Yeah I pretty much agree with this, there's a slight element of nostalgia perhaps since I first played the game when I was 12 but at the same time I genuinely feel that BW is superior to SC2 in pretty much every aspect.


Sc2 has better graphics .

True but I still think BW is more pleasing to the eye ^^

Blue soup.

BW is also more pleasing to the ear with marines dying in BW sounding so gratifying, zealot attack/grunt, unit sounds in general (SC2 zerg sounds like your grandma is telling you your hatchery is under attack), as well as music (BW>SC2, especially w/ BW terran)
Math doesn't kill champions and neither do wards

I don't see the problem. If you like BW more in every aspect, why does SC2 bother you at all?


a little frustrating to see great foreign players of the best rts game go to a worse rts game. sure, more attention and money is being put into sc2 than bw in the foreign scene but lots of ppl would rather that attention and money be put into a better game.

Sc2 has better graphics .



BW has better aesthetics though, and when gamers talk about good, or beautiful "Graphics" they usually mean aesthetics.

High resolution textures and poly count a beautiful game does not make.

Reference material:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/extra-credits/3201-Graphics-vs-Aesthetics

Wow, there's a Chopin Piano concerto in the link (just a few notes)
Everyone was excited about the sc2 graphics in the beginning of beta stage. I was quite surprised though, because the aesthetics was so childish and confusing and shapes so round. I have already got used to it. Just wanted to write how my first impression was.

Honestly I'm pretty sure I'm being overly expectant of starcraft 2, broodwar was already out when I discovered it in the battle chest double box as well, I think I would have been about...12 or 13 So about the age when anything you like gets ingrained into your brain as law But yeah I've not turned my back on starcraft 2 I'm in it for the long run though I need to find more people I know that play - or will watch tournaments together over skype (Trying out day9's advice)

Which is why sc2bw is a kickass custom map :D

Seriously though, sc2bw is what i wish both SC2 and BW was - BW with sc2 graphics and interface

If i could, i would 100% rather be playing that than sc2 but oh well
