you are not alooooone
http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif this is the best thing since fried chicken!
I was just replaying the original one and broodwars, a week later, sc2 is announced http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif cant wait!

Total Annihilation was far better than Starcraft, and Supreme Commander will be far better than Starcraft2 http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

Im guessing you never played seriously online?
Thats where the real starcraft strength lies. So beautifuly different, yet perfectly balanced races, a simple techtree still allowing lots of different tactics, yet not to complex to annoy.
Ive played TA as wel, and loved it. but SC just has that little extra kick http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Yer avatar creeps me out.

The original StarCraft game really got me into the whole genre. Tis is excellent!

I have troubles with this game: an army which is described as HUGE is made of ten units, resource management is more important than battle management, and moreover, the winner is the guy who clicks the fastest (that's not me). http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/tired.gif

Those points are the extras which kicked me out of SC.

The sea/air/land combinations, the fact tat resources are not a very big trouble and the real 3d environment of Total Annihilation are still wonderful. And don't forget the nuclear weapons! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/evil.gif

For me, the best RTS ever made is still Ground Control 2, because it is only focused on tactic and strategy. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

Your signature is me from wednesday evening to sunday morning.

i can field couple of hundred marines/firebats in each game, on each attack. it's depends on the situation. yeah.. build order is important in ths game. if you don't keep your eyes peeled, you will get killed within few min of the game by other guys rushing you with about 10 of their units. that really sucks. but if you get your initial build order set, that can be prevented.. along with way to distract those who are rushing you.

as for nuke.. it takes time, but there is nuke in this game. i have nuked myself just to get me out of hot seat number of times. and love them ghosts.

i think there are as many people who love this game as there are those who hates it, including their girlfriends and their wives..

I played this game a lot back in the day. I'm actually glad that my computer is so shabby and outdated that I wont be able to play SC2.

We once had a Korean boarder who claimed to be #40 in the world in SC. He used to teach me how to play competitively -- he was a ruthless drill sergeant http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

you gotta be kidding me!!!!


STARCRAFT 2!!!

i hope it isnt a crappy boring 3d remake like warcraft III

is there some pictures??

is it true that blizzard is gonna shut down the servers of starcraft when starcraft 2 releases?

im sorry about the 3 post in a row, but to everyone thats interested, ive done my homework:

http://www.starcraft2.com/

You are most wise, sir. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

But I cannot afford the PC which Sup Com needs http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/cry.gif I save my money for a bogu http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/smiley.gif

The Starcraft 2 site is very empty... The game iself looks like the first game.

I hear that! I want to try the dual monitor thing. I want to see 2,000 units but my poor aging system starts to melt far too soon. I fear to even try C&C 3. I rediscovered physical activity 2 years ago, and I spent my system upgrade money on bogu--probably a good choice.

I never liked the micro part of game so I never really liked the Blizz RTS games. My micro friends hated TA. They're busy trying to figure out what this unit does while getting run over. TA was much more my type of game. Units shoot and die--build more. No special magic skills or what not. Just large numbers of units and lots of ways to throw them around. As for nukes, I never built 1 nuke--I always felt better with 5-20 of them. My computer melts before I can get one built in SupCom.

I still have TA on all my PCs, SC is only on 1 one for the kids. I was expecting a Starcraft MMO announcement.

To run at least the first ten minutes of a Sup Com battle, I overclocked my PC. But I'm stopped by the Blue Screen Of Death : too hot, far too hot... 85°C on the processor.
That's my temperature after a kendo training.

BTW, I duplicated my TA cds, to be sure to always have the possibility to install it, and that was a good idea, because one of my original cds is dead.

If your room has no environmental control, a cd has a life expectancy of about ten years.

If you like a game, crack it and duplicate it! Gameburnworld is your friend.

I saw the 20 minute movie demo, and I think it looks great.

IMO, Blizzard has some wiggle room. All they have to do is upgrade the graphics and make interesting new units like the mothership for example, and people will buy this game -- even if just for the serious graphics upgrade.

If I ever buy a new PC and play SC2 often, I'd like one of you to please come with a shinai to my house and keep doing kote until I can't use my hands to play the game anymore -- thanks http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

looks like a must-have game to me =P ...glad I´m putting together a new computer this month.

One of the scariest sequals ever...

If they mess one thing up a shit storm will commence, I have faith ihn Blizzard though, they've really got their stuff together.

OK, I finally watched the gameplay vid I missed the first time I get on the site. I'm fed up with sequels which add nothing to the original (I hope SC2 won't be like this) or games designed for 2010 computers (the same).

I'm going back to Dune 2 (nearly no relations with Dune, another great game)http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif . For those who do not know it, check it on http://www.abandonia.com/ (when the site works).

After playing over 1000 hours of starcraft over 3 years, I have to object to pretty much your entire post, Sparvhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/normal.gif :
Depends on how long the game has been going,what race you are using, and the kind of units you use. You can have an army of 100 units with zerg if you want late in the game, or 10 Carriers, or just mass a huge army of weaker units, up to you.

and resource management is more important than battle management, and moreover, the winner is the guy who clicks the fastest (that's not me). http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/tired.gif ...no.
Battle management is quite important in starcraft. You can have all the resources you want but if your enemy is up in your base pulling a good late game tank push, no amount of dragoon, scout, zealot, or carrier massing will save you.

As for clicking fast, while it helps a lot, there are still ways around it, you know, like with superior strategy. I've beaten players who have twice my APM (actions per minute, clicks and key presses) on several occasions back in the day....


The sea/air/land combinations, the fact tat resources are not a very big trouble and the real 3d environment of Total Annihilation are still wonderful. And don't forget the nuclear weapons! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/evil.gif Okay, you get that paragraph. Terran can still use nukes though http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/nervous.gif

Of course, I don't doubt that the other games you play are pretty good, I just didn't want false criticism of one of my all time favorite games, and the game Koreans have TV stations dedicated to.
