ah ok, I see where most of you are coming from now. You are long term fans from way back.
So am I though. But, I choose to rate the game based on what competition is available and what I can do with the game.
The variation in the unit strategies and yomi is far higher than it was in sc1. In SC1, you almost had to do a certain strategy against a certain race. If it was zerg, you go marines, science vessels, and seige tanks. If it was protoss, you go marines and goliaths science vessels and ghosts. Now it's so much more situational. And the micro is still very very important, it's just easier now that you can set a string of orders. But don't think that takes away from the talent needed. Koreans are going to have strings of orders on every single unit, and probably only play with orders.
And I'll tell you, anyone that attack-moves against me with their army dies very quickly.
What else out there offers the same kind of gameplay? WC3 is out of contol right now. It is so imbalanced and there are so many useless units, there's no point in playing. SC1 is barren in mid-tier. The only people who still play are casuals and hardcore.
The only other RTS I would say is worth purchase is dawn of war 2, but even then the MP is still very imbalanced. Also the Total War games are quite good, but the MP sucks.
Anyway, I don't get how some of you can say sc1s campaign was better. Every single mission was "kill all the x", or "kill a specific x". At least there is variety here. I really think some of you should go back and play the sc1 campaigns because it seems to me that nostalgia is setting in.
The story was good. SC1 story was very good, and the movies were pretty cool, but the campaign missions themselves were redundant and often took in excess of an hour for each one.
