how do you a counter a fast cybran mantis rush as the Aeon? i always have trouble when that happens...especially if its a fast really good player

personally tho, star craft was good but old...simply kicks it in the balls for me...if they made an updated version would be good but its the game i played when i was like..7-10/11 years old and now i got bored of it....

Supreme commander i would say is a great game, personally i enjoy singleplayer, AI isnt much of a challenge but i like the characters and the scope and scale is beyond any game in memory as is the size of battles and maps and how powerful things are...to defeat the best players you would probably have to learn longer and harder strategies and tactics far greater to comprehend by most other games due to the incredible scale

things like reclaiming but not too much...building but not over economic stress, rushing but dont overdo it if your losing units..also its especially hard to play for me as the Aeon, theyre powerful late and perhaps mid-game unlike the Cybrans but from about 3 games i played today i lost due to early mantis rushes and my weaker weaponry wasnt up to such an early attack

More people where wanting to play a game which would let them be in the medieval times, unlike Warcraft, which brought an unreal fantasy which gamers weren't really into yet. Warcraft became famous only after it's first serious.

I play them both and it's up to preference on which one is better if you look at there average review score they are equal. I never argued that AOE wasn't more popular than Warcraft or that it wasn't better I just said warcraft is the god father of RTS because it was the first.

Warcraft 2 was the first RTS to win game of the year, that just sets warcraft title of founder of RTS even more.

Warcraft RTS serie 1-3+Expansions > Anything 😄

[Squeese in Starcraft between Warcraft and anything 🙂]

Numbers do not always matter. I saw a recording with one Marine, killing one burried Lurker (Of course, he used his HQ to see invisible) His micro was awesome! 🙂

Warcraft sucks.

Star Craft by far. Its like 11 years later and I'm still playing that game. You dont get a better RTS then Star Craft.

Your kidding me?

Nonbody was in Warcraft?

Hahahahahahahaha...so how you figure Warcraft 2, or Warcraft 3, all huge sellers.

AOE2 was awesome, but to think Warcraft didnt do well is seriously wrong.

If gamers werent in Warcraft's setting, we wouldnt have the 2 sequels plus countless expansions, and we wouldnt have World Of Warcraft.

Dirk, it wasnt Warcraft thats the founder of RTS. It was Dune 2 by Westwood Studios which created RTS. Warcraft was instrumental in making hugely popular.

why is starcraft so loved, i just get tired of it now, as well balanced and made it was its still old and its elements are old too, its gameplay altho unique is nothing compared to the grpahics and effects of COH which has great tactics or Supreme commander whos scope and scale is incredible and can cause intense games..but alot of headaches

Ok here is my plan of what RTS to buy so far. starcraft(already owend)
warcraft battlechest and possibly diablo battlechest. Old games yes but they will be prefect to work on the pc in my room witch currently dose not have internet and is a old 95.

Ownage

Cry more dumbass.

I'm looking forward to Command and Conquer 3

currently my choice RTS's are

-Starcraft : Brood War
-Command and Conquer Generals : Zero Hour
-Age of Empires II : The Conquerors
-Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne

I'd definately like to give an honorable mention to Warhammer 40k RTS's.. they added an interesting twist with the conquest points

Spidervlad, quit trolling around with your "I hate WoW/Warcraft" stuff. You do, that's great, but there's no need to go in threads about them just to post that. There's no point in doing so beyond trying to stir trouble and trolling is not going to be tolerated.

Pffft. I played SupCom at my friends house. Got bored with it after an hour and moved on...

Star Craft is much more fun, imo, despite it being old.

As DarkC pointed out. The game is old, so obviously the graphics and effects are not going to be good.

A game doesnt suck because its "old".

If you count proportionally to the game and the age the game was created at, Starcraft takes it by a landslide. ALOT of people still play Starcraft, and it is preety old... It's one of the names of a game you can never forget no matter what.

i wasnt implying it sucked, its jsut hard to belive its so populour after all this time, i was a fan many years ago and played it tooo much but a lot of strategy games have hooked me as well..as grand as starcraft is i would never say its the "single" greatest RTS game like many say
