QFT.

All went down hill when they dropped Blizzard North. I could smell the decay on them when I played WC3. What an uninspired game that was.

I think you set your expectations too high, I thought Wc3 was a good game besides that, it's an RTS with up to date graphics from a genre most people liked. What more do you want? Maybe you're waiting for the game that makes your dinner and gives you a bj?

its a lot like sc1, but as ppl said with better graphics, some new units and play techniques.

some other good things about it is with multiplayer there is tiers bronze, silver, gold, platinum, etc which you will be ranked in as you play games. This makes it so if you do a random 2v2 your playing with/against ppl with approx the same level as you. This is a huge upgrade in my opinion because unlike sc1 your not grouped or playing against ppl which are total noobs or pro koreans.

I havent done the campaign yet, im a pvp person :P

If you enjoy multiplayer rts's no reason you shouldnt get it.

I ended up buying it yesterday, I definately approve, feels like picking up right where the original left off.

I never played the original, so it's definitely kind of a large learning curve for me at the moment. :/

If you believe starcraft 2 is a good game then maybe you should consider that the unit management structure is exactly the same as Warcraft 1.

You can do more with age of empires 2 and your unit formations and techniques then you can with Startcraft 2.

Dawn of War outmatches that game in every way except for a custom map builder.

^ maybe you should move your units in custom formations? Sorry you cant click a button and have the comp do it for you.

AoE2 is my rts game of choice.

But it's not unit formations that made the game. =)

High level of play in AoE2 plays alot like SC, tbh. Proxy buildings, expanding, using your buildings as walls, small unit skirmishes, using right unit counters, upgrading, etc.

Sounds like exactly like SC2. At least in Platinum and Diamond.
