So my record is "up" to 3-14 now. This is the kind of reason why I mostly moved over to UMS games back when I was playing this game years ago, but while those are awesome Warcraft III has more options in its multiplayer that I really like. I mean, in versus and such SC is still the best game even if I'm terrible, and the single player campaign is my favorite in the genre, but UMS? It's great... but WC3 can do more. Most SC tower defense games have the players die if even one enemy leaks through, for example; this makes things really difficult compared to WC3, where you almost always have a lives system. In SC it's also much harder or impossible to have towers that do effects like Slow, Ice, things like that, which are great things to have in TD. WC3 allows for passwords, which are neat in some of the RPG maps, on top of its leveling system of course. In things like this, in-game interfaces (for how you upgrade things and such), and more, the kinds of solutions SC maps have can be interesting but often are a bit clumsier than WC3's are.
So, my favorite kinds of SC maps in UMS right now are probably things that SC does better than WC3, such as the simple but always fun Zone Control or other maps that make good use of bunkers. Those are great.
Now, I haven't played WC3 much in a long time either, but this has kind of always been my opinion on these games -- WC3 is the better multiplayer game, but SC is the better single player game. I thought that WC3's multiplayer was so disappointing compared to SC's that that made up for the slightly improved multiplayer, which is why SC is my favorite game overall. And on that note even if my record is terrible I'm having a lot of fun playing the Ranked mode. This game is still so amazing...
