Hahaha

In Warcraft you could only select 9 units in one control group. In Starcraft you can select 12 units in one control group that is a 33% increase in selectable units. That is almost a 100% increase. Noobified.

I was expecting mentioning about SC having rally points, unit queuing and better pathfinding AI however.

Starcraft has autocasting....That is fucking insane.

LOL! I love that little pause before he concludes.

The characters fit really well too.
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

I don't get some of the comments here. It's not as if no one's brought this up before. There are certain arguments against it.

Hahaha, I laughed pretty hard. Kind of a good point behind it... haha.

I wonder if we'll be looking back after SC2 releases and laughing at our MBS/Automine worries. I sure hope so.

Awesome vid, I agree with the message I always felt people have been overreating to MBS/AutoMine. The new mechanics added to Starcraft after WC2 revolutionized rts.
cava!

Why didn't you post this when all the MBS debate began? Ok, maybe xtranormal didnt exist back then, but it would have saved us from a lot of mindless banter.

You would have gotten a ban then, the climate was extremely harsh for mbs supporters at that stage, almost everyone of them got banned if they tried to enter the discussions.

the map of romania was not intended, it's just part of the background

amazing as that sounds, i didn't plan that, and i didn't notice it until someone pointed it out here

Haha that was awesome. As a previous Warcraft II player, things work basically the same as Starcraft in terms of hotkeys/control groups/etc.. The main differences: F2-F4 will go to your Town Halls (in the order they were built if I recall correctly), you can only have groups of 9 as mentioned in the video and there are no rally points. It's pretty crazy to think the Starcraft alpha was built on the same engine as War2.
