RTS games just aren't as popular as they used to be Nowadays everybody is playing Moba games and dumbed-down shooters like CoD. I think SC2 is the only current RTS that has a notable player base. I can't even name any other modern RTS from the top of my head, if I'm honest :/ | ||

At the moment I'm a bit bored of SC2, so I thought I could give BW a late try but is there a realistic chance that I'll be actually able to enjoy it or will I just get crushed? In SC2 I play at low-mid masters level. If you think it's worth to give it a shot, where should I start? Thanks in advance. I've never played any others RTS before BW, and i started playing BW this year. Yet i find ppl worse than me on ICcup. | ||

There were some problems though. The Robot Race required like 3000 APM,t he Alien race required like 0 APM since they had giant basically SCII colossus that you built bases on, and the Greek Gods just turtled in a corner into a win... The only other RTS that was Brood War level watchable was Company of Heroes. Its getting a sequel now actually. | ||

Join clan sgs and if you have skype (thread is up somewhere), join the sgs skype group. Then just yell out to your clan with /c m to see if anyone wants a game. | ||
