i never played original cod but wow vanilla vs wow now = more time required to achieve things, not skill
SC1 to SC2 now = better mechanics and more advanced features available in current time as opposed to back then, so you're pretty much arguing that a lack of utility and features is good
u trying to be an edgy hipster gamer?
wow, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about in this post. literally everything you just said is either wrong or completely unimportant. allow me to educate you, since you seem to have absorbed nothing up until now:
1. vanilla wow took forever to level as well. there was no arena, so people spent MONTHS grinding bgs every single day to get R14. it was quantity (lots of bg wins) vs quality @ lvl 70+ (arena, which could get you glad mmr in under 100 games ez)
also, the main raids were 40 man, which took an eternity to get going and recoup after a wipe (running slow ass ghosts).
although i hate new wow, it still requires skill to get glad/any other notable pvp achiev. so what you said really doesn't make much sense.
sc2 has better convenience mechanics (workers, control groups being more than 12 or w/e)
what you failed to mention is that sc2 UMS games are shit. the system is setup like shit and has basically killed the mapmaking community. so many shit maps are 'featured' while great maps are left to rot because people never see them. basically sucks in every way.
and i am not at all surprised people think sc1 is better when it comes to gameplay. the micro battles were far cooler and less game-ending. you could have lots of little fights whereas a lot of sc2 games are decided very quickly in one huge battle.
i personally enjoy sc2 more, but i often find myself missing sc1 because it was a fabulously balanced and well thought out game.
yeah.
