No number groups, no rally points, no path finding, just raw clicking.

Great game.

There are hotkeys. I played for a bit, but every game kind of felt like a ZvZ. There just aren't that many tactical options and most games are 8 minutes long.

WarCraft 1 was even more pure, you had to issue commands by first clicking order icon. And max selection was 4, not 9
But did seriously warcraft 2 not have control groups? I think it had but i'm too lazy to install just to check

I hate WC2, mainly cause my fav race was Human and the severe imbalances pretty much guaranteed you a loss if you met a Orc.

I do play WC2 with friends from time to time though, so sad that the AIs are retarded

oh my god, I had so many nerdgasms watching that video, I played that game sooo much when it came out, that was loong before I had internet though and this was the first time I ever saw a mp match of WC2.
Music so epic.
And I love how different the different Tiers of the main building looks, when I used to play it it was like whooooaaaaah now I can build these new units who are soooo badassss.
ahhh being a child was awesome.

Btw. did the addon add any new units at all? Can't really remember any added units

There are control groups and rudimentary path finding. Don't remember if there are rally points or not.

Some other awesome things about it you didn't list:
- Only one playable race!
- Perfect balance! (because of the above)

Edit: Seriously, the 2 best RTS's among the oldschool ones would definitely be SC:BW and C&C:RA.

Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

All you SC2 nerds will notice a familiar name.

Edit: oh man the guy playing in that video makes so many mistakes. Doesn't his initial hall/rax, gets supplyblocked, late lvl3, didn't cancel the harass rax at 9 o clock.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

I found a warcraft2 forum that's very active. What a hardcore community they are still active after 15+ years.

They are sickeningly bad manner too lol.

Scroll 1/3 down and see how bad this warcraft2 player gets burned for posting his pic.
