Well... I can't really get new friends, considering I'm on a tiny college and these are the guys I get to play games with. We do play BW as well (and intend to play SC2 next fall) but a number of them prefer BFME2. I can't play online too much either, since it's a 15 minute walk to a place with slow internet that doesn't block SC (as to them opening port 6112, probably won't happen).
If anyone can roll out actual game statistics, that would be awesome.
check out the Liquipedia, you'll find out... everything about BW

Show them this thread LOL

I looked up the wikipedia articles first, lol. I can't seem to find the number of sales for BFME2 though, is there any way to figure that out?
And please stop with the "ur friends are retards" posts, that not only doesn't help the argument but there is a possibility of them seeing this thread and then it'll hurt your credibility.

"93% of Russia's population plays the game"
ROFL oh man that is just hilarious on so many levels

It says BFME2 was 10th best selling game that year or something like that, which means it was nowhere close to real big sellers lol.

That answers your question sir

Why not just show them Team Liquid? The site literally tells almost every secret of StarCraft. South Korea should be an obvious answer to how popular StarCraft is. WCG is too...
Nameable players around the world. No strategy in StarCraft? I don't ever remember BME2 being very strategic at all with the limited choices of units. Let alone the game itself is practically dead in my opinion...
I think you're friends are morons and may living under an electronic rock. That or they are hardcore LOTR fans that don't like sci-fi.

They claim that Starcraft was never really that big for a long time, both to the general population and to the gaming population; that Starcraft and the RTS genre in general didn't really get big until BFME2 came out. They claimed that over 70 million people play BFME2 rise of the witch king currently, with multimillion dollar tournaments, and that 93% of Russia's population plays the game.
Edit: Actual facts would be very helpful.
okay if that isnt obvious BS i dont know wut is

"93% of Russia's population plays the game"
That's interesting. Over 10 million people, in Russia alone, play BFME2. Guys, I think we are playing the wrong RTS. Let's all switch over immediately, considering how factual this data is.
They also have million dollar tournaments! God, what did Flash make in the OSL last season? 40k? Wow, starcraft is such a chump RTS.
Installing now.

I actually played it with my friends, it is.. nice, but certainly not competitive.
Dominated them after a few tries, heroes and abilities are game breakers as well as some units.
|
one argument about popularity: google both. sc gets about 21 mil, bfme2 around 3 mil... even asuming that sc2 has around 30% of those sites (i think this is a over estimation) that would still leave starcraft very much in the lead... i hope this might help in your argument

sounds like ur friends are right about everything except SC is not better than w/e the other game is...

Russia has a population of 142 million people. According to wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runet#Mass_usage) apprx 37.5 million people used the internet in the 6 months leading up to June 2009. So only about 1/4 of the population even uses the internet.
So it would be very difficult for 93% of the Russian population to play any online game. However, it's possible that they mean 93% of the internet population, but either way get a source or call them bullshitters.

never even heard of this game lol.
|
Your friends are awesome and you are easily trolled.
|
I used to play BFME2, It takes so much more skill than SC.
... NOT
Are your friends KIDDING!? My God! Just play them in it and beat them xD
|
BFME2, that's just a game intended for people who can't think more about how to defeat a good opponent
|
i couldnt even recognize the acronym haha.

Most people are still using either dial-up or "internet cards" with really slow connection speed, most of them won't even be able to play this (sup Latham).

Lol ive been to Russia many times, people there don't like bfme2 its not even in their internet cafes. Russia is all CS players. Maybe your friends need a swift kick to their jugular's.
