    Newer != better,
    Graphics != gameplay.

    I myself was pretty disappointed with generals <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Generals is fun if you play with the right people. However, the pathfinding - if it exists - is horrible. Everything goes in single file during a long trek. Troops will group up to get airstriked by MiGs among other things and the GLA hero is worse than the USA Pathfinder unit. However, it is fun playing with a friend or two versus human opponents.

    Despite its obvious AI and pathfinding problems, it irons out in replay value if you play with or against human players. Computers are redundant but assuredly long game if you play against 4+. Human players usually don't last more than 10 minutes (in game) on the average.

    Get it, love it, cherish it forever (well not that extreme, but it is a great game)

    I know I'll be lynched, but I really hated starcraft. Couldn't stand it. Give me orcs, or give me death. Oh and Generals is good if you want a game with terrific graphics AND kickass gameplay.

    Graphics = wopw.
    Gameplay = exciting as watching paint dry and eating celery (for C&C Generals)

    StarCraft is a very good game.
    I think its even better than Tiberian Sun, but not maybe mp... TS's mp really was fun. I liked that you could ally with a friend and storm a base together ect.
    But StarCraft has better single player... because in TS its just like "Get to NOD'S/GDI's base and destroy everything". In StarCraft its some stealth missions (maybe some in TS, dont remember, but they arent fun their... if it was one thought).
    I like the species in SC too... But the marines are the best... because they have the über good tank.

    I sucked **** at SC and im not scared to admit it! My tactic was get those flying crab thingies then group them with hydralisc /or the other flying thinges and attack with that. It usually didnt work like that though.

    generals would be a lot awesome® if they just fixed up some AI stuff and put in a damn gamespeed bar.

    By your choice of StarCraft as an option, I'm going to limit my suggestions to strategy games.
    I'm also going to assume you've already considered WarCraft3 as an option.

    I don't play strategy games too much, but I've heard nothing but good things about Mideival: Total War and Shogun: Total War. Try www.totalwar.com and see which demos you want from their downloads section, and make your decision from there.

    I view anyone who has not played Starcraft with suspicion, as they are clearly not one of us.

    Starcraft is good but now days it is getting to the stage of I wouldn't bother unless you get it really cheap and in to single player missions.
  • SirusSirus Join Date: 2002-11-13 Member: 8466Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    But then again, DOOM is terrible at RTS games, Just watch him Command in NS !

    Starcraft is still the best RTS ever made.

    Generals has some serious pathfinding issues, I'll admit that. However the gameplay is slick and the wonderful diveristy of the teams is excellent. The GLA hero is great in the right circumstances; his vehicle snipe ability is so annoying. Hit Overlords if you see them ever.

    Also, SEXIEST NUKES EVER!!

    Never really liked StarCraft. I much prefered the Homeworld series.

    Starcraft....the game that got me into PC gaming...

    THAT is how good it is!
  • p4Samwisep4Samwise Join Date: 2002-12-15 Member: 10831Members
    Starcraft = TEH ROXOR.

    Best single player RTS missions EVER. EVER. Someone tell me I'm wrong, because I'm not. Supposedly WC3 has better multiplayer (I don't believe it, the single player I tried was just so cruddy I couldn't bring myself to try the mp), but nobody I've talked to denies that SC's single player campaign was the awesomest thing ever.

    And the multiplayer is of course nothing to sneeze at either. I'd still be playing now if Battle.net and my firewall didn't have such issues.

    My deepest, darkest secret is that I haven't actually finished Brood War yet...

    I guess you've not played Deus Ex either have you ?
