Was sc2 any good? Never got around to getting it
SC2 was a lot faster at getting quality games in. When I played sc1 in the early 00's, it was on the old battle.net where you had to create your own games. With that, you had to create an enticing name for people to want to click it, pick a popular map, hope that people join, and then do weird shit to make teams. None of that in SC2
The only maps people liked to play in SC1 were BGH and Top vs Bottom which kinda sucked. IMO they were not in favor for Terran which I liked to play. SC2 had many different maps that were random since it has a match maker.
Then you had to deal with the hackers. SC1 had a huge problem with that towards the end. Not even shit like map hacks either, really obvious ones that you could spot with replays. People stacking buildings (cannons mostly), getting money out of nowhere, and shit like that that.
