Starcraft II Officially Announced

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

I used to love money maps in SC1, but the more I play regular I like it because it has a layer of difficulty to expand.


As for rushers, well it's a part of the game. I kind of always view it as if I lose to an early rush then I didn't prepare properly.

The only rush that is really that difficult to defend are reapers because they are faster than zerglings/zealots/marines so you have to tech up to maras, stalkers, roaches fast to defend against them or build defensive structures around your base.

I'll be on most of tonight probably if anyone wants to do something.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

So is trying to do a zergling or marine/marauder (and possibly siege tank and medivac) rush the only strategy people online know now? Seems like it. And when they do it they:
A) Overrun you because you don't have enough fighting units.
B) Kill your workers and pretty much end the match.
C) You hold them off and as soon as you get a base defense properly set up and a medium sized army to attack its over because they've wasted all their resources.

Also whats with people trying to rush to the golden mineral deposits and not build up there original base. Seriously, one guy I played against lifted off his command center at the beginning and flew it to one of those bases.

I try to do tech marines and marauders. They work pretty good. Only problem is I cant seem to defend the Siege Tanks flying into my base no mater how many anti air I use.

turrets wont kill a medivac fast enough. you best defense would be air or keeping a small standby force in your base

So are we going to get some big games going tonight?

Two things...lots of workers and stay busy. Don't stop doing stuff, making units, scouting, etc.

Yeah, the economy part I think I'm actually OK at; usually saturate bases pretty well, and don't get supply blocked.

I think my problem is that I need to plan out better what I'm going to do before the game; I seem to get in game, get plenty of workers/resources, but then just build some of everything, instead of focusing on a particular strategy.

I also notice I always forget to keep building while I'm attacking. Got the buildings on hotkeys, just get distracted watching stuff blow up

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

so roommate A left for the weekend, roommate B gives me his guest passes to play SC2 on roommate A's computer (mine won't run it). So I've spent 12 hours in the past two days playing 3v3 vs. CPUs, and I need to get this game some how or some way.

I've mostly played as Protoss. Last night against two hard and one normal CPU, it appeared we were dead about 40 min into the game. Teammate 1 lost everything, teammate 2 had a few bases leftover but most of his units were gone. I lost everything too but managed to build another base on an island with enough room for some stargates. Fast forward about 40 more minutes and I had taken out all three CPUs with an army of Phoenixes and Void Rays.

And speaking of Void Rays, does anybody feel they're OP? I mean, if you get a large enough army of them it seems like they're unstoppable. I'm not sure, I mean I've only played against the CPU so maybe they're not as good as I think.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Void rays are the one unit that consistently owns me. When someone gets 10-12 of them they can do a lot of damage very quickly and unless you have a lot of vikings/thors/marines (all of them), you're in trouble.

I hate the fact that SCVs don't auto-repair anymore.
