Oh. My. God... WTFH?!
Err... I mean, how could WC win? From what I hear it's much worse. And that there's less strategy. Of course, my sources of information can be incorrect... and I've only played a few minutes of WCIII: Reign of the Terror Throne. Err... Reign of the Throne of Frozen War of BroodCraft. AGH, why can't I get it right? The Frozen Throne. Is what I hear correct? It had better not be if SC got beat, but it had better be, since I got SC instead of WC... \: conflicting imperitives...

Oh, ya... heh.
Why Blizzard, WHY?!(asking about there only being 1 SC game)
I mean, I'm sure that if they spent a HELL of a lot more time deciding on making SC 2, working on it, and all that crap SC would be known by everyone, not everyone minus a few hundred people that know nothing about computers and stuff... the kinda people that would rather sit in front of a TV all day, play GTA Vice City and pretend to have sex with prostitues... I asked people at my school why they like GTA VC so much, and they usually tell me that it's because you get to do prostitues, kill people, destroy cars, etc... sickening, that people would rather play GTA than SC because of that.
Hey wait, SC has stupid games like that already!

Warcraft 2 is as good as SC in the way of melee, btw. And I love the medieval theme.

I find that in terms of RTS games, having 3D graphics are kinda pointless. Of course, in big space battle scenes, controlling your ships on a 3D level is a must though, since the ships needs to move through all 3 axis. But in land based RTS like WarIII, unit are limited to two axis of movement, so 3D is pointless. Rather, they should have done it in sprites, which to me, seems to be the best choice for RTS games.

For what reason?
They're easier to make/modify/etc...
They take less space(memory and/or ram wise, I think...)
Easier to see...
Other?

SpaceBoy, look for a game called "Homeworld". It's a 3d space RTS. And it PWNS. If I had a better computer, I would be playing that game as much as SC.

As long as you're going fo HW, why not try Cataclysm, too?
If you said that because of his last post, though...
he said they're useless except in "space battles".

NOnoNOnoNO! Don't get cataclysm. It is a waste of money. Both HW and Cataclysm were made by different companies and Cataclysm was completely ####ed up. It's entire crap, and it's imbalanced.
But ... HW2 was made by the same people as HW and its as good.

Actually they have 5, counting Frozen Throne and Beyond the Dark Portal (expansions). Plus they have that World of WarCraft game...
WC is OK, i guess, but i prefer SC and BF 1942.

Warcraft 2 had 2 expansions, though I'm not surprised no one heard of the third. It was actually a collection of maps instead of the expansion you're used to thinking of.
And if you're counting WC2 and WC2 BNET as 2 seperate games, then the total runs to 7 games in the WC collection. Not including incomplete ones and scraped projects dealing with WC.

yah but I don't count the bnet one...they're basically the same, just a few extra maps and online play.

Yes, and Homeworld was one of the examples I was thinking of that the 3D engines really enchances it. Great game, though I should actually get a copy as opposed to watch friends play. Meh, my budget is all used on my robot at school, so, I really don't have much money for games.
