I'm used to StarCraft (love it so much I bought every single Battle.net game, and all of the expansion packs), so I'm not used to the whole TCP/IP thing (but don't get me wrong, I can do it, I've done it with some older games before). I hate Hamachi, I tried it once, but everyone on it was a Hacker (hence why they weren't on Battle.net, they were all banned). I tried Kali (a defunct online gaming service similar to Hamachi) but i didn't like that, it lagged way to much and there is only 1 person who used that. GameSpy Arcade was alright, it is better than nothing. Battle.net is epic. World Opponent Network is awesome, though it's kind of a rip off Battle.net. PhoeniX WorX is great except it only supports one game. Other services I've tried are alright. I have another question so I should know if I should buy it or not. Does it have Use Map Settings, or is it just like all the other RTS games out there, the same thing over and over where you get a unit, other people get a unit, you build a building, yawn? If it has UMS is it like WarCraft II: Battle.net Edition where the entire community disregards it since Blizzard forgot to include "triggers" in the map editor so there were no command scripts for UMS. Or is it like StarCraft and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (and Reign of Chaos) where you can play movie maps, defense maps, bounds, Evolves, zombie maps, RPG maps, role play maps, offense maps, tournament maps, etc.?
