Uhm..

How can someone say:

Nydus worm = pure batshit, Scout of SC2.. Will never be seen in Progames.

And the other say:

Nydus worm = pure ownage, will dominate every Zerg game....


I mean... hu?



Other than this nice one...

I actually talked with others at Blizzcon about that. The difference is how you use the Nydus worm.

It is not a fair replacement for the Zerg doom drop. For example, you just can't take out well defended islands anymore as Zerg.

However, when used as a midgame backstab the Nydus worm is really a deadly tool.

Saying it is worthless or it will dominate every game is both an exaggeration in my opinion.

Would have been a better read if you took our some of the repetition that occurs, some authors say same things as eachother...I read about half, and found myselft knowning what the next section was going to say, without actually having to read it. But interesting nonetheless.

Chill's right. It's kind of upsetting that every comment Plexa makes isn't an earth-shattering FE-style conclusion.

finally, an in-depth article on SC2 that's worth every second of reading. I'll be pouring over this thing for a long while. Congrats to everyone who contributed, this analysis is far and away the best one for this game so far.

Very impressive article and my conclusion is - none of authors agree on all and even most of issues or balance aspects, that means that the game even now is at a very differentiated state. Basically, it has a lot in it's potential. Hopefully Blizzard realizes all of it.

You're right, going in with a mindset that SC2 will be broodwar with a 3d-engine is just stupid.
The game is not an expansion, its a new game and Blizzard would be kicking themselves if they just would do a graphical update considering the huge market that is out there.

At the end of the day SC2 won't be comparable to BW beacuse it will be so different in every single aspect, for better and worse. I for one am happy for that, i don't want to be stuck in the past, I want a new game that will change the e-sport scene not some BW 3D clone that will die out after 3 years

The ones that are thinking "but if they don't make it like Broodwar it will suck", yea right beacuse a company like Blizzard can't make good games? This is not EA we're talking about guys.
Even if you won't be able to muta micro like in SC:BW there sure as hell will be other ways where SC2 will blow SC:BW out of the water in terms of competitive factors within the gameplay.

Hey, everyone go troll this thread:

http://www.wcreplays.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106376

quite a few gems in here:

That guy Chill is an idiot. Warcraft 3 units don't have tedious turning and dying animations at all.

All this whining about SC2 using WC3 engine is retarded.


phreak not > sc people, phreak > TL.net staff


Macro and micro are about the scope of the actions.

Like I said these definitions are arbitrary and not consistent. And selecting buildings to build troops have nothing to do with economy, at least in my world.


would more people please shut these people up?

After reading Intrigues section about MBS automine and multiple unit select I am way less anti- mbs/multiple unit select but now hate automine even more.

I've become inured by the official cesspool so arguing by WC3 players that are not trolls is a breath of fresh air actually. ^__^

I'm superpooper89. I swear, I'm trying to be as gentle as possible but they're really starting to get on my nerves. I think it's pretty funny that we've had our accounts since 2004 and these guys don't think we know shit about WC3.

I've noticed that so far, we've had completely opposite verdicts on (at least I noticed) hellions, thors, archons, and the nydus worm. Would like to see how those play out.

Thanks for the all the work!

Yeah, ironically, I've played WC3 for two years before I moved to other games (DoW, Armies of Exigo, etc.) and only then - to SC. T______T

I'm really getting tired of discussing the issue with people who take my quotes out of context or prefer to argue with semantics, though. ;;
