Lol.

Uh the poll seems to be a little broad, it has similar options ~_~
Great game though I think it has alot of potential the way Blizzard is pumping $$ into tournaments.

It's not exactly fair to compare SC2 to BW since SC2 isn't a complete game and BW is. When both of the expansions are released and all of the units and game features are finalized, then we can start comparing BW to SC2.

Until then my stance is SC2 is the best competitive RTS since BW, but it's not better than BW.

Best since BW. Has potential to be better than BW if the addons go right.

I hate to be the one to say this, but there are so many BW players butthurt about people leaving it for SC2. BW is an AMAZING game and fantastic to watch, so just enjoy it, no need to be a partypooper.

Umm I honestly couldn't care less about people leaving it. the korean pro-scene is still there so why would i care if some random iccup players switch. but anyway who actually watched professional BW would know that current SC2 gameplay doesn't hold a candle to BW.

Well since starcraft first became good after its expansion, I'm pretty patient given they have two more expansions before they're "done".

Its already a really good game though.

I actually keep a list of my favorite games of all time, including titles such as Guilty Gear, Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden, League of Legends and Front Mission 3.

After looking up and down said list, I have to say, Starcraft 2 is at the top of it.
Hence, my vote: "It's AMAZING! Best game I've ever played."

Yeah, I get the feeling if the exact same game was released by a different company, under a different name of course, nobody would pay it any attention and everyone would still be playing BW.

I voted that it lives up to BW legacy. There are issues with it, but one has to remember that it's a new game and there's at least 2 expansions coming for it. The campaign is FAR more fun than SC1 and most of the game has been improved.

Will it become a legendary game like SC1? Sure. Will it become as huge of an e-sports game? Maybe, hard to say for at least 2-3 years, but I would guess probably not. That, IMO, doesn't mean it doesn't live up to BWs legacy though.

Posting this on a SC2 forum will sure yield results that are not predictable and can totally be drawn conclusions from.

And posting this on a BW forum will result in much the same, no?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say results 1, 3, and 4 are mostly by people who have never played or watched BW. SC2, in its own right, is a really phenomenal game, but I just don't see it having the lifespan and captivation that BW still has. SC2 does have flaws though, and I hope Blizzard continues to improve the game well after the next two expansions.

I'm a bw player from the start, had few longer breaks from it but still always watched the pro scene.
SC2 is an awesome game, some people are just afraid that our beloved bw pro scene will disappear. I can understand them but I think the change is welcome. We have played bw for 12 years, change isn't a bad thing as sc2 IS a great game. Despite some problems with bnet 2.0

Well I feel like its only lived up half of BW's legacy and thats fine cause theres 2 more games and not all of the features are installed yet. Once that happens then yes it will probably surpass Broodwar.

The big problem with Starcraft 2 is how Blizzard screwed up the Zerg (both in the multiplayer and in the lore). There can be no simple 'fix' to it either.

Heart of the Swarm will either make or break Starcraft 2. It was the Brood War expansion that cemented Starcraft, so the question depends on whether the expansion will cement Starcraft 2.

Its an incredibly fun game, but BW was in a class of its own

I think it's an awesome game. Just wish it was harder.
