Starcraft II Officially Announced

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Had my first online match just now in the practice league. Lost it in 45 min. I actually didn't do bad though. I held the guy off for a few attacks. I forgot one key thing I remembered reading about the colossus in its description that I literally remebered about 5 min ago which was that they can be attacked by anti-air units. I had 4 phoenix's and a void ward that were upgraded somewhat who could have pushed those stupid things back a lot earlier. Guess I'll try a practice round with the Zerg next or play the CPU with the Terran.

Yeah, that looks like a hard-fought game from viewing the summary - you can do that for anyone on your friend list by right clicking their name and selecting "view profile" and then match history.

He had you out-macroed (bigger economy and units), but you hung in there for a long time with the smaller army. And you killed almost as many of his units as he did of yours.

I wish I could view the replay, but it's complicated to explain where they're saved on your computer. I can try to explain how I got that one uploaded earlier, but it still might be a pain to find.

After watching the replay I find out that I actually had a bigger Army than him for most of the match. He had the more expensive units, Immortals, Colossi, etc. but I had more units who I'm pretty sure were more upgraded than his. I also had forgotten about the Mothership's ability to warp in a whole army. That's what actually killed me. He managed to get it behind the majoity of my base defenses and while we held him off I lost my forge, cybernetics core, templar archives, fleet beacon, and that building that comes before the templar archives. The last thing I'll take from this battle is that I hate observers.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Well just beat the campaign. Loved every second of it. Last mission is hard as heck though...lol. So what are the 2 other expansions that are suppost to be released for it? And have they came up with an estimated release date on it?

There is supposed to be a game for each faction. I think I read that Zerg was next. Supposed to be every year I think.

It has an X2 in the title of the processor is that for dual core or something else? The vid card is ATI I'm pretty sure, and it is just the stock one. I might hold off and maybe get it down the road for my cousins computer or something, his is a little newer techwise.

EDIT- ATI Radeon X1200 Series is the video card.

X2 is code for AMD's dual core processors.

I don't think your vid card will meet the requirements.

Here is a pretty detailed list of requirements from Blizzard

Agreed, I thought the campaign was great.

Blizzard said about every 18 months....I'm really hoping for sooner than that though.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Dang this game is good. Just played with a trial code. 2 of my friends and I love to play it together. Anyone have any extra trial codes they could spare me?

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

Loving this game. I've been putting a bunch of hours on the campaign which has been a lot of fun. The tech trees are really cool.

I've also finally had the chance to really get into the mp which has been great. I screwed up my pathing a couple of times, but it's still been great.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

I suck in MP.....It makes me sad...

Mab I've been waiting for you since the game has been released. Get your Zerg Drones Ready.

Re: Starcraft II Officially Announced

What happened was I bought the EU Collectors Edition so for this version I am stuck on EU servers (um, no thanks) so I'm getting a US license as well to play the real people. I realize I'm buying the same game twice but come on, its Starcraft.

I am going to get SC2, for sure at some point. But NCAA 11 is eating into all my gaming time. So I am going to stick to my guns and hope my will power holds out until NCAA 11 has run its course for me.

I have always been a HUGE SC fan. Started playing RTS back in the original warcraft, then on to Command and conquer, then Star craft, Total annihilation, War hammer 40,000, Company of heros, Red Alert 2, Sins of a solar empire, and now in couple months STAR CRAFT 2!!

Love me some RTS
