I think it's time we all made the switch to SC2 While playing BW, I found it difficult to get into. The strategies were too complex, and I couldn't do what I really wanted to: focus on huge epic battles. This is supposed to be a war game, and I don't want to think about things like "Macro", "Build-orders", "Economy management", "etc". YAWN. BOOOOOOORING. Not to mention - the graphics of BW are so bad that they're unwatchable compared to the smooth realism of SC2. Furthermore, the explosions in BW are really small, and you can only select 12 units at a time. What if I want to select 13 units? The truth is, SC2 is just a better game overall and the switch is inevitable, seeing as how all the pros have already gone over to SC2. Sure, stupid critics like IdrA are saying things like "Okay, you're just insulting our intelligence now." but he's always complained ever since he started his career in BW. I want to address everyone's criticisms of SC2, so that they will see the light and switch games. After all, we all need to be on the same boat if we want ESPORTS to get off the ground and flying. 1. "The game basically plays itself and you just watch" WRONG. Just because you nostalgia-crazed fans can't get enough "Economy management" and "Micro" doesn't mean that the game "plays itself". A lot of the boring aspects that kept casual gamers from picking up StarCraft have been removed from the game, and now they can enjoy it more because they don't have think about ridiculous things like "Mineral-to-gas harvesting ratios". 2. "Good graphics don't make the game better than BW" Well, I disagree with this statement strongly. Games, historically, have advanced themselves in terms of their looks since their conception in 1895. Do you think Pong looks "good"? No. Pong looks like shit. The "ball" looks like an ice cube bouncing back and forth, being knocking around by two flying patio tiles. 3. "Battle.net 2.0 is actually Battle.net 0.2. Where are the buttons? Where are the chat channels? This sucks." I think that Battle.net 2.0 is brilliant. It removes the having to navigate around a clunky interface, and simply gives you what you want: games. Think about it: were the chat channels THAT great that you absolutely NEED them? There's plenty of community forums and third-party chat programs that you can use with your friends without annoying people spamming random shit in them. I personally like that all the Star Leagues are now making the switch to SC2 and getting over that old game. This will usher in a bright new future for ESPORTS with a game that really has a lot of potential. For those who say the skill cap isn't high enough, think about this: it took 20 years and over 450 patches to get BW balanced, and it's going to probably take as long for this game to get to be that great. SC2 has only been out for 2 years, and people are still being innovative. Imagine what would happen if Flash played SC2. He would probably Nuke the whole map in less than a minute. Imagine Jaedong covering the whole map with creep from queens. Think about Bisu warping in a Mothership just as a big "FU" to his opponent every game. The game has a lot of potential that has yet to be tapped, so you BW elitists need to stop blowing it off as an "inferior" game to yours. In conclusion, I would like to say that SC2 is a great game, and it needs to be given the chance it deserves. No, you can't play BW and SC2. You have to CHOOSE. You have to dump one completely and devote your life to the other. Frankly, I think you should devote your life to SC2. So do it. Do it now. Fixed it for you nina. I know its hard, but as long as people are playing BW, it isn't dead. | ||

You sound like you're dying. Well, there are 4 steps in your griefing of the move from bw to sc2: Denial: You can deny that things are shifting to SC2. You can pretend for the next 80 years we will watch brood war. You can deny that there *may* just be another awesome game like brood war which happens to be the sequel to the greatest game ever. Anger: It's perfectly fine to be angry. Brood war is what people have watched for 10 years. Taking away something you've known forever is tough, and accepting change is even tougher. Getting angry is OK. Depression: It'll be difficult, and you may become depressed. Many were when SC2 came out. People thought more than 12 unit selection would break everything, there'd be no skill, and the game would play itself. I myself thought exactly those things, and worse... Acceptance and Hope: After all of those sad negative uninformed opinions about SC2 were sapped from my body, and I learned to play it (and watch it) I started to like SC2. Why? Because it is fun, and it turns out when you take the time to learn it...it's pretty damn good. There's always a special place in every SC player's heart for brood war...but it's time to accept and move on. And as it happens to turn out...you can be a fan of both wings of liberty and brood war...because they are both starcraft...who would have thought! edit: to clarify, this is @ those people that specifically hate on SC2 without watching it, and blindly stick to bw. -_- those people are annoying. both games are c00 Well, first of all, I should say that I'm not telling or asking people to watch "my" game. I think SC2 should have it's own leagues, but that they should be separate from Proleague. Now, as far as BroodWar lasting forever goes: games don't die, but people do. People come and go, and therefore, both BW and SC2 communities will eventually be gone. If BroodWar truly actually "dies" as a community, I'm almost certainly not going to play SC2 as much as I play BroodWar now. The area where I think you may be in error is that you seem to be asserting that everyone who played BroodWar should follow the same route as you and eventually just come to love SC2. That just won't happen. Unfortunately, there's going to be a lot more bitterness than converts, and I see more people going over to games like LoL and DOTA2 rather than SC2, or even just going to play MMORPGs. | ||

The numbers don't mean anything anymore since SC23 introduced time travel and messed it all up. Brood War is actually SC100. | ||
