SC2 is far from dead, Legacy of the void still hasn't been released, of which I am most excited about that because I am a Protoss Player biggrin.gif. There are still professional tournaments being held, new strategies being created for HotS and plenty of people still playing. just look at White Ra, he's been playing HotS non stop and I've been watching most of his games. Dreamhack is in the winter and the prize pool is huge, MLG dallas just ended last week IIRC. I'm waiting for the day when White Ra comes to the US biggrin.gif hes been playing since Brood Wars!

You know how Crysis 1 used to be in every thread in OCN. Think of SC2 as Crysis 2 now. Forgotten. I played 6 moths SC2 Beta and now i did not even know about the current beta or when this exp is coming out because i lost interest 1 year ago. OCN talk about games like Dota 2 and LoL but SC2 has been forgotten. I want WC4. I just tried some SC2 custom maps and they are not getting any better.

go watch some youtube videos, you will be able to beat the game OK

** if you are talking about the last protoss mission that you're suppose to defend until you die, all you really need was massing colossi and cannons

It is no longer talked about by the majority doesn't mean it is forgotten. It is still being played by many.

If you only focus on the custom games, there's no doubt you would get such an impression because that was never SC2's main point. As you said, custom maps are still not as good as war3, so most people are still playing regular multiplayer. I ONLY played custom maps in war3, TDs, DOTA, some other weird stuff, you name it. However I found the regular game of SC2 to be just as interesting.

There are a ton of UI improvements and the amount of work it takes to actually balance the new units from the lowliest bronze to the best pro is actually incredibly hard. Any of you guys still play WOL?

Also: For all the people saying "OMG SC2 is dead" are the same people that never played more than 100 multiplayer 1v1s. That is where the game really shines. I hate to say it but the learning curve is so ridiculous I can see how most people actually never "get it" and never realize why it's such a fun game when you really learn how to play it. It's very similar to chess in that while it looks simple on its surface it's actually remarkably deep given the amount of strategy and difficulty in actually executing what you've seen.

just because a game is not talked about as much on OCN doesn't mean that it is dead. Check out all the youtube casters, and the professional streams. They still play everyday. It is too much for me to be a professional ( School, huge learning curve, difficulty) HDStarcraft and Husky upload a video every few days or something like that. I enjoy watching those videos because it helps me learn a little bit about HotS units before I do the campaign which will be interesting.


EDIT: Also, don't think that OCN is the end all be all about how popular a game is, it simply isn't a forum for games, more like technology related stuff.

You know, at first I supported Blizzard seperating it into 3 titles to provide more story, gameplay, etc. But not it has just taken far too long. I will probably have lost interest by the time the Protoss expansion comes out. Sadly it is not even worth be buying now with the internet I have in the UK, takes roughly 5min to load maps for a multiplayer game.
