ComputerSlicer23 said a lot of good things, I pretty much completely agree with him. I played warcraft 1,2 and 3, and I played starcraft and broodwar. I don't see what people are talking about in terms of unit balancing. I remember in brood war, it was extremely easy to win by simply going mass zerglings. Or mass hydralisks. it pretty much didn't matter. The whole point of war3 is that massing doesn't help a whole lot. I have personally beat armies that are 2-3x my size in warcraft, simply because I adapted to the gameplay. Warcraft 3 != Starcraft. Warcraft 3 gameplay is not starcraft gameplay. I don't see why so many people are complaining about it. When I started playing warcraft, I thought night elves were completely favored, and humans were the weakest and all this. However now that I have played the game through several patches, I see a bunch of balance issues I would not notice if I just looked at the game once in a while. I also don't see how people can complain about warcraft yet. Starcraft was extremely unbalanced until about a year after broodwar, yes, a YEAR. After the expansion. I remember when the expo came out, and protoss had a major advantage because of Corsairs, because they could stop any air attack easily, and they could disable mass ranged units on the ground and mass amounts of base defences. Nothing could match that. Anyway I will end with what I said earlier, Warcraft is not Starcraft. Warcraft has a more tactical feel to it I guess. Anyway, I love both Starcraft and Warcraft. I thank Blizzard for making them.

Ah, you see, you are right. It is definately a "feature" and if it was out by Microshaft, it would be an "Exciting New Feature!".
