I just dug out my SC and BW cd's, I'm so frigging hyped. 1.18a coming in a few days, and with that the Starcraft Anthology will be FREE!

Remastered will be able to play BW1.6 replays even. I wonder if I can find some old replays that I'll be able to watch in 4k!!

Blizzard did something right by the gamers this time, not just right for their bottom line.

I take it this means Blizzard is finally accepting that Starcraft II fucking sucked balls compared to the original. One of many day 1 purchase mistakes I've made.

[FerrariEnzo]

cash grab!

Who wants to bet they will do the same with warcraft... I still love the original and expansion.. haha

[twitchyzero]

like Age of Empires II HD, this is how you do a remaster and not ruin a classic
support modern systems and leave the gameplay exactly as it was

[Hehe]

I hope they don't touch anything except the graphic. The "Carrier has arrived" sound in SC2 is fucking weak sauce.

Anyone who said SCII sucked is because they where a bronze league NOOB!

[FN-2199]

4K OVERWHELMING.

Game devs definitely know how to hit our soft spots these days with HD remakes and re-releases

Love both games. But BW had small skirmishes that made the games more interesting. Where as in SC2, a lot of times it's just a build up of one large fight and then it's gg.

Yeah I enjoy both but they do play quite differently. Micro always meant more in BW and provided you were better at your opponent you could win outnumbered fights and matchups that on paper wouldn't be winnable. SC2 was much more chess-like where the mistakes in unit composition or tech or even just macro failure would doom you to losing because X units will 90% of the time simply beat Y units. We'll see how much skill I've lost over the years ha.

[FerrariEnzo]

SC2 had too many units for me to remember who can counter who...

SC/BW was way more simpler... but the unit limit sucked.. haha everyone rushes to max out their units..

Back in those days....... Battlenet - 1800-1000 as Marshall Placid. Reminiscing.

Can't wait.

hmmm no..

sc2 sucked because of the UI layout.... it felt lonely and not userfriendly compared to wc3 and sc1 BW battle.net style

chatrooms were the shit back in the days... and clans etc


sc2 felt like "ok click this button and solo queue ladder"

nothing fun to it imo



also, the team fights and micro were more interesting to watch in BW

[Reeyal]

SC1 and BW were more focused on micro.
SC2 has so much automation in unit and build controls to make the game more user friendly...

Best UMS map was dirty tank defenders. was never able to unlock that last level to see the whole image on the mini map :alone:

To this day I still wonder if the image is actually a girl or a troll image of a tranny

here's a plot hole that I never understood. If the Zerg can infest Kerrigan with all her psionic abilities, why can't they just fold her DNA into the swarm and make multiple kerrigans? that's what the zerg do right? they take abilities into their own and then replicate it.

what i really want to know is what the zerg were doing to her inside that chrysalis. Judicator Aldaris did say she was infested to the core :ifyouknow:

Yes, I have, if I remember correctly, a few of them anyway...

Cheat codes, bah!

Try 2 or 3 versus 1 (me) on Bloodbath, for fun.

Those were the days.

[ziggyx]

I tried. Some UMS maps had protection on them or required a 3rd party program to edit the maps I think. Lol

[Spoon]

That feeling when you rushed and end up ahead of your ally who didn't do anything. :ohgodwhy:

Yes, I have, if I remember correctly, a few of them anyway...

Sure. you know what happens though right? worker rush. GG dawg.

[Marshall Placid]

Good point.

Never happened though.

I think what might have happened is that while the workers come, I would have gathered enough minerals to counter the worker rush.

But, in any case, the worker rush never happened.

bought this last night pretty much solely because of this thread. played a few UMS games tonight, my goodness what a nostalgia trip. thanks revscene :megusta:

also incase you guys didn't already know, pressing f5 in game reverts the graphics back to the old version

[Vansterdam]

wish there was more of a UMS selection. most people just play some sort of defense game

[muteki]

omg. why did i not know about this. much buy now!

[ZN6]

does UMS maps from the old SC still transfer over to the new one? I used to love defend (not the typical line defense game) the temple UMS. so many hidden features in that map.
