Desert_Eagle25 Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 Thats just one game. Look at Wc3, the ONLY, I REPEAT ONLY unbalanced unit the game is the Huntress. Everything else is sublime.
DukeLeto Posted August 8, 2002 Author Posted August 8, 2002 Yeah, because in the WC games, the units for each side are the same with different names and graphics. ::)
Gigaettin Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 i just got WC3 for my bday, and ive been playing it and i dunno theres something about it, that just makes it sucky, its just basically makin lotsa units then charge them in, see u comes out best. In emperor theres so mny different ways to defend and attack, but in warcraft, bah its just boring.So apart from the support i think westwood win all the way their games are far more entertaing (apart from RA2, i hate RA2)
Desert_Eagle25 Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 And have u even played on Battle.net? the Battle.net battles are far different from the single player ones. And in Wc3 the races are diverse...each totally different from the other...
Terror Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 Westwood doesn't make patches cuz they don't care about their customers and they have no idea of what balancing means when you compare it to blizzard. They don't seem to find a way to change the game so that ppl will not build only one unit to rush with and they've never heard of upgrades, gameplay and support.Oh yeah, and did i mention that they don't give any support? They don't make extra maps, patches or help their customers with problems(btw, E:BFD even had an install problem. Some pc's need a patch to install the game... how desperate can westwood get!)And not to forget, they don't give support.P.S. They don't give support
TMA_1 Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 You cant compare these games. Sheesh I like arguing but when you do it, do it about something that means something.lol Westwood and blizzard make totally different styles or rts. Its not a matter of which one is better but which one you prefer.
DukeLeto Posted August 8, 2002 Author Posted August 8, 2002 Oh, come on TMA_1, you're no fun. ::)Yeah, War3 is just a war of attrition: capture more expansions and stop your enemy from it, and you win. There's no common ground.
Nyarlathotep Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 DukeLeto, about the "no balance patches", I should have said that differently.. 'not all patches are for unbalencies".btw, you're only referring to one game, you might want to check out Diablo II patches ;)
DukeLeto Posted August 8, 2002 Author Posted August 8, 2002 I don't play Diablo or Diablo II. i'm not really into RPG's. I prefer RTS games...I guess that's kinda what ruined WAR3 for me, (along with that stupid group cap) that thing about it being a "Role-playing Strategy". Total bs.

Total bs.You can't judge neither Blizzard or Westwood on just one game. I thought this discussion was about companies, not just one game.
DukeLeto Posted August 8, 2002 Author Posted August 8, 2002 4 games for Blizzard. Every WarCraft is the same: Multiple sides, but they all have the same units with different names and images.
TMA_1 Posted August 8, 2002 Posted August 8, 2002 Well you see nyar... this is not a constructive thread.lol
DukeLeto Posted August 8, 2002 Author Posted August 8, 2002 Well you see nyar... this is not a constructive thread.lolNo it's not. ;DBut it's still fun, and it lets people let off steam where it's OK, instead of forcing at least semi-constructive threads to be locked because of the flaming.
Navaros Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 saying unit caps "adds strategy" is utter hogwash.the food cap and the group cap KILL strategy, along with the horrible "upkeep" system.these things mean that if you lose a very small part of your army, you are dead, period. The Winner of a game is decided by who wins the first very small battle. That's retarded! That's not strategy. In Emperor, if I lose one part of the map, I can use the rest of my units to re-strategize how to take it back. In Emperor, you are very much still in the game if you lose a good chunk of your army after an instense battle. In War3, if you happen to lose just one small enounter, the game is over. That is NOT strategy. It's simply a matter of who is able to mass more, and more powerful units within the restrictions of the caps. *Only* the outcome of that one small battle determines the Winner of the game: resulting in Blizzard games requiring NO strat at all. In Emperor, you need to have *skill* to win. You need to think. You need to be multi-talented. You need to damage the enemy in more than just one way. War3 takes all those great concepts and tosses them right out of the Romper Room (to make room for the 2-4 yrs of age theme that dominates War3, I suppose)i am happy blizzard supports their games, now if only they could stop making *crap*...
Gigaettin Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 And have u even played on Battle.net? the Battle.net battles are far different from the single player ones. And in Wc3 the races are diverse...each totally different from the other...Yes ive played on battle.net and i liked the layout of it, but thats as far as it goess, i thought it was boring.'Hey ive upgraded a building''woohoo''ive got loadsa units, think i'll just attack move, destroy everything in their path''yeh no need for micromanagaing'' O LOOK THEY'VE KILLED EVERYTHING''yeh that was boring'
Gigaettin Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 Hey dont get me wrong, i hope it grows on me, i dont wanna of wasted
d3m0nger Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 gig ur right warc is boring, warcraft is just like, HEY I GOT 2 UNITS MORE THEN MY ENEMY LETS ATTACK !!, 2 sec later, u won the battle coz u got 2 units more, and usually in a 2v2, 3v3 etc,... its always a dubble rush attack, how boring is that? naa i like emperor way more.
Desert_Eagle25 Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 Rigghtt. Maybe u guys just arent good at it...? :)
Gigaettin Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 nah, i can hold my own, but Warcraft man its just the same, i suppse since i played emp. theres so many ways to defend and attack and then goin back to build up ur units, smash smash, isnt really agreeing with me...
Terror Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 ok lock this thread already.. it is boring it sucks ass and everyone gives stupid reasons of why either blizzard or westwood games suck
thomas Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 You guys have really no reasons that you've but to think war3 sucks. so lock this thread please
DukeLeto Posted August 10, 2002 Author Posted August 10, 2002 LOck it? Why? Oh, all right, if you're gonna whine your butts off about it... ::)
