Campaign Vs Melee!

[Silly Lil Ant]

Why is it that we all like downloading campaigns and not Melee or Altered Melee Maps? or is it just me?
I've found that campaigns can get hundreds of downloads within a few days of first upload, but Melee maps struggle to get as many.
This is probably a bit silly because I think I know why but oh well.

So, tell me what you think! Why are Campaigns more popular than melee maps?

If you disagree prove it, by downloading some new Melee Maps! =)

for me it's the story aspect of the campaigns. i love story's i love lore so campaigns are rather more interesting to me.

It's easier to play, you just plug it in your map folder and start warcraft, no need for waiting people and you can discover all the map around and everything is much nicer made. Also not all people play multiplayer.

So true. And if you play multiplayer, all can't host for some reason. And it's hard to find pepople to some random map.

The reason is that any game, no matter how good, gets old without variation after a while. While Blizzard's melee races are the best I have encountered to date, it gets boring playing melee over and over and over... we've been doing it since 2003. So we are done with melee. Campaigns, on the other hand, will often give someone a different play every time they download one, and so they will be much more varied than a melee game. That is the answer.

agree. even the games you thought are the best, when you play the same game over and over, it somehow gets boring. melee always has the same reason for playing, destroying someone's bases and structures, while campaigns tend to add a little spice to the destroying bases and most of the times has conditions other than destruction.
