Having more focus on micro makes it more epic for the viewer during battles while the addition of MBS doesn't hinder the experience at all. If MBS and automine was the only problem with WC3, I would be playing it right now... But noone cares what you would play. Seriously, you're not a part of the korean e-sport industry. Unlike the rest of the world, they have to enshure their business keeps on running. Noone knows what's going to happen when starcraft 2 is out. The problem comes with the term new. Everything that's new usualy has to fight an uphill battle against being short-dated. Be it music, be it movies, be it games. For something to transcent from something like a game to a competitive enviroment (sport) is a lot harder than it seems. The criterias for having a good spectator game go deeper than just onscreen action. Otherwise we could choose any other game as long as it has enough action. Yes, starcraft2 might come out to be a great game to play, but it has to be more than that if it wants to tie on where starcraft/broodwar was. "It has everything it needs", there were lots and lots of people in the entertainment business that said the same, but in the end their projects just didn't work out and usualy faded away. Your simplyfication wont work for the korean market. Starcraft2 might have had a freeride 10 years ago, but now it has a legacy to overcome. And that is a troublesome task. | ||

Nal_rA quits and gets a job working as a janitor. He's making a statement that Janitors are equally respected as progamers. And then a small percentage of the female esport audience combine to watch Nal_rA's janitorial skills, and he becomes a larger sex symbol as The CLEANER Toss. Not the Dreamer. Times Change. | ||

Although...I hate to do this, but can someone please photoshop a picture of Nal_rA as the Mr. Clean guy? But seriously though. I hope SC2 brings back some oldies. And still maintains infinite competition like the first game. | ||

it will throw away the macro of the game =( and macro is an important thing in starcraft. Blizzard said the auto mining and mbs are to follow the games modernization but i think it should not follow anything, it have to dictate what is modern and waht is not in a rts, cause its starcraft no? if they intend to keep it, ok, but give us more things to macro =) no one wants to see starcraft like an army manager | ||

It's not like SC2 should have something in because other modern games have it. It's more like is it needed to keep things like MBS out of game to make it fun? Other games don't have to do it...* Should players have lots to do in game in this way? Easiest way to solve this isn't necessarily the best. *Another question is what games exactly? The only 1 that comes to my mind (except W3) is Supreme Commander and there MBS is really needed... because this SC  revolves about big numbers and I don't think even Koreans would do much about it through hard work... if they played it.Anyone know of other games with things like MBS? | ||
