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

[onox37]

Proxy Pylon is when you build a pylon somewhere else in the map that isn't your base where you can port it your Protoss units from your base.

Guess what VSYNC is for?

It's called an RTS, and the graphics are excellent considering the fact that you may at times be able to see everything on the map at once without your graphics card getting bogged down.

[quote=bud389]oh, and have they even fixed that exploit where you can land your bases ontop of inaccessible higher ground to infinite matches?[/quote]
I'm having trouble comprehending what you're saying. No ground on the map is inaccessible unless it's out-of-map scenery, which you can't land on.

Also, Total war is alright, Dawn of war the original games were good Dawn of war 2 however is a pathetic exscuse for an RTS.

You obviously haven't played it. You sir, are a fucking retard.

[pdkm931]

Still I use a ATI HD 4850 that I got for free from a buddy that couldn't fit it with his PSU (No PCI Express Cables :saddowns:) Else so dosen't it even go over 60C with full fan on Ultra graphics (20FPS though :saddowns:) And it's the drivers for the card not starting the fan that is the problem. And in this thread there haven't been a single person with cooling problems. Not even on my laptop with integrated Intel Graphics goes for a melt down.

So blame yourself not updating drivers before stating that this game blows up your graphics card.

I'm about to go fuck around a play a few games of nexus wars, oops.444 if you want to play. Planning on fucking around and maybe trying some sort of funky stuff, so I definitely would like to have a little group going or something.

-Chu- is fucking beast as zerg. With my bio ball I bring out we eliminate almost anything. We just won 7/9 games. We are rank 29 platinum with 14 wins 10 losses.

Well, I didn't have a problem even after 3-4 days constant uptime on my PC :buddy:

[QUOTE=Crazy_Farmer;23907164]when you research warp gate technology you can turn gateways into warp gates which basically spawn units near pylons/warp prisms at the location you click

so you can build a pylon near the enemy's base and have your units spawn there[/QUOTE]
It's easier to just use a warp prism and set it to phasing mode.

but a pylon does have higher hit points

you can set up a pylon much earlier than a warp prism.

God dammit. I normally don't like buying games shortly after they come out, due to their prices. But, I just want Starcraft II so badly.
It's my birthday next month, might as well buy it but. Was going to ask you guys if I should really buy it, seeing as you guys have already tried it.

Buy it. It's worth the money.

[pdkm931]

[QUOTE=Murdoco;23908330]Buy it. It's worth the money.[/QUOTE]

Especially since it was very cheap in a few places, like 333SEK/35€/£30/47$ on Mediamarkt in Sweden during the release.

[QUOTE=onox37;23907129]I'm not sure why you even bothered posting? [B]If you wanted to say that the Dawn of War series was better why didn't you just post that in the Dawn of War thread? That's right, there isn't one[/B].[/QUOTE]

Oh noez, it duzn't has thred!

I never said it was better, either.

[HumanAbyss]

I can't take playing this game in 2v2 alone anymore. I swear, everyone I team up with is retarded and will deviate from the strat we agree on at the beginning of the match as soon as they can.

You have to learn to live with it until you get to the higher divisions and the fact that people just don't use the good player in the team for an easy ride to heaven.

Graphics of today's RTS's.

Graphics of starcraft 2.
[URL]http://www.adrianwerner.x.pl/2008/starcraft2.jpg[/URL]

And im a person who casually goes from playing Crysis to Tomb Raider without having a problem with graphics! In this day and age, it shouldn't look like tetris and run like a slide show on most computers. I could barely play the demo on this dual core with 3gb's of RAM and get above 15 FPS on medium.

Having trouble? Let me help.

Dude, this game looks AWsome :B

Knock myself out becuase of a reasonable opinion... Hm. Starcraft 2 adds absolutely nothing to the RTS genre as a whole and is basicaly the same game it was 10 years ago and is strictly fan service. Prove me wrong.

It's funny, Blizzard hasn't made an actual, new, original game since 1998.

it's difficult, i'm stuck in bronze division with people that can barely play half the time. Even if I'm dominating, I'm losing because my partner isn't even keeping up less than half of his end versus two opponents. It's really quite shitty. But I will persevere I guess.

Blizzard might not make original games but they make games with solid gameplay.

Only because Warcraft became a MMO doesn't mean that Starcraft 2 have to become a MMO to, as they have stated that there are no plans in the future to make a MMO taking place in the Starcraft Universe as it would just fuck up the story line even more than it already is in Starcraft 2.
