The reason of why FS or Python are played is not in great part caused by the system, but because players simply don't like to torture themselves by needing to adapt to other than the standard maps. This is specially true regarding heavily nonstandard maps, Player and people in general like to blame other things for their mistakes or for not being able to do wherever they want, in BW and SC2 there are not as many escape goats because they are 1v1 games, but one of the very few are the maps. You can clearly see this on not only BW, but SC2, AoEx, or any RTS, where the player base sits around a limited amount of possible map layouts, and when the big core of players are pushed to play on maps outside of this set of layouts/maps gets really uncomfortable. And it is understandable! They are out of their comfort zone. Proof : http://fr.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/3bjnfa/thoughts_on_the_new_maps/ Read the comments. | ||

 + Show Spoiler + Well, I have played bw for less than hour so :D But yeah, I came from Age of Empires background and sc1/bw graphics was just something horrible that I couldnt play more. My post is just as much meaningful than most of the posts in this thread | ||

"mechanical prowess is no guarantee of success in Sc2" or "strategy can overcome mechanical weakness" They are both highly strategic games, perhaps he is also considering how brood war was figured out towards the end of its life so that both players knew what the other one was going to do so it came down to execution. | ||

I also think that sc2 is more strategic but BW is more tactical and i personally prefer tactical gameplay. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Strategy_vs_Tactic | ||

I sometimes imagine that I can meet a SC2 celebrity on an airport or such (as I travel a lot and they do) and I think about how weird it would be, to hear a voice that I have so deepl linked to a computer screen out in the open, I would probably trip and fall if that was to happen. | ||

My post is just as much meaningful than most of the posts in this thread Whaaaaaaaaaaat? I think the BW graphics are some of the more beautiful in any game I have played. Far superior to the SC2 graphics in my opinion. The BW graphics were so colorful and strong. And the effects were awesome. Just look at Valkyrie missles or all the blood effects on zerg units. Or the gorgeous siege tank blast explosions. | ||

It is a matter of taste but especially the animations are top notch. Also BW utilizes the golden ratio rules nearly perfect: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/373922-starcraft-broodwar-golden-ratio-graphic Unfortunately the thread is too old... the images were removed  | ||

But that does not mean sc2 is more strategic, it just seems this way since execution is less important. Well I think the graph explains what I mean .I would like to expound on your graph, if I may, by using the parable of the Artosis the Struggling Blogger and the Door of Viewcount. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ScsCH8A.png) | ||

But I think this graph shows how one could still improve it. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ja0Oj3r.jpg) Also no idea how you did it, but your stickman actually somehow looks like Artosis :D. | ||
