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

It's just a term for trying to end a game really early. It's not a bad thing

[QUOTE=Simples;23848669]Oh, so Cheeseing isn't a bad thing?[/QUOTE] Not necessarily. You risk everything when you cheese though. Generally in higher leagues your enemy's not going to let you build in the corner of his base without scouting it though.

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;23848740]Not necessarily. You risk everything when you cheese though. Generally in higher leagues your enemy's not going to let you build in the corner of his base without scouting it though.[/QUOTE] I don't think I'll get in to a high league anytime soon :v:

You proxy pylon in enemy base? I do it near, but in a distance. Then i roll out 12 stalkers/sentries/zealots. It's crushing for zerg and efficient against fast expanders.

also, anyone got some Terran unit gifs for avatars? preferably the marauder if theres one floating about?

Just had a 2vs2 against some Turtle/Steamroller Hybrid of Terran and Protoss, nearly lost thrice but managed to survive (Banelings are awesome). Then they didn't expand past 1 expansion, their big attack failed and their minerals started deplete. We kept patrolling to make sure they wouldn't expand, and sure enough after 20 minutes came the GG (was a bit of a let-down really, just when the Ultralisks and Broodlords were ready).

[QUOTE=melonmonkey;23848292]Platinum 1v1 is handing my ass to me. Why did I get put there anyway? D:[/QUOTE] I got put into Platinum directly from placement matches too, first few games I lost, but I've now won a few times in a row. I think it just takes a while to adjust to the faster speed. Also, thinking I might add everyone from EU, my friends list is looking a tad bare (all but 1 friend is yet to buy the game)

[QUOTE=dvondrake;23849672]The story will be a lot more enjoyable as it'll mean a lot more to you if you play SC1 before hand. Otherwise you'll probably be just kinda like "eh, well that's interesting" when pivotal things happen to the main characters.[/QUOTE] I'm getting the Starcraft 1 Box set for my birthday coming up in a couple days just so I can go through the campaign.

Looks like its gonna be really fun, maybe make the golden minerals on a floating platform like that 1 Blizzard map?

I plan on practicing all next week though and seeing what I can come up with.

I started off well in multiplayer now i hit the gold league i suck :/

[QUOTE=dark_console2;23849997]I started off well in multiplayer now i hit the gold league i suck :/[/QUOTE] Keep going at it, you'l improve it just takes a bit of time to get adjusted to the skill level in there.

Looks good now pdk, though it still looks a bit easy to defend the gold ore still.

[QUOTE=MuTAnT;23849979]I'm jealous that your mapping skills are superior to mine.

Hell when i went into the silver leagues i was having trouble against people, just takes some time. Automerge :argh:

[QUOTE=Crimor;23850238]Looks good now pdk, though it still looks a bit easy to defend the gold ore still.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the info. [editline]07:45PM[/editline] Mah automerge :frown:

Awww yeah I love warp prism rushes with 3 warp gates ready to deploy stalkers constantly

[QUOTE=Fusilero1;23850438]Awww yeah I love warp prism rushes with 3 warp gates ready to deploy stalkers constantly[/QUOTE] drop immortals -> warp in 7 charge zealots instantly win game

[IMG_thumb]http://i384.photobucket.com/albums/oo290/pdkm931/Starcraft%202/Plattform_13_3.png[/IMG_thumb] Not so easy to def the gold anymore huh?

awesome, and what's the size of that map? seems like the size I need for mine.

[QUOTE=Crimor;23850657]awesome, and what's the size of that map? seems like the size I need for mine.[/QUOTE] Medium, started as 128 x 128, but then made it a little bigger for the camera etc. But still the game area is around 100 x 100 or so.

Any way to make a bridge that you can like walk under? But still walk on it.

[QUOTE=Crimor;23850950]Any way to make a bridge that you can like walk under? But still walk on it.[/QUOTE] im sure there is, that editor can do some awesome things.

So what's the limitations on custom maps on battle.net so far. Considering to buy it but I play online for the customization pretty much.

[QUOTE=g1real;23851193]So what's the limitations on custom maps on battle.net so far. Considering to buy it but I play online for the customization pretty much.[/QUOTE] I haven't seen any limitations so far other than not being able to play them in league games(which is fair of course)

League games is probably official matchmaking/tournaments?
