If youre strictly talking WoL, it was lack of unit variety and a meta that really favored turtling until you had a massive death ball and both sides would have one big engagement that would last 5 seconds, and then it would be over.
LotV is better in every way and has a lot more potential for harassment and constant smaller battles throughout the match.

Stupid characters.
Low tier music.

It isn’t
Take your meds, Pops.

Because Brood War is perfect.
You can't do better than perfection therefore the only way it could go was down.
Benjamin Morgan
It's a different game.
Evan Ramirez
Broodwar was hugely lucky, fucking no game is that balanced even with constant updates.
So sc2 either tries to add onto it which isnt going to to be good or build something new from the ground up
Parker Phillips
Broodwar being balanced is a bit exaggerated the game has a lot of imbalanced interactions that get balanced by your own imbalanced interactions and a community that expects the players to just be good enough to get over it.
Tyler Mitchell
Because it came out after blizzard realized that people (koreans) turned brood war into "e-sports" and they decided to triple down on it. Turning an enjoyable deep rts into an apm whoring nightmare.

I actually think it's better than Starcarft 1, the story was better, characters were better and the romance between Raynor and Sarah was sweet.
Bentley Wright
Broodwar is balanced with each faction having their own overpowered bullshit and ways to deal with everyone elses overpowered bullshit. This stands against the balancing philosophy of many modern games where they'll much more eager to nerf overpowered aspects.
Even then, the balancing is a long way from perfect and a lot of it comes down to mapmaking because different units and races can exploit certain map features.
Alexander Murphy
WoL was the best part of SC2. The rest was trash and went off to some stupid story line. SSJ Kerrigan is just fucking laughable.

>and the romance between Raynor and Sarah was sweet.
you disgust me
Brody Wright
The story sucked.
Gameplay was alright
David Barnes
>remove all of brood wars purposeful control limitations that increased tactics (in a game that is in actuality primarily RTT, not RTS
>throw out half of BW’s cool chess pieces for shit command and conquer units
Although SC2 is a deeper *strategy* game than BW when all is said and done (BW is basically a purely mechanical fighting game). It just wasn’t fun.
Nathan Allen
Try playing it again these days. LotV is free and much better

the races were all designed around multitasking so the potential was there.
a multitasking identity was never realized though.
they never solved the problem of how powerful it was just to attack-move a blob of units. or how powerful it was just to micro a ball of marines or stalkers. so there was not much incentive to use the more varied units.
the game was just too fast. units traveled too fast, burst damage was too high, everything was too fast. in brood was units got around slowly and often killed things slowly as well, so you could afford to split your focus and multitask a bit at times. in sc2 if you averted your gaze for a split second then 100 supply of your units was vaporized. the speed of the game punished multitasking and micro and incentivized pushing economy and deathballs.
Ayden Fisher
They didn't understand map making at all.

They did, LotV is far more multiprong based in general

Is this the RTS thread?
Why did no one tell me how great AoE2 is
I hadn't played it before this year and now I've been playing it non stop for months
The core design is perfect, all others RTS feel stale compared to it now
I've been trying to play Brood War again this week but I just wish I'd be playing AoE2 instead
Jordan Mitchell

No

No

No it was awful. Especially the end of LotV.
Gameplay was fine, but everything else just keep getting worse. Damn shame.

I'm actually playing Wings of Liberty right now, almost done with the campaign. I'm still pretty new to the RTS genre, what else should I play? Is Company of Heroes any good?
Jason Peterson

They completely dropped the ball on most of the sound effects.

I never touched any of the expansions after that shitshow.

Music was the only good thing about Starcraft 2. Blizzard may be fucking horrible game developers now but their music is always fucking top tier.
Dominic Robinson

WoL was great in terms of online play but every expansion that followed was a complete shit show
