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

[QUOTE=HoliestCow;23747405]What pisses me off, is the fact UK and US people cant play, that fucking pisses me off.[/QUOTE] As in together right? I did not know this.

[QUOTE=FlakAttack;23747340]LAN has been a PC staple since the beginning. It may not matter to you, but it still matters to many of us.[/QUOTE] since the beginning of what you could say ISA is a PC staple, so what

[QUOTE=HoliestCow;23747405]What pisses me off, is the fact UK and US people cant play, that fucking pisses me off.[/QUOTE] I know it's annoying, they should make it an option of which regions you want to play with, Europeans are fine but I like to play with people all over the world. That and I had matches planned with some American friends but now I can't :frown:

What is the name of the [sp] Tosh / Nova Choice mission? [/sp] Gonna go back and [sp] Side with Nova instead [/sp]

[QUOTE=onox37;23747291]I [b]really[/b] want one of these: [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090829132949/starcraft/images/f/fa/JimRaynorNoob_Real1.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I have one...:smug:

[QUOTE=Murdoco;23747533]I have one...:smug:[/QUOTE] How much did you pay for it? There's something with the marines that you can never unsee. If you look at the chest of the marine, imagine a panda bear. The lead artist for Blizz likes putting Pandas in various Blizzard games.

(probably going again in 11 but not 10.)

[QUOTE=Dashiel;23744421][sp]Tosh or Nova, [B]TOSH OR NOVA?[/B] Someone please tell me![/sp] And again, friend code 741 looking for rookies to play against or people to play against in general![/QUOTE] A bit late, but [sp]it's better to go for Tosh. All the stuff Nova says (spectres murdering people, and something else) is bullshit, since after some time the doctor tells you that Tosh keeps them under control. And Nova's a Dominion ghost so you're helping your enemy, and she doesn't even stay with you, like Tosh. He's an interesting character too. IMO the mission is way better too, because you only control Tosh, and Jim sends wave after wave of units (looks awesome), while in the Nova mission you have to manage everything.[/sp] [QUOTE=Dashiel;23746542][sp] Purify or protect the colony?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Slightly (slightly) better to protect, since the doctor is killed if you purify the colony (in a cool cutscene though), and you just get some trophy from the protoss. If you protect you keep the doctor (yay, story), and the protoss don't attack you or anything later (maybe in the expansions).[/sp]

So is the whole custom maps system as simple as it was in Warcraft 3? As in, do I have to download the map independently or can I grab it off of the host?

[QUOTE=EXoDUSFLT;23747693]So is the whole custom maps system as simple as it was in Warcraft 3? As in, do I have to download the map independently or can I grab it off of the host?[/QUOTE] go to custom game, and can click on a map which will have either a check mark which means you have the map or an arrow simply click the arrow and the map will be downloaded

-ninjad, they explained it better-

Is there a video anywhere of the cinematic that plays when you [sp]purify the colony?[/sp]

[QUOTE=Stripez;23746823]Alright so I decided to pick this game up and I love it. Except I'm terribad. Anybody got any tips on playing zerg in MP?[/QUOTE] Watch pro vids. Absorb knowledge.

Can someone link me to some pro Terran videos? I must absorb more knowledge. (1v1 and 2v2 preferably.)

Thanks.

Holy fuck that hellion attack just made me blow my load 9 probes with 1 hellion

Wow that guys voice when he is excited is obnoxious.

I like when he spots the fusion core "Whaaaaaat"

Hes trying to take down the mother SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPP [editline]07:20PM[/editline] Yah those videos were pretty helpful even if the terran lost. Also we really need a subsection...With Help threads for new Terran, Protoss, Zerg players, a thread for people to team up, a megathread (like this), and just a bunch of custom maps and stuff the people of facepunch design....

I'm proud of my megathread but I'd like to expand the Op to have useful information. I finally get why people watch RTS gameplay.

i think a megathread is better, keeps all the info in one place

Not tried multiplayer yet, where does one find the character codes?

[QUOTE=Pinut;23750129]Not tried multiplayer yet, where does one find the character codes?[/QUOTE] Click the friends button and then click add friend. Your friend code will be there.

[QUOTE=Fusilero1;23740811]Roaches can wreck anything, even an army by themselves just keep popping up and burrowing so any damage dealt can be healed quickly. Doesn't sound that bad, [sp] with flyers still alive the leviathan spawns and it raped my fleet of battle cruisers[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]If you take the mission to kill the air units, you have an optional objective of killing the Leviathan as it flies around the map. I nuked it with Battlecruisers but jesus christ that thing was hard to take down.[/sp] Also, a question to someone who chose the first option at Haven. [b]Warning[/b], this may contain spoilers for you if things turn out different after each one. I don't know, which is why I'm asking but I'm assuming they do. [sp]Anyway, during the mission if you chose the second option, Matt informs you that Ariel has locked herself in the lab. After you take care of the mission, there is a cutscene where Jim goes into the lab in his marine suit and it turns out Ariel was infested. If you choose to go against the Protoss and help the colonists, does it turn out differently?[/sp]

Region: EU Username: Pinut Char. Code: 782 anyone wanna go vs ai? :< ps i'm bad

wow just had an amazingly fun 1v1 that I won. I was terran. He was Zerg. Everything is going well at first...I'm keeping my base strong and expanding whenever I have the time..He somehow snuck a Nydus Worm into my base (killed it and the roaches that came with it easily though.) Fast forward about 15 minutes and I have 5 thors, 3 battlecruisers, 8 medivacs, 6 vikings, 8 banshees, about 30 marines, 15 marauders, and 10 hellions. All upgraded (not fully but in some places.) I go to attack his base with this mighty army. I crush his base within a minute (Also unlocking the Meatgrinder achievement: Kill 50 supply worth of units in 15 seconds.) crushed his based. Then notice he somehow snuck ANOTHER nydus worm into my base. He crushed the main base but I still had 2 other bases set up + all my units still alive and for some reason all he is using is hydras. I bring over my gigantic army, crush his worm. VICTORY. (oh and he rarely ever attacked. He played turtle too but was just terrible and thought nydus worms were going to destroy me. He was pretty bad but it was a great game none the less.)
