| | | Warcraft 3's a great game if you like RTS, but don't expect it to be like Starcraft or anything. If you wanna get good you gotta be micro intensive, it can be a huge pain in the arse. Most players, good and bad though, end up playing a lot more custom/use map settings games over the actual melee though. |

| | | easier to learn, and simpler to get good at. Still takes brains to master. WCIII is really tough against other players unless you are very good with the hotkeys and such is all. Faster clicking and such.

| | | I liked Warcraft III, along with WC I and II. I dont LOVE it cause fantasy-would games like that arent too appealing to me.
I'd say I like more 'realistic' games, like alot of the FPS and C&C Generals.
I'd admit, I play C&C generals: zh alot more than I played WC III; WC III is a superb game with a great story line and innovative graphics, which C&C Generals would need more of.
I hate the unit cap though in WC III !!!!!!
I love Starcraft!! I'd definitely would totally be into Starcraft II if it ever comes out. I'd say Starcraft would be a great game to play even today, many people still play it online (I believe). One highlight in WC III was the easter egg in which you can control a Zerg unit.

| | Zerg in WCIII? Never heard o' that one. I'll have to look for that 
As cool as WCIII is, I think I'm still partial to WC II. Just like C&C: Generals is a good game, but I much prefer it's predecessor Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge.
Starcraft can be found for under $10 generally, so I'd suggest grabbing that, Sixkings. Definitely worth your time to try out. It's basically the RTS that all others have been judged against.

| | Right on! Thanks, RdLdr. Hadn't gotten around to Googlin' that one yet (don't have WCIII currently installed, so it wasn't high on my priority list). Bookmarked for future Hydralisking, tho'

| I'm still playing StarCraft...not online though. I am trying to beat the Protoss campaign and then move onto Brood War. I really want to know what happens to Kerrigan at the end of that one, as I heard this greatly limits the potential storyline of StarCraft 2. (Don't tell me, though)
I love C&C Generals as well. I only played the AI though. I found if I play as China, and get about 15 Dragon tanks, 5 with gattling canons, 5 with bunkers housed with rocket launching soldiers, and 5 with propaganda towers, I would have a virtually indestructable, self-healing force. Seems like a very unfair advantage. Which side do you usually play?
