That game was amazing, and I love the map. Also, Hiya just earned a new fan (probably not just one.)

I really do wish they kept SC2 2d. 3d games by default are slower/clunkier than 2d games. That''s just the way I feel anyway.

On topic : AMAZING GAME. God.... I was like squirming with excitement.

Some people (like chill) loves and comes buckets when they see player macro like a monster. I understand that. i know some mates who looooove seeing army dying only to have two dozen more coming. Isnt that awesome! player can make army faster! that is sooo exciting and impressive.

However for me, this game is definitely awesome in my book. Hiya did everything you shoudnt do in a real tvp game. air upgrades. wraiths. cloak upgrades. ghosts. nukes. lockdown.

It went fine.....until he suicided a dozen wraiths in his own nuke. I think he could have easily tipped the game otherwise.

In fact, most people don't care about wether sc2 is an inferior or a superior game, they just play it because it's new. They simply don't ask themselves the question, or ignore it consciously. On top of that, you have some admins and respected bw players who have very personnal interests in promoting the new game as hard as possible.

In the end, some people refuse to state the obvious, and often summarize bw superiority as a 12 years development advantage. Eventhough this point is partially valid, it blindly ignores a lot of issues which have already been raised (which is really bad for the new game).

It's not too surprising you can't create this kind of topic on the SC2 forum.

Thanks for the awesome game, though.

In SC2 hiya so would have won. Wouldn't have had to wait for 6wraiths to 1 shot a worker, just make 2 banshees and gg. But they don't have moving shot so if the toss flipped his coin right and guessed for air he would have won. A borefest of a game decided by guessing.

It's refreshing to see broodwar games because they remind you how mechanics used to matter. Can't just make 5 air units and micro them for 5 minutes while sucking at macro like in some *other* unnamed game.

Thing is free had a good counter build against what hiya did. But micro and moving shot allowed hiya to even out the odds. Imagine if wraiths instead behaved like banshees. Boooooring...

Yeah I suppose people who haven't had a chance to try SC2 can get a good idea of how micro feels like by player a UMS of mass valkyries vs mass scouts in Broodwar

bw better visuals than sc2? cmon guys i can feel your romantic glorification of bw and the good old days, but claiming that is going a little bit overboard. basically what you have in sc2 is metzen with 12 years more experience. sc2 is beautiful, stop making bw or chess comparisons.

in bw it was all about your imagination since units were so utterly pixelated. have you ever taken a glance at the sc2 artwork, the color concepts and stuff, no go look up sc1 artwork and tell me its better.

nice game though. those were the good old days, now its the good new days! why always braggin about how bw is so much better, when after 12 or 11 years you finally get the chance to have a new experience. sry ppl of sc1, im just a newb who is tired of TLs uni sono SC2 negativism.

Amazing game. Not only was that lockdown an inhuman feat of timing, but the observer caught it perfectly: showing the recall animation on Free's troops half a second before flashing to the locked down arbiter. Truly incredible.

Bigger maps (and thus longer games). Thats what would make SC2 better. It would be even easier to balance the game on bigger maps IMO, cause you know, build time of units, small difference in stats, such things wont matter that much (and also if i could fast expand easier, i could have more scans ).

Brood War even has better graphics than SC2

Ok I love Broodwar, I really do, but u might wanna reconsider what u said, cuz clearly thats not a true statement. Anyways, to be honest I still find Broodwar a lot more fun to watch and play than SC2. For some reason Sc2 looks "wierd", I mean dont get me wrong Im not saying that Sc2 isnt worth playing but its simple not how I thought it would be. But then again this could be just because Im not feeling as comfortable playing it as I did when playing the Almighty Broodwar.
