after 5 games of wc3 at a friends house, i considered the game as bullshit and way too low. i watched him play some games too, and he's actually pretty good. but it's way too much colors and so so so fucking slow. all in all the game sucks, so i didn't play. never felt the urge to play anything else except broodwar. but then again, i'm not the "gamer" type of person. it was just this one game that amazed me over and over again, and kept me playing for about 9 years. | ||

Then played WC3 and i liked it but not as much as bw, i played it for a few times and thats it. then it arrived DOW1, and i loved that game but it was very unbalanced and soon you loose all the fun in it. then i played wc3 DOTA and i like it it a little bit but it was too easy that i didnt enjoy it as much as bw. so all these times i spent playing bw constantly and watching korean VODs and leagues. then i bought age of the empires 3 and really liked it but still bw was by far the best RTS i had bought. now i am playing sc2, and sc1 at the same time and i enjoy both of them, because bw its very fun to watch but sc2 not so much so i am just waiting for sc2 to evolve and become as good watchable as bw is.(in terms of BO precision and timings as well as strategicly speaking) | ||

First RTS, I've played others slightly but not for any great length. I got the beta of sc2 and have been playing seriously every week trying to get better. I come from a competitive Counterstrike background, I use every possible action to get an advantage. It's so fun! | ||

Although its like 10 years ago i played it, i was pretty high ranked on the official servers. The game is properly mostly known by germans, since it was very populated by them and a few americans. And ofc the old school stuff like C&C series including red alert, warcraft 1-3, total war series, and totalt annihialation or however its spelled ![]() Anyways, my 2 cents ![]() | ||

I still remember back in the day playing on korean servers like Brain and watching early VODs of the BW proscene. One in particular that I remember vividly because I watched it so much. It was an early FPVOD of Boxer playing some zerg on LT. He was at 12 and makes a sick sick come back. Being a terran player, mostly due to him, that vid always inspired me in getting better back then. I think was vs [DF]Zergboy..!! or something I remember, the zerg slow ovie lurker drops him, boxer ends up countering with m&m drop at natural, boxer ends up getting knocked down, lifts WHOLE base to 9, stops the attack with tank on cliff, and overpowers :D was such a great game | ||

Due to RA2's lack of online, I've resorted to SC2. You can still play RA2 online. When EA dropped the Westwood servers they gave control to Xwis. It should just automatically take you to their servers, without you even noticing. Their website is here. | ||
