuri's REvenge is nice stupid fun, though it's a real shame you can't play Yuri in missions. If pushed, I'd say RA2 is my favourite.
