much higher skill level online.

Thats def true, especially if you come up against some Korean Starcraft fanatic. It might as well be their national game they are so into it.

Because it's very popular there. They regularly have televised StarCraft tournaments and earn up to $300,000 a year playing SC.

Gimme $300,000 a year and I'll play any game you want me too! :D

Because they have nothign better to do :P

Nah loads of 24/7 LAN cafe's there and well if it's there to use they will use it. I would.
 
kreeeee, im sure youll be delighted to hear that ive purchased starcraft with expansion for a tenner from the purple 4 letter store.

I used to play it a fair bit but then i lost the cd and slowly forgot about it. Ill give it an install tonight. Could you point out anything usefull in the line of patches, AI fixes (to make them not stupid etc) I havent got a net connection at home yet though

The majority if not all of the staff that worked on SC are no longer with Blizzard so I have very low hopes, especially after the god aweful WarCraft III.

What the hell is your problem with Warcraft 3? Seriously i want to know, show me some reasons rather than constantly berating it.

'Omg its not exactly like the original, kill it with fire'

A patch was released a few days ago so just pop online with the game to update it. Get the WGTour map pack (www.wgtour.com) for the best balanced maps and get playing!

- Very slow pace
- Poor "Hero" concept
- very unresponsive compared to any other blizzard RTS
- Poor skill onine, people are far too easy to beat when I played
- Poor balance that swings too and fro with each patch
- Crippling online community of 14 year old
- lack of useful diversity in the units

It's not a terrible game, it just doesn't come anywhere near any of blizzards past RTS games, very much the same reason why generals appears **** poor too.

- How you can comment on the pace next to SC i have no idea! SC takes just as long if not longer to set up as any other RTS does
- Surely you must know about http://www.dota-allstars.com/? It just proves that the hero concept can work.
- Responsiveness? I have no idea what you mean by that
- Nothing to do with the game that is it
- Again not really to do with the game, and not something i have noticed. Patches are designed to fix things and make the balance fairer.
- Again nothing to do with the game
- Well that entirely depends how you play it :)

The most annoying thing in any RTS i find is stupid unit caps, and it seems they are all guilty of that. I can understand it 10 years ago when the machines couldnt handle anymore but now its just stupid.

Yes, have a quick browse around www.blizzard.com in the starcraft section. Should be on the starcraft front page.

Edit: The campaigns are numbered 1-6 (3 SC, 3BW) so install BW straight away but go through the missions in order.

I knew you were going to go into this crap about points and counterpoints so take it to email instead of crapping on this thread.

Just try play both games to a high level (no, not that UMS dota you harp on about, those "heroes" were done in SC UMS ages ago) it really highlights WC3s glaring weaknesses.
