    Anyone play either? The one thing I love about the series is that they don't change the core concepts, just introduce more units/attacks.

    Games like Pokemon (in my opinion) have been ruined by developers messing too much with the amazing original concept.

    I'm not much of FPS player, but action games like these are nice, since they rely more on strategy than combat itself.

    My favorite race to play with is Protoss, then Zerg, then Terran.

    Starcraft is a great game, I still play it when I go to LAN parties.

    I CAN'T STOP PLAYING IT (StarCraft 2).
    My current addiction is heavy 4gate 'toss play.

    Protoss fanboi here too. I got it for the SinglePlayer, I'm not that competitive in multiplayer games. I played a bit but after some games with T everyone just goes Mass MMM, which just pisses me off that they can counter pretty much every unit you throw at em with 10 stimpacked marines and a medivac above em... Also the taught that they can drop them wherever they want makes me go turtle mode and that ain't working...

    They hardly mess with it, that's the problem. I'm waiting for a new Ranger game, those broke the cycle of the little 8-bit characters.

    The trick to beating MMM is to keep the pressure early and out macro-ing him. I'm only just learning how to macro effectively, but it has helped me a TON with my PvT games.

    Also, unit counters (NOT TO BE USED AS A MOAB) that are effecitve (WITH SUPPORTING ARMY) against MMM are High Templars (Psi Storm DEMOLISHES marines) and Collossi. I suggest a heavy Zealot front with Stalker/Sentry support when using either of those units.
