...Let me get this out of the way: StarCraft 2 is more strategic than StarCraft 1. Both are RTS (Real Time Strategy) games, but they have different emphasises. SC1 is a Real Time Strategy game, and SC2 is a Real Time Strategy game.
SC1 is a game of speed and mechanics. Yes, there is a lot of strategy, of course, but it is certainly secondary to being able to make as many units as possible and to move those units in the right way.
SC2 is a game of strategy. Yes, there are lots of mechanics and speed required, of course, but those are much less punishing than making incorrect strategic choices...
Oh yeah he said some stuff about the GSL finals and Rain and KeSPA and stuff too.
But basically I'm posting this just to fish for a response from Rekrul

Haha, I think there are more strategic elements in StarCraft 2, but I am not sure StarCraft 2 could be considered more "strategic", although...
Here comes one hell of a thread.

You can bring an elephant to a room, but you can't make it play Starcraft.

Good luck with that...

I feel like I just walked into a room full of TL writers and moderators as cats in the home of a cat lady, and here we have Waxangel, the beta, waltzing right over to Rekrul's litter box, and pissing in it, long and slow, while staring him in the eyes the entire time.

He would know, as he was/is a professional in both sc1 and sc2.

Meh, sensational title.
He just means the strategy has more room in SC2 because mechanics aren't as hard as in BW, so the player with the best strategy can often wins against the player with the best mechanics.
|
I'll bite:
I like that Artosis compared the strategic beauty of sc2 with the beauty of sc1 micro (muta, vulture and reaver were explicitly mentioned). The only thing I'd add is that there is no reason sc2 can't incorporate better micro ala sc1 (Depth of Micro by Lalush). Sorry for harping on this again but I can't see why this can't be added.
|
I kinda agree with him. But then again I suck at both SC1 and 2 so I might have no idea what I'm talking about
|
I actually agree with his point. Strategies have a lot more room in SC2. Mvp would never ever win his 4th GSL title if not for that very reason. He won the title purely off his strategic brilliance. However, it doesn't really mean SC1 lacks Strategy or SC2 lacks mechanic requirement. SC1 still has immense strategic value and the same goes for SC2 mechanical skill.

Got me too...the only thing more strategical about SC2 compared to BW is the fact that SC2 has way more abilities than BW, I would honestly go as far to say that BW is more strategical than SC2, and SC2 just has more abilities, more and more like a MOBA.
