Fact: Fewer people play BW than before.

It's unfortunate, but it's not the end of BW.

Personally, I feel that finally I have reached a deeper understanding of BW. The timings, the resources, the units, etc. It's an understanding borne out of years and years of experience, and this newfound realization is a huge motivator to continue honing my skills.

So basically, you can look forward to my Zerg stream.

I'm personally quite a bit disappointed/sad that people like Day[9] or Artosis, no matter how amazing they have been and still are for the community, have apparently completely forgotten about BW, and keep referring to it as "the old Starcraft".

This does rankle.
My strategy is to fork people.

I imagine that the hardcore fans of Brood War will come back and keep playing. However, the vast majority that are casual fans will play SCII.

It doesn't help that Brood War is not Window 7 compatible either. I am experiencing color corruption issues with it since patch 1.6.


huh? i play BW on windows 7 all the time with no problems!


Are you using 64 bit?

I am not the only person who is having this problem either...I can play it, yes. But the interface and water colors are all messed up.

Download that, unzip, add 64 bit registry key for Starcraft. Make sure your Starcraft version is 1.16. Colour problems solved.

I've never been one to play Brood War because I'm really bad at it and don't have the will to improve. With that said, I still watch 90% of the Korean events, and have a strong passion for spectating. I was playing the BW campaign to prep myself for SCII, and now I'm playing the SCII campaign. Once I'm finished with it, I might try it on the next difficulty up, but it will probably just remained installed on my computer without seeing any use while I play other things/watch BW.

yes, i installed starcraft 2 this morning played 1 campaign mission and some challenges and logged off to play some BW. Got a bit bored of sc2 multiplayer througout beta, I'm fairly certain I'll be playing more BW than sc2 for awhile.

I tell you one thing. Since my wifi at home sucks, I got to go to school everytime I watch the ProLeague. It is 1 hour sooner here than korea, so for matches at 6pm, I might have to stay till 10-11pm in a damn cottage at school. But I don't mind it, I still do.
I'm sharing the wifi at home, which I told u, sucks. It only allows me to play 1on1, no more 3v3 Hunters, so I do iccup only (but I'm only D/D-). So again, I bring my laptop to school, sitting alone in that fucking cottage and play 3v3 with my friends at weekends. Lame hah? But I still do.
I did play SC2 beta and with high hopes of being something special like SC2. But now I see it, as I recall someone said it at TL: SC2 is just gonna last till WC4. Other than the storyline, the characters that I feel close to, it is completely disappointed me. So I stop playing it, and I still don't.
Was so eager to buy 1 when heard of the news that SC2 will soon come out. But now, it is just "some other" game. I'll stick with my BW, at least till my daughter can play it.
Life is a game, and when things dont work out, dont unplug, just reset and restart from last checkpoint.

I stopped playing BW a while ago and was just following the pro scene. I'm going to keep following the pro scene. I'm gonna get SC2 and will play through the campaign and perhaps have some fun with friends...

But I don't think it's a piece of shit compared to BW. SC2 will never be as good as BW.

Im with Stryker. I won't stop playing bw - infact as long as I can find games on iccup (seems like the best time right now is during korean hours) I will continue playing. Since there aren't going to be many tournaments.. Or maybe there will be when people realize how lame sc2 is.. My goal is A or A+ on iccup vs koreans. Should be fun.

I still like BW a lot more as a game.
Granted, I havn't given SC2 the chance it deserves, so I'll try the game out more. But I still really love BW and will continue to play it.

I just wish people would stop saying that BW is old and clunky and played out or whatever. That simply isn't true! BW is still a really beautiful game, so it really saddens me when people say that. I wish equally as much people who don't really play or haven't played BW to give it as much of a shot that I'll be willing to give SC2. I mean, you're really not limited to one choice.

As PoP said, I wish Artosis and Day[9] don't just write off BW. It still exists! It's still exciting! I understand that they want to hype SC2, but can't they hype just Starcraft in general? Please don't do it at the expensive of BW, it makes me wanna cry T_T.

I wish that ideally both communities will continue, or that one could help the other. But that still doesn't stop me from fearing the worst.
