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

The campaign on Hard is too hardcore for me. The holdout missions with the first Artifact if you try to get the achievment is impossible.

Phew, completed my qualifiers and got put into Bronze. The two times I won were against Protoss players, and they could have easily crushed me, but they got gunshy so I got the upper hand. It seems like Protoss players love the Dark Templar. Not good if you're going against a Terran, who obviously would have an Oribital Command set up ASAP, and it's not worth losing 500+ minerals and gas only only deal about 100 to 200 of damage worth of minerals.

Wooh just got my spectre avatar. And to the above. The point of going DTs is to make you waste your comsats. A good protoss player send his DTs at you one at a time, forcing you to waste comsats on each one. And each comsat wastes enough energy to call down a mule, which is (I believe) 375 minerals. So the DTs pay for themselves even if they don't kill anything.

Argh, the game keeps overheating my computer. Just cleaned it, and hopefully it'll run like a charm now.

[editline]08:07AM[/editline] TBH the most annoying players are those who put bases EVERYWHERE. They're probably going to lose due to the lack of a real army, but it's a pain in the ass to go around the map sweeping each one up.

It is why many of us stopped playing the beta.[/QUOTE] If you have FRAPS, watch the FPS in the menu, if it skyrockets to 1000+ then it's probably that.

I love void rays [editline]08:15AM[/editline] Especially void rays combined with a mothership

Also for some reason this game gets my heart pounding when playing online. It never happens, even in FPS games I'm always calm, but this gives me an adrenaline burst (though it's fading now after a few matches, now I can actually sit on the chair).

I always shake when I play an online match, I did it in CoH too.

[QUOTE=KorJax;23773008] Seems a little over-rated in my personal opinion.[/QUOTE] you have to understand, SC2 nailed it it's a benchmark

[QUOTE=jessem3;23773239]The true power comes from the Custom Maps.[/QUOTE] Yeah, if we just had a system that wouldn't only show TD and DOTA (or SOTIS like it's called now). I hope we will get a map like Evil Deeds for WC3, that was awesome. Oh and Battleship Crossfire too.

Night of the Dead: Aftermath Life of a Peasant Tropical Towerwars

[QUOTE=LeonS;23774955]Night of the Dead: Aftermath Life of a Peasant Tropical Towerwars[/QUOTE] If only the custom game system showed those, instead of Red TD and SotIS. Looks like some new maps are popping up on the second or third page of the custom games though.

I am raging so fucking hard right now. Me and my friend are talking over skype which should help but we keep fucking losing. I don't know what's wrong. We wall our shit off right and my build order is just fine but fuck man. We got put in the bronze league and I was doing just fine with Johnnymo. Christ it's pissing me off.

Dark deeds were awesome. I wish they did a remake.

Finally got some decent playtime in the weekend, Decided on Zerg for MP maps. few things [B]God Damn. i HATE the newbie maps[/B] My first thought was, "hey, lets just rush them with a few zerglings, kill off his eco".. no. freakin' rocks in the way. So, played 6 total online matches, (2v2) and won 2. However, the one that pissed me off most was this. me and my teammate were doing well, i had 2 bases and a steady income, ultralisks, and a ton of Hydralisks. Then the godamn opponents just had air units ;_;

Take a pause (a few hours), and then try again.

Mutalisk rush instead, just build loads of drones for the first 16 pop, build 2 vespene gas things, 2 drones for each vespene gas, then build a spawning pool, then upgrade to Lair, then (by this time you should have a steady income of minerals) build another hatchery and start gathering the vespene there too (you need a steady flow of vespene for mutalisks), then build a spire (if everything goes well you will be able to morph 8-10 mutalisks as soon as the spire is ready). I have no idea how it works against Terran players, but it worked well against Protoss (if the Protoss makes a Stalker spam just counter with loads of Zerglings while the Mutas devastate his gatherers).

Apparently, Hard was harder than Brutal for me. Probably because I beat the game on Hard first and on Brutal I already know how to win each level.

You are assiging 2 workers for the vespene? That's bad. You should assign 3 of them for fastest mining possible.

[QUOTE=Str4t0s;23775569]You are assiging 2 workers for the vespene? That's bad. You should assign 3 of them for fastest mining possible.[/QUOTE] This is true. They said it in the tutorial for the game. I didn't know this, but it's pretty good to know because now i don't spend too many drones on vespenes.

I know this is kinda late, but could anyone still send me a european guest pass?

Yeah I learned 3 on vespene too late, now I get upgrades and banshees much quicker.

Fuck this. I'm done 'till tomorrow. I'm beyond mad. Somehow, this fucker got his probe in my base despite the rocks being there and my marines guarding the other entrance. He built tons of photon cannons so I could access his pylons. Then! his teamate sent in like five void rays. Within five minutes of the game starting.

guys do you reckon making loaps would be possible? i mean i reckon TD's will be awesome form what ive seen but nothing will look like a village with all the space age models

Then you make a future LOAP, sheesh. Implement WC3 stuff too, the new DotA maps have the centaurs and stuff from WC3.

[QUOTE=Str4t0s;23775569]You are assiging 2 workers for the vespene? That's bad. You should assign 3 of them for fastest mining possible.[/QUOTE] My bad, I meant 3 (I was probably thinking of the Vespene buildings).

Talking about cheese, i hate that reaper bunker cheese. They lay a bunker in your base, then get reapers in and you are basically fucked
