i liked ra over sc never finished it

I've never played SC single player, you can't "strategise" against predictable scripts and routines.

Times move on if they don't do a good job of sc2 people will say as a lot of rts people didn't play rts when sc was about , i am right in thinking the big following of sc is in asia.

It's the biggest RTS in every continent iirc.

SC is still about and is STILL the most popular.

The community behind SC1 are directly shaping SC2 as blizzard are taking on board advice and criticisms from the community and being very open about its development. They've waited this long for a sequel because they can't afford to screw up and tarnish SC's name. The SC1 community are the most pessimistic about SC2 but even they are starting to change their opinions.

We're on about games and not series right? SC sales and online player numbers severely dwarfs C&C 3.

Looking at that pc not that far behind the 360 and top games it sells more off
yes i was talking about the series really as i look at it as a whole, i thought the 360 and ps3 sales would be more

queamin · 24 Aug 2007 at 23:19

thought sc was earier than 1998

queamin · 24 Aug 2007 at 23:21

It was technically inferior to the competition (TA etc) at launch, just like SC2 will be. It's to ensure that it can be played on nearly all machines at launch and handle very large scale battles.

Well SC isn't a series yet, so it's StarCrafts 1 game selling 9.5 million compared to C&C 1, 2, 3, RA 1, 2, and renegade plus all expansions selling 25 million. Pretty god damn good for SC I'd say!

That might be why at the time our lan was playing ra2 and Ta and sc never got a look in really, like i said i play the single player missions first then mp and with sc i never finshed them cannot remember why, i think i was into quake 2 at the time with my voodoo 1 and 2

I wonder if most of Britain as as uncompetitive

The UK seems to be the only place where gamers haven't really heard of SC
