I don't know if my tastes have changed or if it was the aforementioned changes to the core game play, but I was never able to get into WC3 or SC2 eithe. Which is odd considering how much time I poured into their predecessors.

Oh it's them.

Head to GOG and pick up "Total Annihilation" for $6 and you'll see what I mean. Yeah the graphics are a little wonky but it's fun as hell. I jsut spent $15 on "Command & Conquer: The First Decade" from amazon. Just wonderful. The worst thing to contend with in the good old games is some really goofy cutscenes.

No retarded attempts to build in plot trees or RPG elements (whatever that actually means.) Just great turtling and zergling rush tactics (well, ok. not JUST that.)

I love TA, it is a much overlooked classic.

I definitely couldn't get into SC2, but really it was only because it's been so long and they sold me 1/3 of the game. I really wish they would have kept more of the classic units in the game as well. Thought I do like some of the new styles of play.

If only you could combine SC1 and SC2, that would be a game.
