Macro Mechanics Discussion Thread

[ArcherofAiur]

Btw, what does this have to do with macro mechanics? I've been wanting to close this thread for a while now. If you continue the off-topicness, I will finally have a reason to close it

I meant what reviews will say about the macro system specifically. I believe that this has been a wholely overlooked issue in beta. It has taken a back seat to more pressing issues like BNET 2.0's suckage and the ultraling. My perdiction is that upon release macro will once again rear its head and people will wonder why Blizzard didnt spend more effort improving it.


Here is a good example of what may be to come

Reviewers have no idea about RTSs or Starcraft in general let alone an opinion on how Macro Mechanics affect the game. Most likely they won't mention it or if they do they'll just say it's "cool".

In the case of macro mechanics.. Reviewers are going to really lay into SCII...and not just IGN, but all of the big reviewers. If they don't, then money has exchanged hands.

LOL! But really, what's the difference between SL and MULEs? Is it so deep of a difference?

The difference is Decision Making



Demo likes to say the Macro Mechanics have been nothing but fail. He is wrong. Orbital Command and Chronoboost have been incredibly great additions to the game.

The OCC is good. MULES and CB are not. I hate them.

MULEs and CB are awesome. They add so much to Starcraft gameplay. Im sorry your not good at them.
