oh hey, new avatar

I won a lot of 1v1 but i sucked at 2v2 because mostly my teammates failed. [editline]02:32PM[/editline] My name is Str4t0s, Code : 467. I'll be in like 15 minutes.

HOLY SHIT I watched that video and I had no idea you could build a tech lab on a barrack, uplift the barrack and plant the factory on the tech lab. Jesus I've been missing out!

Finally beginning to get the hang of this. Started playing as Protoss, but initially couldn't win any games. Now I've got a few tactics and strategys under my belt I've won my last 4 matches.

I just want something cleared up, if anyone knows. Since Starcraft II is split into three parts, will all three parts be full price, or will it be one full price game and two expansion packs?

TD, TD, TD, TD and more TD. Yawn. Also has anyone managed to make a unit from semi-scratch (adding a unit but copying field values from another one)? I tried, but it doesn't have a model (I can place it in the world, but it won't visually show up, since it does not have a model). The only up-to-date tutorial I have found ([url]http://forums.sc2mapster.com/development/tutorials/5096-data-creating-new-units-easy/#p9[/url]) tells me to simply make the model copying the field values from what I want and it's done (I'm guessing it had to do with the model and the unit having the same ID), but that doesn't happen to me, they have the same ID and everything, but the unit won't use the model (nor will it show up when I select the unit in the data editor, the actors are there, but no models). The tutorial tells me to make it a "ModelType: CModel", but the only options I get are "Generic" and "Foliage".

[QUOTE=Fusilero1;23738246]Nothing has been confirmed yet[/QUOTE] Yes, It has been confirmed. It's gonna be 3 full Games, not expansions. They each have their own changes and campaign, First Terran, Protoss, Then Zerg. [editline]01:48AM[/editline] I also in the beta made a flying thor, It's based off the viking. Worked out awesome. Lemme find a video.

hey on the misson where you [sp]destroy or save haven[/sp] what should i do? i would like the protoss research but i don't want the story to backlash at me.

Flying thors :-D [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDQWS2qdH1w[/media] I also found this in the video's, it's just called free couch. there is also another one with (assuming) blizzard employee's walking out of a building to a carpark with a billion screaming fans.

I suck so bad online, even in n00b leagues.

This game would be better if the online didn't boil down to "who can rush who the fastest" and there was some sort of actual positioning strategy.

[QUOTE=wingless;23738453]Yes, It has been confirmed. It's gonna be 3 full Games, not expansions.

Will it be only one full price game, then other two will be cheaper, or will all three be full price? Because if it is, I'd rather wait until all three come out in a pack, becasue no matter how awesome Starcraft II is, it shouldn't cost $180 (US) total.

The campaign story was a let down...IT was so different from the trailer :/ Filled with silly moments and not so serious stuff

What AI would the average player in practice matches (those 50 at slow speed) be equal to? Easy or medium? I'm going to practice a bit with AI before going online.

[QUOTE=matark;23722303]Terran m&m makes me cry. It's so hard to get a good counter to them early game and I have to get lucky with a forcefield to stop them.[/QUOTE] You may find this helpful.

Just bought the game, :iia:!

Any total rookies fancy playing me online? I'm playing right now so y'know, add character code 741 to your friends. Or if anyone fancies playing me in general, wouldn't mind a match where everything wasn't rushed and people felt like using some actual tactics.

Also are beginner matches on those maps with paths blocked by rocks? If they are I'm fucked because my "strategy" was to rush. [editline]04:41PM[/editline] Looks like they are, shit.

That's why they rush with airships instead.

I would post my name and code but im getting it changed.

Phew, I was expecting disaster, but I managed to rush the Terran before he even got units out. Though those rocks slowed me down a lot. Also I love how, when there are too many, Zerglings "dance" around the structure being attacked (I know it's because they try to find a spot to attack but the others are in the way, but seeing all those Zerglings running around in circles like some ritual is awesome).

[sp]Last stand protoss is a bitch to finish, can only get 1100.[/sp]
