My buddy just said that Starcraft is immensely more complicated than Alleg

My buddies, in a Gmail thread we maintain, were discussing Starcraft 2. I said I wasn't that excited. I then said "Allegiance > Starcraft... too bad nobody knows about Allegiance except me!"

Two of them work at MS, so they've heard of it. He then proceeded to tell me that "Me and David [the other guy] have played several full rounds of Allegiance. It is not an RTS, it's a space sim...." blah blah blah, and then went on to say that an average player would wear out the content of Allegiance "YEARS" before a player would wear out Starcraft.

I then proceeded to type up a massively nerdy rant defending my precious Allegiance.

But anyway, I thought that was pretty good. I told them to download R3 and log on with me some day and give it another whirl. I doubt they will, because it would instantly prove them wrong (I could have them comm vs aarm, rofl). But, you never know.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Starcraft isn't even that complex of an RTS, it has a nice ballance though between rock paper scissors and some of the nutso things they have been puting out lately. Makes for a fairly user friendly game that still has enough variation to be both challanging and interesting, which is why it's as popular as it is.

I played it again yesterday and still found it a lot of fun, may play it again tonight. Not many games after this many years you can say are still as entertaining as SC.

From a game perspective, I do prefer Allegiance, I just wish it had the population of SC.
