Ive recently played through sc, sc:fa and sc2 and out of the 3 games sc2 is poor, sc and sc:fa are just amazing games. Sc2 just feels like a horrible console port.

when i first picked this up i felt the same, it wasn't as good as sup com + fa. i recently picked up the dlc in the sales and played it a bit more and the feeling still persists. It is a different game, it's quicker, simpler and designed to get the experimentals out as quickly as possible. research gives you the option to specialise though in reality as you get further into the game you unlock pretty much everything anyway.
it's ok though and can help pass half an hour

For the £2.49 I paid for this I can live with it being dumbed down, will give it a go once I've downloaded it this weekend - 4 day weekend!
Also grabbed the DLC for like £1.50 extra so can't complain!

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Much prefer it to StarCraft 2 for multi player. Though the single player in StarCraft 2 is admittedly much better.
I am up for some games online anyone is interested.

Going to try the demo I guess. Don't think I'll like it considering most of my fave features from the original were removed.

The only good thing about SC2 is that it doesn't take itself too seriously, some of the new experimantals are just awesome. The unit cannon, for instance, just having a couple of those to constantly reinforce your front line by firing in new tanks. The DLC does help with this, though I only have the game as I snatched up the S-E pack in the sale for cheap.

SC2 is utter crap, plain and simple. Chris Taylor strayed so far away from the SC/FA formula of old that SC2 is a totally different game altogether.
Experimentals have been butchered totally and split into Minor and Major Experimentals but even the latter ones are rubbish or overpowered. They're so poor that the DLC on steam now adds the Monkey Lord to the game just to tempt gamers to play.
The visuals are dreadful, completely dreadful. There is just no detail on the models at all vs the gorgeous models in SC/FA. If you zoom out of your base, you just see blobs of units, which are hard to make out. There just isn't any detail to the game if you look at SC/FA. Its sad.
Chris Taylor hired the AI chap who wrote the SorianAI mods for Forged Alliance to do the AI for SC2 except there isn't any full stop for Skirmish games. The AI doesn't probe your base, it just sends tons of air at you, followed by random land units.
The research system for the game is sound, as is the resource/mass gathering.
SP mode is ok, but as crap as it is in SC/FA overall. Not tried Multi as I couldn't even find anyone who wanted to play it back during release.
I did buy the DLC pack during the Christmas sales as it was about £3 or so because I was drunk (even bought the mafia dlc
) Not tried it yet though. Tbh, the game isn't even worth the space on your hard disk. Just get forged alliance instead.

The ones who say they don't like it are the ones comparing it to the first game.
Only thing I don't like is, not enough people online to play with. For example in StarCraft 2 it's much easier to get a game online. The online community for that is probably 100-1000 times bigger. lol
