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

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;23928791]3-1. 3 zealots can kill a zealot with no micro, two can kill a zealot with micro.[/QUOTE] You mean zerglings right [editline]07:15PM[/editline] [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23928611]Yep, and I admit, I have no idea how to micro zergling yet. 4-1? Still zealot though.[/QUOTE] To micro zerglings you just pull away the damaged ones so the zealot/whatever switches to another one and then you send the zergling back in, of course if they are controlling their zealot as well that adds some difficulty too but they are forced to then chase that low hp zergling or fight the other one.

Hey. My friend has a problem with his game. He has a 9800 GT, 512mb (latest drivers), Vista, a 1.8ghz amd dual core, and 3gigs of RAM. 5 minutes after he gets into any game, he crashes with an error saying his graphics card memory is low. Shouldn't 512mb be sufficient?

[QUOTE=pdkm931;23928998]Hmm Me and Auster is a good 2 on 2 team atleast :biggrin: MMM > All.[/QUOTE] :love:

I've won the last 4 matches as zerg in a row without much problem, I still think Zerg has some disadvantages such as no anti armor and weaker scouting abilities and the total lack of a cliff climber sucks, but they're only slightly behind the other two races. Just a tweak or two would be nice.

LOVE this game, not really that good at it, but gradually getting better with a few friends in the online ladders (Bronze, lol). Anyway we just had an EPIC match, (3v3) friend 1 gets wiped RIGHT at the start by protoss cannon rush, They then proceed to try and cannon rush me, but fail as i manage to kill them. Me and friend 2 then build our counter army's judging from what they have, I pump marines and siege tanks and friend 2 pumps THOR's. After building a lot of each and having no recent enemy attacks, we then move forward to take out enemy 1. Terran base, doesn't have a great load of units, take him down easily, and then we hit the second base, He had siege tanks and some air units, but our units outnumbered them. Friend 2's THOR'S moved in, and my siege tanks were set up beside the base, so that they could assist the THOR'S without getting damaged. With base 2 clear, we move onto Enemy 3 and see this..... A LOT of protoss defense! [img]http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/443/fagsr.jpg[/img] But it was too late and our units got wiped by this MESS of a defense system. By this time we had A LOT of money back at base and a LOAD of units left behind. VERY quickly we gathered what we could from base, i had around 8 siege tanks and a few marines. We move them in and set the siege tanks up RIGHT at the side of the base, so that the tanks could see the defense turrets, but the defense turrets could not see us.. All we needed then was a few Radar Scans from our Orbital command centers and the siege tanks RIPPED into the base, then the enemy's surrendered leaving us with a LOVELY victory. :) IF anyone does not have this game and is debating whether to get it or not, GET IT NAOOOWWW. BTW, Has anyone ever won a match without the enemy quitting? :P They always seem to bitch out.

[QUOTE=Merkw00t;23929526] BTW, Has anyone ever won a match without the enemy quitting? :P They always seem to bitch out.[/QUOTE] I've never won a match without the enemy quitting. Sitting in the game is not nice.

[QUOTE=Merkw00t;23929526]BTW, Has anyone ever won a match without the enemy quitting? :P They always seem to bitch out.[/QUOTE] My first match involved a lot of time spent chasing down 2 rogue Command Centers the enemy lifted off. Usually though they just leave. Sometimes I get a "gg" but so far they've never hung around to let me reply.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23929751]Whoever built that defense was retarded...[/QUOTE] LOL, Can you imagine if the guy who this defense system belongs to was a Face puncher and he saw this post, oh my god i wish, what an absolute Nance! All we had to do was take out 4 pylons and they all went offline hahaha.

I'd love to see the replay by the way for that :P taking out pylons in photon cannon defenses is always hilarious.

[QUOTE=Frozen;23929939]Anyone?[/QUOTE] Is the textures in Ultra? As they recommend 1GB for texture buffering(or something like that) on ultra. Else so should High be enough with 512MB.

[QUOTE=Frozen;23929939]Anyone?[/QUOTE] I'm no expert on tech issues, but isn't the 9800 GT quite old now? and has he/she tried turning the graphics setting's down? and seeing if it still crashes? Try contacting Blizzard Technical support to see if they can help with this matter.

I can play with you guys soon!

Getting this tomorrow, can't wait

[QUOTE=Crazy_Farmer;23930187]i have an 9800GT and i'm still maxed out[/QUOTE] Hmmmm maybe i am wrong then, that is ALL i could think that the problem could be. maybe a hardware failure i don't know ^_^ just chucking ideas in :P

Sheeit I haven't played in like 4 days imma be rusty as fuck

I'ved noticed that as I've gotten better my APM has actually gone down. At the beginning, I was spamming everywhere to cover every aspect of my base so that nothing to past me and I was hitting 100apm. Now I just chill out and react to stuff as it happens. I just got off a 14 win streak somehow after I lost to a rank 1 diamond player, and I looked over my replays, my last win was at 30apm.

It means you are efficient with your APM. No point in having 400 APM if most of the actions are spam.

ugh. Destroying 4 hatcheries on hard in the mission "Zero Hour" is fucking hard.

I need to begin training to not suck at 1v1

well to be honest i'm better in 1v1s than in team games because in team games i really don't know what kind of build order i should follow, me and my friends don't exactly have team strategies

Onox says that he can't do anything until tomorrow. So...yah. Whoever that matters to..yah.

Just beat the campaign it lived up to the hype, that was damn good.

I'm always better in 1v1s because in Team games I'm almost always carrying the team. That and in Team games, even if you defend against a rush, it won't work if all the enemy players attack you at the same time and your teammates are jacking off somewhere not building units to help defend. :v:

Is there anyway to stop early game rushes as a zerg?

[QUOTE=cornndog;23931360]Is there anyway to stop early game rushes as a zerg?[/QUOTE] What kind of rush issues are you having trouble with?
