a cookie cutter mold produces the exact same shape of cookie . if you do a cookie cutter build you're just copying something and its boring. | ||

Example: "Lol you scrubs have no skill all you can do is run fotm cookie cutter builds". If anything, in SC2, running standard builds is a sign of strong play, not weak play. | ||

You're so wrong it's unbelievable. I don't think the term "cookie-cutter" is even exclusive to videogames. It's just a generic term. | ||

really doesnt fit the context of a RTS game, the closest thing would be standard play, which starts to vary anyway after a few minutes. | ||

standard would be better fit, and it comes from literally cookie-cutter, pieces of metal/plastic that lets you cut cookies into shapes like for x-mas cookies. and the idea is that cookie-cutter makes cookies that are identical. | ||

The terminology started out from wow/mmos "cookie cutter assassin build" etc really doesnt fit the context of a RTS game, the closest thing would be standard play, which starts to vary anyway after a few minutes. Close, the term cookie cutter build in the context of MMOs are accepted builds that are the best you can do. It's not really copying other peoples builds as much as not trying to do something like tri spec (in the WoW context), which basically is the equivalent to 2 pooling in SC2. | ||

I blame casters. Just because HD says phrases like "bread and butter" several times in one game doesn't mean that they have unique meanings to SC2. It's just the limited vocabulary of casters and constant reuse that make people assume they have special hidden meanings and origins, grouping them with phrases like "cheese" and "timing push." | ||

It may not be exclusive to video games, BUT in games like Ultima Online (an MMORPG if you're unaware) the term was used quite heavily. It became pretty popular to use that term. | ||

"Food 120 timing is the bread-and-butter of this build" or "The reaper harassment is the bread and butter of this build" "Bread and butter" refers more towards what makes the build. "The reaper is the bread and butter of the 5rax play against zerg." "Cookie cutter" refers towards the exact spec of the build. "The cookie cutter build of the 5rax is 9scv, 12rax, 14rax, blah blah (I actually dunno what the build order is, but just wanted to mention it for illustration purposes)" | ||
