Hopefully if Blizzard can bite the bullet on a few issues (cross-realm/chat rooms) and get some community-required features going, SC2 will also last a long time. | ||

And now to all the guys, which seem to clamp on the past. Are you guys still cooking over the open fire, because it's more delicious? Or did u guys have a stove. Seriosly, are you kidding me? You guys critizing people hyping on sc2. But on the other hand you say, that sc2 won't become as big as scbw? I think this is pretty darn ironic. Be thankful of more and more people buying sc2. Maybe even today there are more people that bought sc2 than there were people buying scbw. And seriosly, give players the time to enhance. Yeah the movement systems and all that stuff is way easier to handle in sc2. But isn't that the possibility for more action on the other hand? Just let all the progamers get into sc2. you will get epic matches. And the way better graphix can just be a +point for the people watching. So again, give the people time to get into the game! There are many possibilities left, which were not explored yet. When you want to compare sc2 to his predecessor, compare it to the beginning of sc1. People did just micro back then! They had 12 years to check that game out!! Come on, i do even feel silly, to have to write this stuff.... Do not cling to the past! PS: I am sorry for my bad english, i am just a random german geek =8) | ||

It was a good run, but I'm still going to be on BW as well. | ||

Also, "Most of us had never played a game like Starcraft." From a game industry perpective, I would find this statement puzzling. Everyone was on the RTS bandwagon -- Warcraft 2, Dark Reign, AOE, Total Annihilation, Myth etc... If you read the reviews of that time (metacritic) you'll see these "good/B+/A1" reviews of Blizzard's Starcraft. Like many of you know, the 12 unit limit was seen as a step backwards in RTS game design. I understand that it's tempting to tell a story in your article: the passing of a great heritage from SC to SCII; but, i'd encourage you to stick to the facts a bit more. We don't need to pretend that Starcraft was perfect from the start to show that it is a great game. It wasn't perfect but it was original. No other RTS out there had ever before had 3 balanced and diverse races or even attempted to make a game with 3 races and not 2. A lot of the games out there only had 2 races and they were balanced in that they were mostly the same races but with different graphics for the units and names. Theres also the fact that it used professionals to voice act and worked hard on good portraits and a good campaign. Thats what he means by "Most of us had never played a game like Starcraft". | ||

As a very casual BW player and somehow more enthusiastic SC2 player, I really love the variety of BO's that SC2 has (more than BW), the fact that you can mix units of all techs and be successful even on the diamond league (as a terran player, 1-1-1 builds vs toss and mixes of infantry and mech vs zerg are common and very effective, both based on good scouting), and I love the fragility of its micro and how for example a few well placed snipes and emp's can give you victory over double-food armies. Also, the game is a blast to watch, with many units being fast and very harassment-potent which allows (demands) non-stop aggression and a lot of action and multitasking all over the map. It also allows lots of strong (but not overpowered) clever cheese...what else do you want? And that's only Wings of Liberty. What makes BW so superior really? Also remember that SC2 is a work in progress and will get more chances to succeed, more than BW. With each installment, and a development cycle that will last more than 5 years for the core game and God knows how much more for extra tweaking, Blizzard have a big timeframe during which they can vastly improve the game even more as well as the Battlenet experience...if they are clever. And they are. Without a doubt. In short, I am optimistic about SC2's course. It's not a blockbuster movie that succeeds or fails within the first weekend, it is already an awesome game that can still become much better. I don't mean to belittle BW, I grew up with it as basically my only multiplayer game like the rest of you, but I see people going "yeah BW was of course better but SC2 is ok" etc, was it really? | ||

Now that they're not working on that anymore, I'm certain many of the commonly discussed issues will be addressed. Case in point. uuuh two more expansions coming out buddy... im sure theyre already hacking away at it... they started sc original development the day after wcII came out.. still.. the single player is awesome! you just gotta let time pass and the game develop naturally with future patches.. theres a lot to still discover in sc2 | ||

This is like you have the games mixed around the wrong way. Everything you say about SC2 is more accurate to describe BW. | ||
