I think you meant

SC:BW > Wc3 > Sc2: Beta (Out for less than a week)

Unless you've played the finished product already?

I feel that no game will ever be greater than BW. I hope as well as think that BW will be played 10 years from now. A GAME that dosen't get old for 11 years will never get old and BW will stay the best RTS game ever made. Aka, sc2 will fail.

Prime example: Super Smash for N64, why do people play that more than other smash games? Cuz its better. There is no way that it can be improved upon and therefore will always stand at #1.

1. I just plain disagree.

2. That's because people haven't developed the level of micro that's present in BW. As understanding ff unit roles and quirks develops and micro improves, we'll see battles last longer.

3. Frankly this is a stupid argument. A better interface will mean better gameplay, which will benefit players and observers. The only people who don't want a simpler, easier to use interface are BW pros who are sad/angry/jealous that new SCII players won't have to wrestle with the interface to get good.

I think sc2 will turn out like SSB:Brawl. It will not replace sc1 in the competitive scene, but a lot of the competitive players from sc1 will switch to sc2 to become a casual gamer.

SC2 got one big flaw and that is that micro is basicly nonexistant . I guess thats because of the new 3D engine. Game looks preety nice i have to say and probably feels like sc but i dont think it can ever top it or even come close to the original.

SC2 will probably take over sc nonkorean gaming scene but i dont think it will ever replace progaming sc in korea if it dont lose much popularity.

A very simple advantage that SC2 has over SC is the better support for higher resolutions. Observers can use like 2560x1600 resolution screens and there will be a huge screen.

After the SC2 release i give SC:BW like half a year, maybe a bit more in Korea. Same goes for WC3, maybe except Dota :p

So the OP is saying this game will fail because he's never played and just watched some replays of guys that have played the game for 3 days?

Of course it will replace and in my opinion surpass SC1. Its already widely popular on the internet the next step is websites like hulu then wham mainstream. then football sold out concert halls

It didnt happen in Korea all at once

Edit: Oh and about dota it will die too but not before its offspring have flourished like HoN and LoL

I don't think so, they will in all likelihood run parallel leagues we still don't even know if the final product will be popular to spectators. I don't see the Sc1 pro scene going anywhere at least not for another 2 years at the very soonest.

By the way, didn't they plan to make a new DotA for SC2?

from what has been said so far by everyone and the information given to us by blizzard, SC2 just seems like a grasp at more money. They are attempting to cut off OR profit off of all 3rd party things on sc2. For example, ICCup is in trouble. 3rd party things r what makes starcraft what it is, especially for foreigners. I feel that it is much ezier for things like the TSL to happen on bw because iccup is much ezier to cooperate with than Blizzard; who doesnt really give a crap.

sc2 will definitely take some time to get balanced.

i mean just think about it, blizzard already said there will be (at least) two addons. (mainly for the other race campaigns) but as in all other addons there will be numerous tweaks to gameplay (as in new units and heroes for wc3), so i think only after the two other expansions have come out the game will truly balance itself out.

but after that i hope sc2 will get as popular as sc1 is today.

yeah it looks like sc2 will kind of replace broodwar in a year or two.
i doubt we'll have the same situation that there was with competitive cs 1.6 and cs source
