To all those who aren't putting SC as their first, why are you here then

...people that are not pationate about Starcraft...

Because if Starcraft is not your number one favourite game of all time, you are incapable of being passionate about it. Interesting.

But to return to the topic at hand, in no order:
- Battlefield
- Dawn of War
- Half Life
- Left 4 Dead
- Starcraft
- Supreme Commander
- Team Fortress 2
- Unreal

No, this is obviously not what I meant. My post was directed to Xyvik more than anyone else considering:

To be perfectly honest, Starcraft isn't even my favorite RTS.

and probably StarCraft.(regarding his favorite games)

Again I must say that it's fine if him or anyone else don't enjoy the game as much as others.

Actually you have it backwards, Sandwich. Legacy is known as the place for LORE lovers, not the competitive people. If I enjoyed SC competitive, which I despise, I'd spend my days at TL.

Yes indeed. That still doesn't change the fact that even though most of our members never were competitive players (and most likely enjoy more the universe than the gameplay), the SC2 section is still way more active than the lore section. Furthermore, the majorities of all the SC2 threads have gameplay related topics.

And just because we aren't into SC MP doesn't mean we don't know anything about RTSs, balancing, or what could possibly work in SC2.

Though I agree with most of this, I believe that if you never played SC MP you are missing some key factors to understand how the sequel's MP should work and be played. Sure, a lot of other RTS have come but once you actually play SC MP and really get into it you realize how much different it is from every other RTS imho. For example, just adding a new race brings tons of work for competitive players. Of course this is obvious for any rts players but you don't really understand how big this work load really is unless you take the time to get competitive in SC MP imo.

After all, SC2 is supposed to be its own beast.

It will be different but from what I can see atm, the core gameplay is the same.

In any case, you should give MP a chance Though I agree that it is really not welcoming at first but once you start getting into it, it's more addictive and fun than it looks!

Well, reguardless of "type" of fan, I guess one could say that we all have to play the game in some way or the other.

As for the rest - Lore forum seems to mostly cover only the written aspects, but topics reguarding the visuals of StarCraft (artwork, unit design, etc.) are also in the SC2 section.

-Free Space 2

Oh yes! *add to list*
IndependenceWar = My favorite space warship sim of all time.
FreeSpace 2 = My favorite space fighter sim of all time.

Unfortunately the "glory days" of the space sim genre is pretty much dead.
I have yet to come across a game that even remotely measures up to those two franchises.

In the case of Free Space, I was sad that it ended at two games given the second game's epic cliffhanger. I was still into Wing Commander back then, but when THAT got stale, Free Space comes along and just spat all over it and thus I never looked back. The Erinyes and the Terran modified Mara are two of my favourite fighters.

Just moved into my new house and got my internet back, woohoo! So yes, forgive me for a minor bit of NecroThreading, but I thought I might tackle this really quick.

I was actually quite active in SC MP during the years closely following Brood War. I was never terribly good at it, although my Zerg constant pressure strategies kept my win numbers higher than my losses. I gave up on SC once I saw the disturbing trend of everything devolving into three unit BOs. I despise that portion of SC MP. Otherwise, I actually do enjoy SC MP, as long as it's not the semi-pro scene but more the casual type.

My passion about SC stems from passion for most RTS: balance and strategy. I want to make sure SC2 doesn't devolve into three unit BOs, and that I can get very passionate about
