Ever played quake? Duel that is, controlling the weapons you can pick up, the different armors (red armor, yellow armor and the armor shards, health bubbles and the megahealth) + the time it takes for every item to respawn.. Sorry, but it's obvious you didn't really think this through. Sc2 is relatively easy, or at least it should be, for someone who puts in the effort. Sc2 compared to brood war, well.. Sc2 is like the noobie friendly brood war version, so if you care so much about the skill you need and you like rts games, challenge yourself and play brood war. See what I did there? Made a comment just as silly as yours. It's rather annoying to see people comparing 2 different genres of games and unconsciously making it obvious they lack the knowledge to say such a thing. I've played brood war, I've played q1/qw, q2, q3, q4, ql,.. One by one they were more challenging than brood war for me personally. Those fps games combine timing, control, you need the aim, you need the movement, the capability to adapt, more so than with starcraft.. If you based your opinion on the comparison between sc2 and let's say the latest call of duty game, of course, but i wouldn't use cod in my argument to put down the required skill level for fps games, it brings down the weight of your argument. The majority of starcraft is routine, the build order, the timings.. Nothing is routine with quake for example. If your opponent forces you away from red armor, you are forced to go about it a different way, you don't know which health items, armor items nor which weapons and ammo he's prevented you from taking, unless you see or hear him do it, you're in the dark. You also have to calculate how much health and armor your opponent has before engaging into a fight + which weapons he has, based on that you can approach him the right way and from the right angle.. My apologies for the aggressive approach, but the lack of knowledge on your part regarding fps games was quite infuriating. | ||

you don't feel limited other than the meta and your build. The units do whatever you want them to do almost 100% of the time and it is a battle of doing the best thing and doing more | ||
