One of the nice things about SC is that you get several games in one box. There are the SP missions, MP UMS games, MP PvP games and MP PvC games. Although similar, the latter two require a different mindset. A person who plays a lot of PvC will be handicapped in PvP games, due to the numerous "bad habits" acquired.
You must have someone else in mind. I was never good enough for such a challenge! Too bad the latest patch made most of the replays I've collected unwatchable (I would have to go back to an earlier version to view them). Otherwise, I could show you a few people who can handle such a game -). Then again, if you play like a computer, I might accept such a challenge on "The Hunters Gamei" map. I've never tried a 1v5 on that map, so I better start practicing -). ("Hunters-Gamei" is a better version of "The Hunters" map that can be readily downloaded on bnet. The start point balance issues have been fixed and it is the most popular map for skilled 3v3 PvP games.) Be sure to download and run the latest patches so that you can save and watch replays of your games. When you get around to playing some pvc games, you can learn the most by watching the replays. Of course, if you ever get to that point, then I expect you to invite me to join you!
I don't know how you could have ruined any of my games back then, since I didn't know what I was doing until a year or two after BW was released (BTW, some people might argue that I still don't know what I am doing.) =P. I have yet to play the SP games, but I have watched all the mini-movies. Some of them are quite entertaining =).
Hi Van! Yup, "RTS" is still a widely used term. Some of the WC3 trailers are quite well done. Too bad I can't say the same about the game.

PS to VD: I did receive a copy of your post from Magi and I sent you a message via icq, but shortly after responding my icq stopped functioning. I have not been able to get it to run since then. Perhaps it got tossed into the same category as WC3 on your comp -).

Quote:IIRC, I ruined one or two games that you were in I recently restarted the SP game since I'd never finished it and was curious what the story was all about. Besides, I just picked up BW from a bargain bin and so wanted to get back up to speed (or what passes for speed when I play an RTS )

Quote:I don't play RTS (they still called that?) any more against actual people, at least not until angioplasty is performed by the corner drug store. Of course, my bro gave me WC3 and I loaded it and... it doesn't work *sigh* ... it's not like I would have liked it that much I guess. Tho it looks to me like Diablo 3 and WC4 will be combined into something called WoW (or was it HuH?), so I better get to know WC3 I guess. Guess I'll try to make it work. -Van
