Blizzard... as 1337 as everyone thinks?
hm_murdock:
Uh... naw, sorry.
I went and played Warcraft 3 again today... it still sucks ass. I remembered why I only played it a couple of times. It's because an 867MHz G4 with a GB of RAM and a fucking Radeon crawls, the units are as dumb as they were ins Starcraft (pretty dumb! they can't even STAY TOGETHER IN GROUPS), you're limited to only 12 units in a group, and other poor design problems.
As much as I want to like them, I can't. Starcraft was really great, and has decent performance, but the units are rock dumb. Warcraft 3 just sucks in every way.
Maybe Starcraft 2 will still be 2D sprites on a backdrop, and maybe you can have a decent number of units... and maybe the units will figure out how to hold formations, or even just how to be in a formation.
Oh well, flame me for having an opinion...
Blizzard ain't 1337

Okay, but I have an opinion about your opinion and it goes something like this:

What are you talking about? Unlike Starcraft, the units are excellent at staying in formation. You can even set it to two different modes. I don't know why you would say this.

You are limited to 12 units in a group on starcraft too, and think of the problems there would be if players could select as many units as they wanted. It would be unrealistic and it would probably cause a lot of lag. Yes there are some other (minor) design problems, but most of them will be fixed in the expansion pack which comes out in a month (its a lot easier to do just about everything in it, believe me I got the the chance to play the beta.)

Your opinion does not seem very well-founded, but I'm sure you "don't care" or something like that.

hey, Macman... sorry, dude. they ain't so hot.
It's sad when something made by M$ (the Age of series) is better. 30 units per group, selectable formations, holding formations, buildings that don't take up a ridiculous space.
No, I don't like blizzard's games that much. I like the action in them better than the Age of games, but no... even WC3's "formations" are a joke. Starcraft was "okay" when it came out. It's a fun game, despite its limitations, and it would run on anything from P60s and Power Mac 6100s up to the best. Warcraft 3 comes along and if you don't have a Cray, you might as well forget it.
Oh yeah, and WC3 is the slowest thing ever made by man. My friend can't run it well on a 2GHz P4 with a GeForce 4. WTF? Starcraft I can stomache because it doesn't eat resources... oh, and it's actually fun. Warcraft 3 ain't.
I'm sorry. I don't like their games that much. Oh yeah... and I can not like them as much as I please.
So... let me try to empathize. Lemme look inside here to see if I can... oh, no... sorry, nothin'.

Fine, if you wanna be an ignorant bitch then go ahead. I have many great memories because of Blizzard's games, as do many, and you can't take that away from any of us so just shut the fuck up.
Siplus:
dude, you're so full of shit...
if you can't run war3 on a 2ghz Geforce4, then i hope you have warrenty. it runs perfect on my 1ghz with a geforce4
hell, it even runs on my friends's 500mhz with a voodoo3!!
