In article <ru06535upf86fnre1...@4ax.com>, but only after serious contemplation, MuuMiMan <ihatespamandyoumustremovethisinordertor eply...@mbnet.fi> put finger to keyboard and produced the following; >IN TEH PALECE KNOWEN AS alt.games.starcraft, TEH FAGGORTER RogerM ><roger...@ns.sympatico.ca> DUMPED HIS GHEYE SHIET ON MY COMPUTAR >SCREEN!!!!: >> >>For RTS games, top-down 2D provides a superior method of selecting and >>controlling the units. > >Why would it be superior if the exact same effect can be achived in >3d? It wouldn't - but (so far) it can't. The last few pitiful attempts to make RTS graphics 3D and "zoom in-able" have best been countered by zooming out as far as possible and changing the viewing angle to as close to top-down as possible. IMNSHO (of course). ;-} -- Cheers, Chas. "Reality leaves a lot to the imagination".
