Even Red Alert was much better than SC.

red alert had 2 sides who's units were very similar. half the techs in red alert are never used in a competitive game. even with only 2 sides with very similar units, red alert was not very well balanced. red alert did not add that much to the original command and conquer. units, buildings, tech tree, resources were pretty much the same. and then red alert 2 comes out couple years later and can you imagine it? its the same damn game.

starcraft took RTS in a whole new direction. 3 sides with drastically different play styles and units that remain the most well balanced RTS to this day.

No.
 
I like Starbucks cause I don't pay for my drinks. I got two girls at work who buy me a drink almost everyday but don't accept my money in return.

I see your point and I'm convinced.
 
Look man, you give no substantial reasons for starcraft sucking, so youre basically just asking to get flamed. You will lose this poll, starcraft in fact DOES kick ass, you just fail to see it. Honestly, it's the only RTS I ever liked, and still play once in a while.

^most educated response I've ever seen, heres to insightful and intelligent lifers!!!^
 
I enjoyed starcraft quite a bit but Now I have been playing Rise of nation and lets not forget Gallactic battlefront (starwars RTS)

and it was one of the few games that had great anticipation that was all it was hyped to be. Howmany times have we been let down in the past?

I have not played in a while but I may install it tonight

ARM owns. I got for air domination because the ARM can build extra fast.

Fleet of Thunders, Hawks, and Brawlers. Hawks fly fasts take out anti-air, brawlers own ground units, and thunders bomb buildings. With FARKS and 10 advanced air craft factories, I can pump out aircraft so FAST.

I thought it sucked when it was first released and I think it sucks today inspite of the Blizzard fanboys who claim it is the greatest game of all time.

I think the fact that half of south korea plays and buys potato chips with zerg on the package is a greater indication to its sucktitude.

It's great. You suck.
 
it was really annoying how the space marines would always shoot at the wrong things.

I played both, it was the pioneer of true mass online playing, perhaps diablo took that crown actually.

But I must say that it was superior to Red Alert, the user interface was better.
