Also, eesh the game probably needs some re-balancing. Obviously it's just alpha, but mass marauders/hellions was hilariously powerful. And marauders taking down colossi was just silly. I really thought that "concussion" missiles were going to be anti-infantry. We didn't see a single tank, and only ever saw like 4 marines. | ||

But as for the game I want to play, as a "noob" I want something new, fresh, and smoother than BW, I dont think ill be pro from night to day, but with enought practice, automine and MBS, I might be able to execute better tatics, have more clearness to think my decisions thro, and have more fun overall because I will feel like my mistakes will cause my defeat, and not my inability to play the game because of its high requirements. Im not looking foward to BW 3d, im looking foward to SC2, I want easier macro so I can play and have a better shot against any of you guys, be ready because I will own you all in sc2. HA | ||

1. Up to date graphics. 2. Cool explosions. 3. Xel'Naga Watchtowers. 4. Some units look too big. 5. The guy using the colossus sucked balls so the colossus must suck balls. 6. I am in denial that units in Starcraft 2 can turn around and shoot like they did in Broodwar. 7. Nostalgia. 8. They took out the firebat. 9. All the reasons listed above. 10. More reasons that I will think of later. | ||

Are you afraid that someone you thought was a lesser person will come out on top in the only thing you can judge people by, Starcraft? Easier Macro does NOT mean noobs will pwn. It just means There will be more time to think of strategy and execute micro. | ||

Easier Macro does NOT mean noobs will pwn. It just means There will be more time to think of strategy and execute micro. No, easier mechanics just dumbs down the mechanical side of the game. Now instead of people needing to be skilled in multiple departments, they are only skilled in one. The effects of hard practice will also be minimized. I've seen it happen in dozens of sequels, and SC2 isn't an exception. | ||

1z2z3z4z5z I press zzzzz, any fucktard can press 1z2z3z4z5z with ten minutes of practice. Auto-mine WILL be taken out when beta comes out because that actually makes a difference. | ||

Easier Macro does NOT mean noobs will pwn. It just means There will be more time to think of strategy and execute micro. .. Reasons I should not ban you: 1. It's christmas. 2.............. Help me out here. Seriously - can people stop the whole "are you scared" bullshit? 99.99% of the people on this forum would benefit hugely from MBS and Automine when playing the pros. Btw, more time to think is completely wrong - you think while you execute, it's not like I go "oh man I'm gonna do this totally sweet thing - oh wait let's make some SCVs - .. ah where was I? Nvm let's ling rush". I'm not really against the new UI features, I think with the proper metagame the game could still be as demanding as SC (ie all the MBS and automining features are irrelevant in ZvZ but it's still hugely demanding*), but more time to think isn't much of an argument for why they should be there. * I'm not suggesting all the matchups be like ZvZ, I just mean that if the optimal way to play the matchup is extremely harass/multitask heavy then those actions will simply replace MBS/automining. | ||

NO. cuz that wud be a bore. in sc2, these 40 apm guys were playing, but it was still INTERESTING. you could feel that gameflow and who was obviously winning and you could anticipate and predict what would happen. if you want sc's simplicity, you can just turn down the texture settings. this was a freaking demonstrational vid. you are not the ones playing. im sure if you were actualy playing, you would really like how sc2 plays out. if you are actually playing it you can distinguish btwn the units easily. and about the banshee thing. im pretty sure its 2 banshee hits = 1 probe. so? its like a vulture... | ||

3. Having to moderate the SC2 forum hasn't even hardened your heart I've always wondered what TL would be like if the B.net forum posters started posting here. I fear the future of this forum once the beta comes out. | ||

why are you guys so angry about MBS. sure it will give newbs easier time, but it will also make players taht have good macro into macro gods. referencing to the DAN stapleton i think article. "speed freaks" dan wants a slower speed so he can keep up. but a slower speed will still resultin him losing horribly, as last romantic, who gets a slower speed benefit as well, will abuse this to perfect his macro, micro mechanics in general. sure dan gets a boost, but LR gets a boost too. its the same. | ||
