Insomnia: WAR3 is much better, in BW it's impossible to play the game at it's best, because there are so many things to do.

This guy obviously doesn't have NaDa's multitasking abilities. GG OWNED!!!!!

Yikes you guys are incredibly narrow-minded. I far from agree with Insomnia, but you can't honestly believe you're right and that he's an idiot based off an opinion that you have. It's not fact that Brood War is a better game (it's an opinion many people share), that's all about taste and what each individual finds fun. You can't call him an idiot, or wrong, for stating his opinion. If he had more fun with Brood War he'd still be there. Is he wrong for trying to do what he finds fun?

I can't believe how many of you are bashing on [o]Mr.X. -.-;;
Back when he played I'd say his Z was pretty good. Sure not Yellow/Chojja good, but still up there. And now that he plays WC/TFT more now, let's all bash him for changing games, omg omg omg. Gah...

He's been making money off playing Blizzard RTS since back in the day. That alone says a lot. Thanks.

he finds War3 more fun eh...

hm, i never really play BW for fun anymore.. i guess i only did back in money maps. Right now it's more than that - it's like a testament against your own abilities, can you outdo your own previous maximum, be that apm, macro, micro, creativity, etc. I've palyed war3 quite a lot and never had a feeling that, like it was hard to play.. it was more like relaxing, sorta like CS, but less so. In SC before i start a game i fucking feel it - it's gonna be damn fucking hard, and sometimes you know that even if you play your absolute best, you will be outclassed and lose.

guess that's what keep me coming back :O

Eh I think you mean chobo in BW, but if you do mean that, you dunno your history very well.

That's because you KNOW what BW is capable of. There's not a person on this planet who knows as much about War3 as most people do about BW right now. The game is so young; just as BW evolved, so will War3. I honestly don't think War3 is more advanced than BW, I really don't. But there's really no telling what it's capable of, considering so many new things are still being discovered, and especially considering it's the first game of it's kind, already making it a unique experience that Brood War can't ever compete with. Whether it's a better experience, that's for the player to decide.

Think about what it was like discovering for the first time that there was more to BW than money maps. That there were truly skilled players out there, pro gamers even. A lot of people here haven't reached the equivalent of that in War3 and still see it much like they saw BW back in the money map days.

That's fine and all, but people should at least follow some logic in their flames and have just a little bit of knowledge of what they're talking about.

lollerz, this is like saying simple things are always better. I think that in the world of gaming, the more there is to master the better... ffs :D And I respected mr.x for his nice z usage at the time of bw.

However I see why he is backing wc3 up... he has made shitload of money with it.
River me timbers.

damn why ppl lose their time arguing endlessly for which game is the best ? Just play the game u like the most. I'm playin' BW coz i'm having more fun with BW than with W3 but if ppl like war3 then it's np for me. On the other hand i agree his arguments are not very good but as i said this stuff is pure waste of time..

in BW, this guy has got the tools to make it big if he really wanted. Except he will be known as Mr.X . In WC3 he is the next Grrr... or maybe already is. Of course he will choose wc3

rofl, your statement most probably applies to you then.

i also dont see why there is more fun in a game in which you can reach your limit instead of constantly improving yourself.
and i also prefer cs over bw hahaha

Dude stating your opinion is fine and all, but here mrx states that perfection can be achieved in war3 while it cant in starcraft, thus war3 is better! This is like the best argument FOR starcraft being better as a competitive game than war3, so yeah we can call his opinion idiotic, moronic and whatever else, without making any conclusions about him as a person in the meantime of course

Can someone tell him there's a game named pac-man? I'm sure he can play at 200% of his macro/micro.
