In Response To: Re: Sweet. (masterskill)


: That's wrong. Saying sc doesn't have any sort of strategy is just so
: frustratingly wrong. You're wrong.

No, no, no. I didn't say there wasn't any strategy in Starcraft... I've been playing that game since I was a kid, and yeah, it has a shitload of strategy. Probably more than that 80 page document has, even. That game IS strategy in every button press.

The only thing in that game, and practically every RTS that I hated was the fact that in the end, if you're having a battle, it's just one blob of units against another. No formations or anything. Whoever has more, or stronger, wins. Even if they're all sitting bunched together. (well, if there's some Siege Tanks shooting the shit out of you, yeah, you spread them out to minimize splash, but that's the most of that).

Not like, say, even in an FPS. A dozen guys, all shooting at each other, hiding behind shit. And then one guy from red team flanks blue, kills a couple guys, and they're completely screwed, start getting separated and overwhelmed and red wins. I want THAT.

And I want an RTS where if you flank with a couple guys, or do a little pincer movement, that it'll make a difference. Not sure if Halo Wars will live up to my dream, because it looks like the combat is a bit slower, allowing for those little changes in position with small groups/individual units. And perhaps it'll make a difference. It might give someone with a more 'tactical' mind an advantage.
