Ironic, but True? and other stuff

[Lwek]

Isn't it weird that the rigged mass maps always get played the most?
But then I spent time thinking why people like playing this map and I thought of it. Society today created us with the message "killing is cool"
Usually the game host of some rigged mass map will most likely be the player with the rigged unit(marine or ghost...) Because they like seeing their rigged unit "kill" things.
Defense maps have also incorporated this message. The old days, it use to be 30 units fly to the end and you try to kill it. Today, it's a few units are created every second and they all try to fly to the end.
Almost every bound has units created and killed instantly...
Most of the melee maps these days are money maps with people that just pump out huge numbers of 1 or 2 units.
Evolves maps is the only map that I know of that has been around for the longest time. The "killing is cool" factor.
I'm a victim of this, too. I admit it. Macro-Management is way much better than Micro-Management.

I've always been thinking of ideas for "The Perfect Scenario" Basically a map that can be won but like Diablo 2, there will be harder level you have to beat, Can never get boring, Totally balanced, etc.
Don't know if I'll ever get to it but it is fun to think of ideas.

Just my ideas and stuff.

Agree? Disagree? Questions? Comments? Concerns? Compliments? Gripes? Complaints?

I don't expect people to reply to this thread. I just want people to read it.

I TOTALY AGREE our world theys days have made us power hungey (excuse my spelling) we awlays want to do something liek kill kill and the losers that host rigged maps well i blame one person BUSH
if this was off topic sorry

Btw yeah an rpg thats hard like Demon Incubus (awsome game) would be fun to see again just not a basic copyed story line

 

[Bolt Head]

You can't seriously think that is Bush's fault? Are you stupid?

 

[X-traT(OD)]

LOL. Ya i agree with everything but the bush thing. lol. bot_heads comment made me laugh. But ya. the old turret defence and stuff was classic. Now its just kill, blood, kill, blood. It's mostly because of Al gores consistance of being stupid i think.

 

[ShaftedTwice]

Yeah, all the maps played are all like that. But in the past month or two i havent seen a single hacker on SC Bnet.. (although that part was a little off-topic)

 

[panthr_dude]

yeah people just think of winning and killing cause they're all crappy and sucky on SC...tahts why they cant win so they have to rig the game up
of course you havent seen any hackers becasue of the new patch...but sooner or later...there will be a new hack taht will come out...or it probably is out already...

What, did he pass a "No Mass Attack Left Behind," act? You, sir, are a dooche bag.

What Master Virus said goes hand in hand with another topic: how many good maps are often shunned because they take time to adjust to, and how shitty maps that only require a 10 second attention span gain popularity.

Society is stupid.

 

[Taligaro]

I agree, and disagree...

On one hand I love RPG maps that take HOURS to beat, are hard as hell and maze-like.

On the other hand, I do enjoy the 'mass-blood' maps like the "Fireworks" map done a year or so ago. I got a new PC and forgot to take all the maps off the old one and put them on this one, so I lost all my RPG maps, which pissed me off because I had a dozen or so 'perfect' RPG maps that I couldn't stop playing.

People that create maps like that Kerrigan(sp?) having sex one need to be shot. Everytime I would see what maps were being played, that map and others like it were all I saw and no matter what map I made, nobody joined. I finally broke down and 'played' it to see what everyone was soo interested in. I wanted to jam toothpicks in my ears after a few seconds of that crapy map.

And Porn maps. Those maps are getting rather popular, well before I think.
Porn and SC don't mix. COME ON PEOPLE, PORN IS NOT MEANT TO BE WITH SC.

 

[Bolt Head]

Duh it's rated Teen. It would be rated Adult if porn was MEANT to be with it (that would be weird)

 

[Renzokuken]

I thought the Kerrigan having sex with Duke may not have been such a bright idea. But the maker certainly exploited unit sounds and movements, kudos to him.

I think you are reading into it too much. I reckon people play those maps because they are so easy to play.

I remember when VizjereiMage first got SCBW, he really enjoyed Evolves 2003 because he was good at it. He just got SCBW and he was immediately good at a madness map. Why? Because they are the easiest maps to play, that are available.

People want to win, they don't care how, they just want to. I don't think it has anything to do with blood and killing

 

[SpX]

Yeah, Renzokuken I agree with you about people always wanting to win no matter how they do it. If they have to take the time rigging a map then they will do it. I get how they want to win, but it's not like it goes toward your record or anything. If they really wanted to win just play one game and get good at it. Lwek, I think you are right about how everything revolves around killing.

[thegrim_reaper]

you know guys i agree with pretty much everything thats been said here (except the bush thing that was off topic and retarded) and ya know, one of my friends on b.net seems to be brain washed more than anyone ive ever met... if hes not good at a game right away he either A: abandones it imidietlly saying its stupid and immature (hehe) or B: works fanaticly at it so he can crush anyone, again the killing theme.... oh and one more comment sort of out of the point why to ppl like fastest maps? they involve no skill, all you need to know is the tech tree and you can win... i mean is it really fun massing gaurdians and devourers till an opponets d of 1 million photon cannons crumbles?
I say no! but thats my 2 cents...
