The game developers deliberately limited the size of control groups for strategic purposes.
Warcraft 3 was released at 2003 with the same concept in mind. that's why this will not be changed.

I was really scared that Blizzard would screw this up majorly, but if they keep their word they managed to make this as good as possible. Oh my god. Imagine the change this could have. TvZ: valks can be used reliably to get air dominance, similar to corsairs in PvZ. TvP: mass valks will actually be a counter to carriers. Imagine the interceptors all dying to some valks in the blink of an eye. TvT: mass BCs and mass Wraiths in the late game are basically nerfed. Maybe players will opt for BCs over Wraiths more since Wraiths are more fragile You'll still be able to do BC and Wraith just like usual, it wasnt super uncommon to see 3-4 valks mixed in regardless. If you mass valks vs carriers you're going to lose lmao, you're suddenly stuck with a lot of supply that does absolutely nothing TvZ some valks were used at times but not super extensively i think
Correct me if i'm wrong here but valks are explosive damage.They're pretty damn lousy against heavily armored capital ships but are good against light units like mutalisks and wraiths.Like i said before they have won me a couple of games in TVT against wraiths but they can still get picked off quick by cloaked wraiths focus firing if you're caught off guard or the opponent has spaced his wraiths out well.
.They're pricey and in TvZ you're better off spending those resources on vessels.The bug fix won't make much difference to how much the valkyrie is used.

Its funny how they promote gorgeous 4k ultra HD graphics, when even retard can see models are drawn lazy, blurred and without details. Blizzard did shitty job again... Maybe they need to stop ruining starcraft 1 once and for all.

It might make TVT air battles in the late game braindead. in that case, the sprite bug should be reintroduced.

MY LIFE FOR AIUR!
Time to see if I can get better at BW again, so excited!

You just proved you never played it and you are disappointed that the changes are mostly for ppl who are actually playing the game rather than those who only complain about it.
I played the game 10-15 years ago for the first time and I already didnt't like that.

I know why they want to keep it but I don't see why there shouldn't be an OPTIONAL second mode where only players who are using that mode play against each other with easier UI handling. If people want an influx of new competitive players
something needs to be done to make it easier to get into the game because most people already find SC2 too much of a hassle to control.

The good thing is that we actually don't need to switch if you we don't like it. Because of cross-compability, and free BW we can simply stick to good old BW, but with matchmaking and no lag

On a 4k 16 screen, I'll take the remake. Especially if it actually works properly rather than crashing, graphical glitches, etc.
640x480 is just too much of a burden.
And besides, BW was never about the graphics, although they were clean and easily identifiable, which is important.
Unless it's difficult to see what's going on, which the screenshots I've seen don't lead me to believe it will be, there's no problem.
It's like, who cares what chess pieces look like as long as they're easily identifiable?

Matchmaking is sooooooooo welcome. Is this part of the free patch as well?
|
I'm actually excited for this! Unpopular opinion probably but I was hoping for sim city adjacent buildings to be considered a wall just cuz it's a hassle to memorize that per map but that says more about my lazy self than anything. Great to see this support for BW (too little too late? better late than never)

I got a couple of nice ideas for my hotkey setup.

any 4K HD game/movie looks shit on 23" monitor, you already said the reasons, because 23" is too small for 4K HD.
If you still don't believe that. pick any 4k HD picture, use the program "paint", try to make that picture smaller (from 100% to 50%).

From what I understood, it is basically the same game. The "HD" graphics update is payed only. So you can play HD vs Non HD or even switch graphics mode within the game with a single button click according to the interview.

Vulture and wraiths patrol micro with 'W', siege tank mode with 'E'. that sounds pretty broken to me XD.

Not ready for this, what this game still evokes emotionally within me is just staggering. Been a part of my life for 20+ years now and has dominated my gaming experience throughout.

They should just give people a 5% ladder point boosts if they play with original keybinds instead of customized :D

You mean blizzard made this game only for 23+ monitors and on their screen graphics looks non blurred and unexisting details start to appear? I doubt that. The good thing is as duke91 said its cross compatable so i can enjoy the starcraft that i like.
