That said I am glad that you are enjoying the game,it`s great when someone gives you something that you actually use and play.

I liked that in StarCraft I could quickly build a freakin' horde and go after people or that my opponents would come up with a fantastic strategy based on the terrain and whup my rear Warcraft II and I were just too easy for me the AI really blew now with III...the AI is better no more easy wins for me Now to be fair I'm not a big fan of real time games cause honestly I'm not quick enough on the keyboard but I do enjoy them, for some reason I prefer the slower pace of turn based strategy games where I can think through things and plot the whole reaction thing is something I'm not too good at Civilization and Heroes come to mind I love the WarCraft III graphics...they are stunning the poke factor is still hilarious! _________________________ Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking.

It was very predictable and used surpassed technology. After the spate of games using 2/3 angles (which incidentally Blizzard did not create with Warcraft 1 as some assume, it was in fact Westwood with Dune II) I think the popularity waned somewhat. Warcraft III was for the devotees of the series and those caught in the hype. While it was still a hugely successful game, it failed to meet sales expectations. Blizzard has enjoyed the best reputation for quality, balanced and bug free games of all the publishers. This is their problem. They won’t release a game until they’re satisfied of its quality. Unfortunately for them, 3-4 years is a long time in the world of gaming, and technology and player trends continually leap frogs their output. By the time a game hits the retail shelves, it’s old technology and there are usually better alternatives. Diablo II is a good example against Baldur’s Gate II. It also affects the marketing side of the release. Launching a computer game is very difficult. Unlike the movie industry, the games industry doesn’t have deep pockets and can’t shelve a game until market conditions are right. Blizzard continually miss production and launch dates – by YEARS! I remember the Aussie marketing spend on Diablo II, booking media, retail catalogues, shirts, posters etc only to have Blizzard fail to release the game anywhere near schedule. Very frustrating and $100,000 wasted, but nothing compared to what was wasted in Nth America. Blizzards publishers, Sierra, Havas and now Vivendi Universal have all beaten their heads against the wall! I have Warcraft III t-shirts in my cupboard that where made in the USA 2 years before the game launched! Anyway, I’m waffling. Battle.net is a wonderful addition for entry-level multiplayer gaming and indeed has contributed to Blizzard’s success. Starcraft is STILL the most perfectly balanced game, one that I have enjoyed and will enjoy for many more years.

damnsuicidalroos Multiloquent Registered: Mon Feb 10 2003 Posts: 2167 Loc: Sydney NSW Australia	After having played Star Craft Brood War using Battle.net for the first time today I cannot but agree with the sentiments expressed by LordAndry and Bertho. It is great! The opponents are a heartless lot,even after explaining that this was my first day using it on line they still destroyed me in no time flat . I personally cannot find any joy in defeating another player in five minutes by quickly creating ten cheap fighters and then slaughtering workers. Enough sour grapes though. Having access to players worldwide is terrific. Having to change tactics to combat people rather than the computer is an enjoyable challenge that will take some time to adapt to.
