If sc2 came out first, you have no idea what would have happened. | ||

More relevantly if we had had 10 years of SC2 patches and metagame improvement early SC1 AND the UI shittieness would make sc1 a nonstarter | ||

Dude did you hear about medics? xD On topic: daaamn i would whine. | ||

To address the OP, I doubt it would have turned into what BW turned into in korea. With things like no chat channels / LAN / making internet cafes pay $ to blizzard to run their game and so on it wouldn't have had a chance. That is disregarding the superior gameplay element all together. | ||

Boxing 100 unis compared to 12 And I agree with floor exercise. That's why I'm shocked that SC2BW hasn't really taken off. If you say.... remade Brood War but with the same easier mechanics as SC2 and minor balance tweaks to compensate for this, then you'd see a beautiful e-sport. | ||

That's because SC2BW is a random custom map on the SC2 engine and Brood War is Brood War. They are nowhere near the same thing. | ||
