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

By the way there are ALOT of references in this games achievements. For example there's an achievement called "Professionals Have Standards" where you need to get 20 sniper shot kills with ghosts in one game. [editline]04:39AM[/editline] Which is obviously TF2

[QUOTE=Str4t0s;23754589]There is also "Meet the spy" for killing changelings.[/QUOTE] And also "Would you kindly" for doing something with infested terrans, I forget exactly. :v: Also there are 30 people reading this thread, I expect more posts :saddowns:

I'm surprised I haven't seen any FPers design any epic custom game modes or maps yet...(if there are any let me know I'd love to see their work.)

I'm reading from my phone so I really hate posting.

There was a "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum" too (not in the achievements though, I think it was during an in-game cutscene). Also just had a 1vs1 with another Zerg, turns out we both went for the mutalisk rush and were pretty much equal, but somehow he had 2 mutalisks less than me so I managed to get to his base and kill his vespene gatherers and cut off the flow. Looking at his build order turns out I got lucky and he built a spawning pool after only 2 drones, which slowed his economy down in the later stages when he started building a spire.

Just gonna go ahead and get this outta the way but Vikings are my favorite unit :buddy:

Man I want this shirt: [url]http://www.jinx.com/starcraft/men/terran_vintage_logo.html?catid=41&cs=2&csd=41&preview=1[/url] or the zerg one. Both look cool. I just play Terran more.

I managed to enable Lurkers, Lurker's Den and Brutalisks, then I have been trying to make a new unit but I can't manage to add the model (for some reason Blizz though it would be a good idea to [B]not[/B] simply put a "Model:" value where you could simply put in the path, nooooooo instead they made some other fucked system that is supposed to be easy (just name the unit and model identically), but doesn't seem to work for me).

[QUOTE=acds;23754664]There was a "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum" too (not in the achievements though, I think it was during an in-game cutscene).[/QUOTE] actually in the missions where [sp]Tychus is in the Odin. He will occasionally say "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum."[/sp]

[QUOTE=Stripez;23754675]Just gonna go ahead and get this outta the way but Vikings are my favorite unit :buddy:[/QUOTE] My phoenixes can make them fly even when they don't want to :3: I wish you could drag them while lifted though, like dragging tanks into the water killing em.

[QUOTE=Crimor;23754724]My phoenixes can make them fly even when they don't want to :3: I wish you could drag them while lifted though, like dragging tanks into the water killing em.[/QUOTE] Yeah I don't know, seems a bit overpowered to allow a Phoenix to one shot kill a tank.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of things in 1v1. Just won 4 games in a row. (1 was a disconnect but fuck you I'm counting it.)

Ninja'd so damn hard, I need to refresh more

Don't have the time. Or B. Don't know how to. [editline]02:46AM[/editline] Also I was just thinking...would it be possible for someone to completely recreate starcraft 1 in Starcraft 2's galaxy editor? I've seen it do some crazy things but I think it could just be possible...They could use sounds from the old game (I mean voices mostly for the story, etc.) and put in the old units (recreate them themselves.) I think it could be possible...Not quite sure but I want to see it happen (mostly because I never played Starcraft 1.) -on a side note should I buy starcraft 1 just for the campaign or is it so out of date I should just keep playing starcraft 2?

It's probably a very good game but I don't like how one building at the wrong time basically fucks up the game for you :(

[QUOTE=Jund;23754769]Yeah I don't know, seems a bit overpowered to allow a Phoenix to one shot kill a tank.[/QUOTE] Well of course the bigger unit the slower the phoenix should move, so with a tank you'd have to be near water or space or it will be useless.

Added you, Str4t0s.

I'm saving up money for this game.. fucking US$75!

[QUOTE=Murdoco;23754373]I think it's $100.[/QUOTE] It's a bit over 70€ from game.co.uk But it's in britain. I was like fuck waiting for it to arrive/fuck leaving the house and bought the normal edition digital.

So if I go back to the Media Blitz mission and [sp]destroy the tech lab, will I get access to the secret mission, or do I have to restart the whole campaign?[/sp]

[SP]I tried that yesterday and it seems that you have to either restart the campaign or load a mission when completed Media Blitz but I couldn't find it so I'm replaying on Brutal. [/SP]

[QUOTE=acds;23755851]So if I go back to the Media Blitz mission and [sp]destroy the tech lab, will I get access to the secret mission, or do I have to restart the whole campaign?[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Just load a save from making that mission when you were during it in campaign. After beating it, you'll get a techlab mission.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Killuah;23755166]It's probably a very good game but I don't like how one building at the wrong time basically fucks up the game for you :([/QUOTE] Maybe if you're against someone who's much better than you, and you aren't very experienced yourself. But once you've learnt how to use all the units effectively you should be able to recover from mistakes such as that.

Ok, Just finished the Zerg campaign of SC1... Me getting SC2 has been delayed :frown: Gonna finish 1 and brood war, then I should only be days from SC2

i think I'm going to buy Starcraft 1 in a couple days I want to play through the campaign

[QUOTE=Murdoco;23756256]i think I'm going to buy Starcraft 1 in a couple days I want to play through the campaign[/QUOTE] I think buying the SC2 collectors edition would probably be around the same price as buying em seperate(Plus you get it on a usb stick).

If anyone wants to buy SC1, I say go for it. The gameplay may not be as good, but the story is top notch.

Does anyone got some tips for Protoss vs Terran on 1vs1?

[QUOTE=Murdoco;23754721]actually in the missions where [sp]Tychus is in the Odin. He will occasionally say "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum."[/sp][/QUOTE] I cringed everytime he said it.
