starcraft 1 required way more. starcraft 2 is just very noob friendly.
try doing chit like lurker pushes early game while expanding and macroing effectly against a terran that knows what they are doing. You literally become physically and mentally tired from it, or effectively using defilers late game against a terran. Chit will piss you off bcoz u can lose the game in a split second.
in starcraft 2 the game pretty much holds you fuking hand. no 1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a0a, no macro needed, no micro needed, just select your entire army and attack said object and do a minor bit of micro to win game.

Cool thread.
More or less agreed, but SC2 still does take a lot of skill to be good at. Comparing Broodwar to Heart of the Swarm is apples to oranges. Sure, same franchise; but two completely different games.
You're an idiot, or you're trolling.
I would say Starcraft 2 is by far the most difficult RTS and would definitely be in the top 5 mainstream games right now. As others have stated, you have to be doing a lot of things AT ONE TIME and be good at all of those things to be good at this game. It requires an immense amount of concentration, critical/quick thinking and strategy and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances in the matter of seconds. It's been called the modern day chess.

From someone who has probably spent more than double as much time as anyone else in here on Blizzard games, sc2 probably is the most difficult to master. Yes, brood wars was more difficult, but that's only because it had less hotkeys to work with. My personal favorite was wc3. Literally ruined my college career, but obtaining rank 1 on the east coast was one of the GOAT feelings. Still will never forgive Blizzard for ruining the AMM to cater to noobs. WoW and d2 were both amazing games as well. D3 was garbage.
RIP to Blizzard. The greatest video game company of all time. FU Activision.Last edited by Pyrodox11; 02-16-2014 at 08:18 AM.

lol, SC2 is cake mix compared to BW. In BW you couldn't just gather all protoss units in 1 group and a move. You could only group 12 units in a group. Control was actually incredibly difficult. Also when casting spells, you couldn't just select all your casters and cast, or else they would all cast, had to select one by one. Also could not put buildings in control groups, each worker had to be manually put on minerals when made, just everything is so much more difficult.

I disagree entirely. If it's 'too easy' by the 'communities' standards, why isn't everyone Grand Master, Master?
I remember one time we debated about Starcraft 2 (only for a few posts), you had intelligent responses if I remember correctly; you weren't just hating to hate.Last edited by JDM-EJ1; 02-16-2014 at 12:01 PM.
