BGH and all possible game modes are available in the melee map section of battle.net not in arcade. arcade only has 1v1 fighting spirit. if you want to play 2v2/3v3/FFA/etc you need to go into the starcraft melee map section (top left, starcraft > custom games) | ||

I don’t see many RTS released nowdays so you point is disputable. And why AI has to be super smart? It can be relatively stupid if that leads to exciting gameplay. | ||

And HOTS won't change much because in HOTS unlike of this mod basic design mechanics which leads to many actual problems of SC2 will not be changed. Why do we want lucky flaws? Why not lucky virtues? Take the marine for example. I doubt it was in Blizzard's intention for the standard marine stim/baneling or infestor interaction to be intense splitting micro. They were probably just thinking "there needs to be something that can counter mass bio" and not trying to design probably the best micro interaction in the game right now. | ||

You should have promoted this on Bnet forum and reddit. With the way it is right now, I doubt it lasts for 3 months, like the old SC2BW and less mineral maps. | ||

Ever see a reviewer say "The AI was beyond idiotic, the UI random and unresponsive, and everything required constant babysitting...but don't worry, in 3 years this game will be competitive and fun to watch"? | ||

BW was a great game despite it's shortcomings, not because of it. | ||

Because clearly 1998 is today. I repeat: If a game with UI, AI and control as broken as BW was released today, it would flop. | ||

... hope that Blizzard would notice us and implement some of our changes ... and I am totally for that. I think SC2 is a stale, broken bore of a game compared to BW, I haven't played it for what must be over a year now. But unless they change the game fundamentally, as described in the OP, there is no point, and they wont. It's too late now. The first expansion is coming and unless these changes are all in it (they aren't) the game will remain what it is: a decent game, a distraction that lasts for a couple months, much like the latest shooter or platformer. I think most of us will agree we would never have played SC2 for half as long as we did if it weren't for the fact that it has Starcraft in the name. The only solution is the one constantly parroted by Blizzard: if you want to play Broodwar, play Broodwar. We all want Broodwar to somehow make it into the next generation of gaming but unfortunately that's just not gonna happen. | ||
