What do you think of the difference between SC2 and WC3R?

SC2 doesn't suck. /thread

There's no point comparing the two.

Starcraft 2 launched as a major title made by a dedicated team, with full support and lots of content updates, including two big expansion packs, meanwhile Reforged is a failed attempt at remastering an old game by a smaller team, with content updates likely limited to minor tweaks and restoring cut features over the next couple of years.

The first will be remembered as one of the best Blizzard games in history, the latter... well, as one of their worst.

StarCraft II Update - October 15, 2020

Based on this update, SCII might be doing worse than Wc3 R. At least wc3R is not free to play (graphics), and its main draw has been non-blizzard content made by community. SCII, in contrast, is mostly about Bliz-made stuff like Coop commanders, which are getting axed for future content.

Yeah... well, they released a mega editor patch. What more could the game need? It basically has all it needs. What it actually needs, is community made stuff or rather a vital community.

Yea, but that is the problem, they do not really have a community around custom content. 90% of SC2 players play on blizzard-made stuff. The opposite is true of Wc3 (90% custom made content, melee is a small percentage).

Even of the SC2 map scene, it seems popular maps make it very difficult for newer maps to become well known, so that Direct Strike will probably continue to have a chokehold on the custom scene.

Also, their melee scene itself is funded by Warchests if I remember correctly, so even that will get punctured hard by this stopping of Warchest releases.

I thought this thread is to discuss gameplay difference and tactics used.

Starcraft 2 => science fiction, faster paced, no heroes, 200 food limit of armies and the plot is weaker/less engaging

Warcraft 3 => High fantasy, slower paced, heroes, 100 food limit and the story is more engaging than sc2

For SP you should play Wc3 and for MP you should play Sc2 imo
