What Starcraft 2 was suppose to be

Fucking Blizzard

The doodad destruction, repairing and housing of soldiers from Red Alert. There are a huge amount of doodads in starcraft which serve no purpose.

Wha… Christ. This isn't "StarCraft Clone", this is "Vengeance of Xel'Naga", a mod made by group of amateurs, willing to show their vision of SC2. And it was released long before SC2:WoL was even announced.

OP is a faggot. Nothing to see here; move on.

I am now stuck imagining starcraft 2 with the general gameplay mechanics/map size of total annihilation.

That would've been a nice step in the right direction.

oh god

Protoss would have some nifty mechanics and Terran could get fuckhuge cannons.
God damnit

What exactly was wrong with the gameplay of SC2, exactly?
I found it was a vast improvement on 1 and a good deal of which seemed in line with the lore of the series.
Protoss being able to warp in on a pylon field seemed like a natural progression.
Nydus canals now don't need pre-existing creep they can just be spawned anywhere really.
You have units now that can freely go over terrain and terrain actually matters more.
etc etc.

The only black mark, in my opinion, is the campaign. The story.

It may have been a vast improvement to 1, but 1 was also shit.

So then Starcraft itself is shit by that logic.

yes, it's not even that good of an rts

Aside from aping lore concepts from Warhammer 40k, yeah.

Everything from pathfinding, unit design, spawn speeds, map design all the way to the lobby being design around fast competitive play.

In more detail
list goes on and on.

Oh. And what you just said about pylons and nydus worms is exactly part of the problem.
Faster everything from across the map. Some people think it adds depth, but in reality it devalues units and devalues positioning.

Nydus Canals were used to transport units between your own bases, typically from your further back bases to your more frontline ones. Nydus Wurms were only ever used to attack bases.

Really their biggest fuck up.

This shit would have been way better. Massive sprawling battles across multiple fronts for large volumes of resources. The air being filled with vikings dogfighting with mutalisks. Battlecruisers that take a massive amount of time and resources to construct but absolutely dwarf even the largest building and have a laser battery that can shred air units. Collosi so tall that they actually step on regular infantry like they are nothing. Giant terran siege lines of bunkers and tanks being charged by utralisks.

And most importantly, it'd have much more room for actual tactics as opposed to gook clicking.

Don't forget about Oversnatch.

I guess they're hoping for Blizzard to do exactly that! pun_spicboy.png

For the first several years you had to pay to even watch tournaments, so no community growth happened. And the gameplay was shit because they killed micro by making macro so easy. Even if you pull off a brilliant play, the person will just make a new army in 2 minutes. Safer just to expand and build the boring ass units Blizzard continued to nerf to generic hell.

you what

Is nova ok?

...

I was always kinda disappointed that Raynor didn't tap that ass during Wings of Liberty.

Would've made an awesome "we're trying to kill each other but we also fuck from time to time" dynamic.

But nooo, Jimbo had to go emo for Kerrigan…

Recreate it in Supreme Commander then.

The problem with this argument is your APM has to be less than half what it needed to be in Brood War. Those are more examples of there being less boring downtime where you're just waiting for shit to build that was prevelant in most of the RTS of the 90's.

Simple fix, make resources more available, unit caps less restrictive and maps much more expansive.

Except that doesn't fit into Blizzard 20-minute slugfest games that they wan for esports.

Blizzcuck shit should be a bannable offense go to reddit and prep your bull clintoncucks.
