Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

My computer keeps glitching on one specific mission I'm in the middle of. Argh!

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Anyone want to play tonight?

EDIT: I am sick and tired of the Medivac w/ siege tanks combo. Starting to tick me off....-_-

Still putting the finishing touches on my CPU upgrade...I probably won't be on until tomorrow (though it could be really late tonight too)

You think tank drops are bad, wait until you see them drop Thors...

A whole Protoss Army is worse.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Man, this game really brings back the memories. Plays just like the first, just with a much better interface, and that's not a bad thing. Love everything, but, weird as this sounds, I think my two favorite things over the original are being able to zoom the camera back (always hated how close it was in SC1) and being able to select >12 units at a time. Just make life sooo much easier.

Getting back into it, but I'm not really sure which strategies to try. Practicing as Terran against the CPU in custom games, and I'm destroying so far, but that's because I've been good at getting the economy going, then just build up and roll with battlecruisers and tanks.

I've always played pretty defensively, but I think I need some new ideas, maybe something to get me going forward a little earlier. Anybody having particular luck with certain strategies so far?

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

I hate being Zerg against the Protoss.

Its either I win with a zerling/baneling rush or watch 50 muta's get by crushed by 15 carriers.

I can't break through during the mid game.

And... scratch that. Just upped the difficulty and got absolutely rolled by the CPU. That'll teach me not to defend the rocked-off entrance

Hey sorry. Pretty sure it was you who I wasn't able to reply back to in game earlier. The game I was in was going on for a while then I disconnected.

I lost connection in 2 of the 3 practice matches I did tonight.


I really miss Lurkers...Lurker defense games were always my favorite, and lurker drops on resources were so fun to do.

Yeah, no prob. Need to start into those practice matches myself this week, I think. Probably figure out some good strategies from the guys that inevitably destroy me.

Didn't play Zerg much, but Lurkers were great in Brood Wars. Halted many a Terran attack in games I played when someone forgot to bring the Science Vessel along in their attack. Played a lot of island maps, too, so I looooved Guardians and their ridiculous range.

I miss lurkers too. Playing through campaign mode really makes me miss some Terran units as well, mainly the Goliath.

But the units I miss most are:

Spoiler

Glad they replaced the Devourer with the Corruptor though. Much better unit imo.

I always forget about the extra abilities by corruptors. I really need to spend some time to learn all the abilities on each unit. I always pick random though so it takes a little longer to get familiar with them.

I hear ya on the reavers. I'm not sure why people miss guardians though as broodlords are a slightly better version of guardians with a similarly ridiculous range....and slower than christmas as well.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Warping in a whole army sucks when it happens to you, but the satisfaction of doing it to someone else is just awesome. Guys SCVs probably still don't know what hit em. He probably shouldn't have wasted so much money building nukes and nuking my small depleted bases. I now have .500 record. (It says I'm 3-2, but one match only lasted 17 min becasue the guy paused and didn't come back so I don't really like to count it)

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Well in practice matches so far I am
2-2 with my 2 losses coming way of disconnects when my internet kept going out last night

1-0 in co-op practice now..


edit - So funny to see people play as terran then lift there buildings when they lose and send them to obscure places.
