 . Aren't there enough freaking team games nowadays? Sigh, well I will stick with sc2 until wc4 comes I guess. Not that I don't love sc2 and Legacy is looking good, but I thought having anohter 1v1 rts game and some competition would be great. | ||

They gave up on the idea of it being playable in the browser a couple of months ago iirc. | ||

SC2 has enough trouble with performance as a standalone client, is there really any chance that a browser-based RTS would be even remotely playable? I know they also have a client, so its not a problem, but still, it seem quite absurd. Quite playable. Browser tech is pretty amazing and rapidly advancing. Check out http://littlewargame.com/ and http://www.adityaravishankar.com/projects/games/command-and-conquer/. Pretty sure they stated in a blog somewhere that one of the biggest problems is that you are at the whims of browser devs changing a piece of code on their end and breaking everything on atlas's by doing so. You can have literally changed nothing in your games code base and have the entire project fall apart for chromes users the next day. Also some full screen issues are evident in games like little war that google doesn't seem to have a high priority on fixing. Still, can be made absolutely playable and performant though. Sc2's engine leaves much to be desired. BW was doing massive 8 player battles how long ago with pretty damn good stability? | ||

But it happens less often. | ||

Imagine it as a vague sorta kinda TvZ with one faction having tanks, marines, scv/turret, while the other has ling, bling, muta. In addition to the primary type, you could have supporting units of various kinds (medics for marines, vultures for tanks, vikings for medivacs or whatever). You get an interesting dynamic where it's not inherently coin flippy, but each player has to work together to make sure their prong of the attack works well. On another, it could be bullshit coinflippyness. (I liked monobattles, but they were always a little bullshit.) Who knows!? | ||

the good news is that this means there's a decent amount of interest in this game already, since well over 1000 people must have signed up if so many are getting rejected. | ||
