Starcraft Haters Club

The same can be said about TA. :P

I did not get into them too much for single play (Dune2 and the like were the ones I single played the most (and C&C and Warcraft 2 I guess((

Starcraft and TA are my favorites for multiplay (With AoE and AoK not far behind)

I stay away from MP, for the reason that everyone does the same thing. In the case of TA, this mean Flash rushing.

TA Mutator has some great AI for the game, which makes those 10 team SP skirmish games. God Bless 256x256 TA maps!

Since when was this a comparison of Starcraft and TA? Good point though.

Why else would someone post a thread called "Starcraft Haters Club"? It just screams frustrated TA fan to me.

I am happy for you, it's really good idea to stay away from battle.net. Starcraft has stole years from my life, it's the most addictive and definately the best RTS ever made, not one of the best. People who even compare C&C and starcraft really have no idea the depth sc has. C&C is a big joke like whole of westwood.

Oh and if somebody reading my post and thinking about buying starcraft, I recommend not to, the multiplayer will ruin your life, you can't have both. If you are into single player, then it doesnt matter what rts you buy, they are all the same if you only play sp.

Yes, Dinodoc the people who play BGH are inferior race, and will be newbies forever . Most of them won't ever find out what sc is all about.

Tiny, have you ever played Total Annihilation or Warlords Battlecry II? Unlike StarCrap, those have a good interface.

Playing an RTS with a bad interface is like using an OS with one mouse button or a browser with no mouse gestures.

There, there St Leo. The pain you feel will get better in time. It's ok to admit that SC was/is better than TA.

I did play Total Annihilation , but i wasnt competive and experienced rts player then, and i only played single player so never got into it. When I got good at sc and really understood the fun of rts, I figured that I should try other more simple rts games too, maybe they'd offer something too. Then I remembered TA, figured maybe I try it out but never got the chance (had no real reason to get my arse up go to store and forgot ). So could you please tell me what's so good about TA? Is the MP any good? How experienced are you at _MP_ in TA(to make sure that you can back your words)?
And finally and most importantly, I have to admit i dont remember TA's interface... but I can't imagine how it possibly could be any better than sc's? Some light on this matter plz, you can also tell about the bc II interface but I don't even know the game.

I have never played TA, but SC is still crap.

I know most people didn't like the interface in Force Commander (I did anyway), but you have to admit, the concept of Command Points is better then digging for Metal or somthing.

The first time I tried TA online, the other guy had a hack even though the game said no cheats, he flash rushed me using that.

Of course I had some satisfaction... I selected all of my units, and pressed CTRL+D.
