1. Denial. It's not a secret to anyone now that the BW teams are going to switch at some point, but it looks like 90% people having posted here are in total denial. 2. Hate towards SC2 (which explains the denial). I don't get it, everytime there is a thread related to both BW and SC2, there is a huge hate from the BW people towards SC2. I personnally like both games, and even if SC2 is obviously not as mechanically hard to play, I like watching it. Even if some people don't like it, they can just respect it, and stop the ridiculous elitism. EDIT: just looking at people's quotes/signatures proves a really weird hate. It's not that people are obsessed by BW, they are obsessed by hating SC2 1Eris1 : "I tried out StarCraft 2 and League of Legends. I was so surprised when I first played StarCraft 2. I couldn't believe that such an easy game exists." -Midas Ideas: BW is the only esport. gogo STX/Bogus/Calm/Jaedong/Kal fabiano: The biggest mistake of Starcraft 2 is to be named after the greatest of all games: Starcraft: Broodwar blubbdavid:A thread vaguely bashing SC2?

Luckily I have acquired enough hobbies not to miss pro-gaming. Sadly, it's the same for me. E-sports, for all its growth, hasn't really matured at all. It's still a thing for kids. As BW slows down, I'm steadily outgrowing the entire e-sports scene and moving back to watching more traditional sports. Most of my posts in the last few months here in TL are in the NFL and NBA threads. | ||

If you see a thing threatening the thing you love, then you will automatically develop hatred. | ||

Good SC2 matches are great to watch , LOL gets viewers but its a borefest and WC3 is pretty much dead. FPS are also not fun to watch for me. Hots will make SC2 much better and blizzard may even introduce some kind of lan mode , the game is faster and much more appealing to masses than SC1 so if BW switches to SC2 it will be great for the game , SC2 is not so easy as some say and i really think that it requires as much skill as bw its just that some people dont really like changes, but so many things in the world change everyday ( laws and tech ) . We change for the better not for the worse | ||

The reason SC2 is popular is because its new with good graphics and its easy to play. Its different because when Blizzard release BW it made Starcraft better. Now with SC2 already being flamed for not being well designed (mostly by old school bw players), bliz is releasing an expansion that actually makes the game look worse. It looks more and more like C&C Tiberium Sun mixed with Transformers with a sprinkling of Starcraft lore to keep the Starcraft fans happy. edit: I walked away and thought of what really upsets me about the game more than battle hellions and warhounds, and thats the lack of LAN and no cross server play. I had friends that I could enjoy BW with from all over the planet after buying the game one time. I could also have all my friends come over (bringing pizza and soda too  ) to my house and LAN for hours on hours. I didnt have to have an internet connection to enjoy a game with my friends in my room. But I still want to be optimistic about SC2. So my opinion of what it needs: 1) get Dustin out 2) focus on what made BW the best rts ever made, and one of the best games ever made. 3) value more input from the fans who are not band wagoners who jump from new game to new game. Get insight on game features from people who care about the long term life of the game. 4) allow cross region play and consider some form of offline play. The older higher ups of Blizzard have most left now, after SC2 was published and is having, in their eyes, very good success. So Dustin will probably stick around for very long. I do think he tries very hard to honor BW, but he just isn't up to the level of the original Blizzard game designers, who basically created [a of part of] the PC gaming industry from scratch. If you look at HotS additions, they are mostly trying to address the "SC2 is inferior to BW" claims. Just look at the new units: A- Terran has basically what they think is a spidermine now, which should restore BW's "Terran map control" (oc it wont). The Battle Helion/Warhound are just a way to give Terran a "Mech Play" route, similar to BW's, in Blizzard's on view. B- Zerg has gained the Viper, which is a remake of the defiler, with an inferior Dark Swarm ability. The Swarm Host is just a shitty Lurker replacement. So they're trying to fix it, but they just lack the talent to get it right imo. | ||

Viper also has the "GET OVER HERE!"-hook from Scorpion in Mortal Kombat, Banelings can MOVE underground while burrowed, you can actually upgrade Hydra speed at hive tech(!) AND Ultralisk can upgrade Charge and do some underground charge attack you would expect from some strenght hero in DotA/HoN. Oh yeah, you can actually build a assimilator in your opponents base and turn it into a cannon or something like that. It's like a mix of Starcraft, wc3, some MOBA game and C&C Red Alert 2 lol. | ||

MMO and MOBA games will eventually take over if the scene remains separated. +1. Sadly, the ensulting voices always seem to be much louder than the voices of reason. | ||
