I'm sure the best computer game in existence is worth playing.
For videos you can search for commentated FPVODs by Chill, Nony, Ahzz, Stylish, Oystein and others. You can just google "Name FPVOD" and get some helpful hits.
My recommendations for pre-playing:
1.) Find a friend or more online or otherwise to play with and talk to. Try searching for sGs on Teamliquid.
2.) Get hype. Watch things like Pimpest Plays, highlights of your favorite progamers, highlights of leagues, etc. to get your blood pumping. See NaDa kill Chojja with 1 vulture, Perfectman kill Iris with 1 reaver, Nony kill Idra with 1 probe.
For good games you can use Teamliquid search: "best games" in Brood War forum to find threads.
Thank you!  Going to start watching Vods now :D

Is it worth trying the greatest game of all time? Yes. Yes it is.

BW can bring you such joy beyond belief.
1. YES DL IT
2. Dont expect to win a lot at first. Its an incredibly hard game but is incredibly amazing. Also watch VODs from tourneys like GC to learn matchups and builds. Hitting up the strategy guides in Liquipedia is also a good idea.
3. Get ICCup launcher and maphack. Consider joining a D-Ranks team in DRTL for practice partners and a fun time.
made my smile :D
but yeah I know you mean mappack

I was thinking to myself that should I start playing and learning BW, but there's not that many people on iCCup and the skill level is so high that I think it would just be a heavy time sink to learn the game. I'll always remember BW as the fun loving game I had when I was 13 playing 2v2 with friends.
There are lots of people on ICCup still, and believe me, the skill level's not as high as you think. There are very bad players and very good players and everything inbetween.

It's not that hard to get started, with some RTS experience at least. You'll be dropping to D- at first but not too long and you can at least maintain D for most of the time, within 100 or so games that should be doable, if you spend some time reading up on the game too.
Just maybe stick to one matchup if you care about your score. Play a straightforward but not too risky build.
Or, just stop caring about the points too much and try out whatever you like, in order to get familiar with the units and micro in a less rigid way, and to discover which race is your fav to play.

If you are going to play protoss I suggest you remap your caps lock key to the letter p. That's what I did and it has worked exquisitely! And if you want to get good, remember to use the hotkeys and ctrl groups and screen positions from the start. It's great to start on the right path. Don't forget to tell your workers to go to the mineral patches :D !
I like this simple hotkey remapper!
Good luck, and enjoy!

Generally its for more skilled players

I gave up my life for Brood War. I now live in an alley and beg people for money to play BW. Worth it.

It's always worth it to play BW. I suggest playing BGH. It's a super fun casual mode that has not been (and probably will never be) replicated in SC2 due to the new mechanics.

I don't know what type of games you are playing, but when I play bgh it is cut-throat and frustrating. Trying to hold off a triple 9 pool is not for the faint of heart

Ever been 5pooled by the Z farthest away from you, 6pooled by the Z 2nd farthest, and then 9pooled by the Z Closest? And with some nice marine support from the single T in the 4v4. And your whole team is PPPT(You P). Yeah.... not fun. =_(

It appears that I'm actually late to the party, but yeah try it out for sure! It's pretty easy to get it on your comp, it should run without any hitches, and it'll be fun, I promise :D
Pretty steep learning curve though, gotta say.
|
sorry to crush all your prior impressions on bw but the party is still rolling on never too late to join!
+ Show Spoiler +theres still plenty of amature content out of kespa.. only way its gonna keep goin is if we keep goin
|
Its always worth is but make ready to lose a lot at first. But you will get better and it will feel very satisfying.
|
It's only the best game ever. If i weren't overwhelmed with work and university I'd be very much playing it 8+ hours a day.
The community is awesome, op teamliquid is awesome, obsing games is awesome and 99% of the players are committed to it. I can honestly say it's the only game in which I've enjoyed having my ass handed to me because there's always something to learn.

I would direct you to stylish fpvods even for non terran players he pretty much cover everything that is fundamental in broodwar . Your build orders,macro,strategy and many more thank god for stylish where would I be without his guidance .

p.s Terran is the best race in broodwar you will never regret watching your tanks steam rolling your opponent and them rage quiting because they suicided tons of their units and yet did nothing .

BW is so worth playing. It will be the most difficult game you have ever played and you will be glad to have played it.
|
you should join sGs, thats where all us noobs hang out. Most of us are like D- to D+ so its about your skill level
