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

[QUOTE=Katamari_Jr;23813716]Just fought a Protoss who sent out a builder within the first minute of the game. Nothing unusual about that, I thought he was scouting. Then he starts warping in Photon Cannons. I'm going to do this if I play Protoss ever. (also i still beat him, just flew my base to the natural and marine rushed the void rays he quick built)[/QUOTE] I just tried this. Works wonders on Terrans if you do it early enough. Most people get intimidated and surrender. Don't do it against zerg. 6 pool will fuck this up and you'll be dead in like 5 seconds.

a little under 2 gigs to go... faster download faster

[QUOTE=Dashiel;23810848]Okay seriously, what the FUCK is with [sp]that mission where you have to run away from the fire wall[/sp]. I only had time to build up a smallish force before I was pushed right up into the face of the enemy and I got completely OBLITERATED because of my small force, but I didn't even have a chance to make it larger because the resources ran out too quickly and I was constantly being forced to move due to the [sp]fire wall.[/sp] Someone tell me how the fuck to beat that mission.[/QUOTE] Use mercs lots and lots of mercs [editline]02:37AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Dashiel;23814470]It's not so much the achievements I care about but I want a different avatar :v:[/QUOTE] do tiger marine and fight a bunch of easy comps lol that's what I did

It's too bad the animations suck and the gameplay is boring and tedious

[QUOTE=Snapzies;23815554]It's too bad the animations suck and the gameplay is boring and tedious[/QUOTE] Sorry, you accidentally posted in the "starcraft 2" megathread and not the "pokemon" megathread.

Uh, question: Is Matt the commander from the first game?

No. That was just some random magistrate that's supposed to be you.

Finally got my Spectre avatar!

[QUOTE=Murdoco;23814816]I just had an amazingly easy free for all match. Everyone played defense for the first 20 minutes of the game. Then one of the zerg attacked me and lost. Then I kept building more and more. He tried again and lost. I rushed his base and he rage quitted so I found no need to destroy everything. I then rushed the protoss and crushed his base quite easily. Then there was another zerg. I rushed his base but this time when I got close to his main base he killed me off. But I had destroyed 2 of his lairs/hives and slowed down his productivity. I created 5 more thors. 5 more battlecruisers, 8 more medivacs, 30 more marines, 10 more marauders, and rushed his base again. This time I win. It was a great game.[/QUOTE] Could I see the replay? That sounds like an awesome match.

I'm having issues with the game all of a sudden :byodood: Me and my friend play 2v2 on the beginners league and we decided to skip that and move on. Now though, the box where you pick your race and all that jazz isn't showing up for me and instead it's just the loading circle and it won't stop. If anybody has any solutions to this, please help me :frown: .

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23809855]No it isn't In placement you can end up playing against someone far more skilled than you, whereas everyone in your league is about your skill level [/QUOTE] What happened in my placement matches is that I got to own 4 newbies, and died to a mistake on my part against a 5th newbie. Guess results may vary.

Can you play the Singeplayer as a guest without having your trial running out?

Lol: [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs215.snc4/39087_1278906179510_1435680425_31339268_1656262_n.jpg[/img] Most hilarious metacritic review ever

[QUOTE=StratoVirus;23816577]Finally got my Spectre avatar![/QUOTE] Don't tell the OP, he'll call you a cheater.

[QUOTE=Warchamp7;23817393]Don't tell the OP, he'll call you a cheater.[/QUOTE] the door is over there in case you were wondering

That is fucking hilarious.

[QUOTE=SteeleCratos;23814907]Don't do it against zerg. 6 pool will fuck this up and you'll be dead in like 5 seconds.[/QUOTE] 6 pool isn't some magical standard strategy that you encounter every game. It's very rare, and ridiculously easy to scout.

i stopped the 6 pool by building supply depots, bunkers, and barracks behind the ramp which stopped from a while till i built my marines and placed them in the bunkers definitely much different from Starcraft 1

Yeah now that you can use buildings to wall off easier.

Supply depots make a great wall with their ability to go up and down. Don't rely on them for unit supplies though. They are used as a defense and losing would mean being able to produce not as many units.

I am contemplating getting this game, I have played Starcraft ALOT, I used to use the map editor a ton, I just don't think I am very good at RTS games anymore though.

Halfway through the "zombie" night/day mission, I hit the fucking windows key and the game crashed.

You can disable it in the options.

As a Terran it's pretty easy to block your ramp. Go Supply Depot, Barracks, and Supply Depot. Put the rally point for the Barracks inside your base so your units don't spawn outside. If you do this quickly enough you'll be able to prevent any proper scouting and 4 Marines will be able to crush 6 Zerglings if they can't get in range.

fucking photon cannons in my base

[QUOTE=Tiowa;23818759]fucking photon cannons in my base[/QUOTE] Kinda your fault. Especially if you're playing Zerg.

[QUOTE=Tiowa;23818759]fucking photon cannons in my base[/QUOTE] Whenever you play a Protoss player, always scout the corners of your base. You never know when there is a Cannon Rush. :v:

Just did the terran challenge for rushing. Lost no units. Awesome.

I'm struggling on the Opening Gambit challenge still...I just need bronze...(gold would be nice though.) It's the last bronze I need to get my wolf marine portrait (already have all the other achievements for it.)
