Whilst I liked Warcraft 2 (I so have to get a copy of that game) better, I still liked Starcraft, and Starcraft was IMO a better-designed game.

But the limit of 9 is better in WC2?Originally posted by Gaxx_Firkraag
As I said, the only thing I really hate about Starcraft (and this is huge for me) is the ability to only select 12 units at a time.
And about SC being a better designed game, well, thats because they worked out most of the problems with WC2, used it as a basis. Thus they used a sure fire design, improved it, and made it a hit. I personally think SC is the best RTS on the market. Nothing comes close (especially not any of the C&C titles. Sick of the Tank rush of those)
Meh, well, once I played C&C, I got used to the fact that you can select as many units as you want. Starcraft didn't have that. Alright, I'll admit, Starcraft is a great RTS. Just not the best.
That belongs to the original Red Alert. Tank rushes for life!

Nice to see there are some other RTS fans out there...Starcraft is a great game--I love those gooey plant aliens... Never played Warcraft though, maybe I'll check it out.
Also--surprised none of you have mentioned AoE--IMO the best of the RTS games. I really liked the single-player campaigns. However in multiplayer, I get squashed by powergamers immediately.
Another RTS that's fun because it's sorta different is Earth 2150.

AoE1 and 2 are great games. But i like fiction a lot better than non-fiction so i didnt find the stroylines very interesting. that and the fact that the gameplay is extremely fast and winning in multiplayer all came down to who could click the mouse the fastest. and all the races get pretty much the same units. unlike in starcraft or warcraft 3 where each race is completley different from the next.
