Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[url]http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/55145-1v1-protoss-scrap-station#rd:dna[/url] I think I did pretty bad here, even if I won.

I hate how all of my friends got bored of this within a week, sucks to now barely know anyone to play with.

[QUOTE=Stripez;24005598]Hey :unsmith:[/QUOTE] Actually I don't feel bad about it, I'm just curious as to how they could've gotten bored so fast yet they loved SC1 and the SC2 beta.

Lemme guess, did they go back to MW2? :v:

No, they went back to WoW. MW2 is a decent game you know, maybe not the best but hell it's fun with friends.

Nearly all of my friends either haven't got SC2 yet, or are playing WoW instead. It's kind of a cold war between the WoW players and SC2 players on my friends list, there's always some argument about which they should be playing and which they shouldn't. I personally haven't been able to play much myself, between the lessons for the driver's license and the dentist (the latter of which is over now, thankfully) I haven't played much (like, 1 or 2 matches a day, not mnore). [QUOTE=LeonS;24005930]No, they went back to WoW. MW2 is a decent game you know, maybe not the best but hell it's fun with friends.[/QUOTE] Yeah MW2 is a good game actually, it's just the community, some decisions (lack of dedicated servers), and the attitude of Activision that ruins it (but the game itself is good, maybe a bit similar to MW1, but it's a sequel).

[QUOTE=-chu-;24005318]zvz is pretty bad too lol[/QUOTE] Zvz is an abomination.

[QUOTE=melonmonkey;24006696]Zvz is an abomination.[/QUOTE] ZvT as well. If you let T turtle up, 1-base mech can be very deadly.

[QUOTE=DaNoob;24006818]ZvT as well. If you let T turtle up, 1-base mech can be very deadly.[/QUOTE] Zvt is not an abomination. There are many, many possible options and counter sets you can use. Zerg is limited because you're constantly having to counter your enemy. It's typically best to just go muta/roach or muta/ling and fuck the consequences.

The secret mission in the campaign is pretty cool and pretty interesting...makes you think..

[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;24006900]The secret mission in the campaign is pretty cool and pretty interesting...makes you think..[/QUOTE] Yeah, I was hoping for more micro oriented missions.

Well shit, I leave this thread for 2 days, and what do I see? 426 new posts. No way am I looking through that.

[QUOTE=Crimor;24003569]Just finished the brutal campaign with all achievements and missions done, yet it says 99% of achievements done, I've looked everywhere in the campaign achievement list and can't find one that's unfinished, halp?[/QUOTE] Anyone? :saddowns:

Its not the 'hidden' mission is it?

[QUOTE=Crimor;24007424]Anyone? :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Its a glitch.

[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;24006900]The secret mission in the campaign is pretty cool and pretty interesting...makes you think..[/QUOTE] Secret Mission?

Could someone give me some C&C on this? [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3794151/Agria%20Valley.SC2Replay[/url] I felt like I was playing my best throughout this but I was completely obliterated none the less. Ignore all the silly chat, it was with a pal so I didn't mean any of it in vain. Najh claims he's never played Starcraft before and only got it yesterday, but bloody hell he was good :saddowns: I was the Terran player.

How do I get the profile to work? Says "No StarCraft II license found" when I have the SC2 CE on that account.

Your build is also wierd. You got an early barracks, but didn't make a single unit untill 5:46. It would have been better to make a supply depot, make more scvs, then put down a rax. You also didn't scout at all, leaving yourself vulnerable to the proxy right outside of your base. You also didn't wall, and if you had you could have seen the proxy build. Additionaly, you kept attacking the cannons with a force that was far too small. Reapers are light and have low health, they are almost useless in actual combat. 4 marines is also never going to take out 2 cannons. I rescind my previous statement. After a while you had a very good army up, but if he had attacked sooner you would have been toasted.

I raged it was that bad. You always had unspent resources, you built unnecessary buildings early on such as the missile turret. There won't be any air in the first few minutes of the game, don't worry about that stuff. And if someone ever builds cannons outside your base that early, build reapers and harass his base because that guarantees that his base is undefended. 3 cannons is 450 minerals right there which means his army if he has one is small. A few reapers could have decimated him. Then to get rid of the cannons get seige tanks earlier than 15 minutes. You waited far too long to get those. This game should have ended after 5 minutes but because you both did not make a move on each other throughout the whole game basically you both ended up with small armies and a vast amount of unspent resources. You know how to counter and that's good. When he had void rays and carriers you had Vikings to clear them out, but you were far too slow with taking out that warp prism which ultimately ended your income. Also I noticed that after 5 minutes you lost 15 units valued at 1050 resources. Once again, huge waste. Resources are the key to a good army, don't waste them by sending in 3 marines against 5 cannons because it isn't going to work now matter how badly you want it to. Basically, you and your friend need to practice a lot more at getting units out faster, not having unused resources, and never just sitting still. Gathering armies isn't the key, it's how you use them.
