I was wondering if SC2, looked as a total package, is the best the rts genre has ever delivered and perhaps even will deliver.

im talking about the complete starcraft 2 experience with all three parts and even nova ops.

its is in essence one giant game with 3 full campaigns as chapters, three distince races, a good story (for rts standards its fantastic and close to wc3 or sc1), great timeless graphics, single and multiplayer is presented great and balanced, plus the campaign missions and variety is unparalleled.

the only game close is warcraft 3 plus frozen throne, but its comparably smaller than sc2 and the presentation is not as stellar.

imo sc2 is the only AAA rts we will see for the near future. aoe4 failed to capture audiences and i doubt tempest rising will be on the same level as StarCraft 2.

essentially im saying that StarCraft 2, objectively speaking if we leave preferences for setting or story etc out of the equation, is the best rts ever made, with an emphasis on ever.

i love rts personally, cnc red alert 2 and 3, aom, wc3 etc i have and love them all, but sc2 is special

what you think and where do you see the rts genre heading especially since the rts "savior" aoe 4 failed in that regard

I would agree—SC2 is the GOAT, at least by current standards. Our team will forever be proud of the work we did on SC2. That said, we’re not done making RTS games yet. We have a vision for the future of this style of game and we hope players enjoy the hell out of Stormgate.
