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

[QUOTE=acds;23943250]That's true but the scan can't be stopped, no matter where stuff is it can be scanned. Overlords can be stopped quite easily (especially in later Ts) if you want (at lest from getting into your main base), and if it's worth the extra effort, of course. Also Terrans have the Raven too, the scan is just an extra. Now that I think about it, Overlords and Scans can't really be compared, one is great to keep up with everything that goes on in the map (just park an overlord here and there), while the scan is pretty much as good as it gets for accurate scouting (it's not very useful if you don't knwo where to scan, but there isn't much better for scouting bases).[/QUOTE] But if a Terran is using all of their energy on scans, take advantage of their low economy and expand or harass them. MULEs are terran's main source of income. If they aren't using them, their economy doesn't live up to the Terran standard.

[QUOTE=Pixelnator;23943218]I played SC2 with my friend today. It was fun. Oh wait. No I didn't because the game is region locked :geno:[/QUOTE] That was well known before the release, if you want to play with him so bad agree on buying a similar region key. I know it sucks, bnet 1.0 had some benefits.

[QUOTE=acds;23943311]The problem is that Queens outside of Creep are too slow, they can't follow the army around and give AA support.[/QUOTE] By the time you're pushing with your army you should be to T2 and have hydras/mutas. [editline]adsf[/editline] Also, if you're vigilant with your creep pushing, your highway should be nearly at their base, too.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23943203]Well, I take that back, it's kind of a big economy slowdown but not as huge as a 10 or less pool. It sort of bridges the gap between super early agressive pools and later, standard, economic pools.[/QUOTE] I haven't played many matches with it, but for now it seems worth it. Zerglings suck against Zealots and Marines so I need to make quite a few, and the earlier I start the better (within reason). Marines become exponentially better against melee units with each addition. When the marines start forming a ball, Zerglings can only attack about 50% of the marines (they can't get to the inner ones) and those that they can attack can often only be reached by one or two lings, meanwhile the marines can target everything without problems.

But an eco build with roaches can deal with that

If you ever scout and see that your opponent is going to be doing an early push, get roaches asap.

[editline]adsf[/editline] Also, if you're vigilant with your creep pushing, your highway should be nearly at their base, too.[/QUOTE] The problem is that Zerg don't have a T1 softcounter to air. Again, Zerg can equal other race but it takes a lot more effort. The highway is pretty slow in large 4 player maps. It just feels like Zerg in T1 are pretty lacking. I usually rush to T2, and from there on it's all smooth sailing (unless VRs show up en masse, but that can be easily scouted).

Marines aren't really a "GGer" if scouted early, but they are quite a thorn in the side. And then Marauders.

My friend gave me a guest invite, but when the client is trying to download the installer for the game it keeps crashing with a runtime error, any fixes? (on windows 7 x64)

3 3vs3 wins in a row again. Getting better! Anyone know a good build for countering void rays, with me also being protoss?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23943936]It's worth the bother for how much roaches obliterate marines.[/QUOTE] True, MM though is really irritating, but burrowed Banelings take care of that, actually burrowed Banelings are some of my favourite units. [editline]08:19PM[/editline] Also Broodlords are fucking awesome.

I didn't say it [i]cripples[/i] it, but it definitely isn't up to it's usual standard.

Haha he's suuuch a whiny bitch I just watched a replay from him where he's telling Silver to apologize for being terran and then idra loses and leaves with "you're a joke"

I just encountered camouflage-patterned siege tanks in the train mission. [url]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f34/Miigga/Screenshot2010-08-0923_46_57.jpg[/url] Am I having some sort of a graphical glitch or are they really supposed to be camouflaged?

IdrA's a pretty cool guy, in my opinion. I used to think he was a whiny bitch, but ever since I watched 2 interviews from him I've gained a lot of respect for him. I also think his BM adds to his uniqueness, I love it.

I think he's just joking, you honestly can't be mad at a person for playing one of three choices.

IdrA whines but at least he puts up. He's clearly good, and you can't say that from your average B.net whiny bitch.

IdrA Rage! Zerg has a hard time in the early game due to fast expanding. However if a Zerg player does not fast expand, he can do fine. It should be no problem teching T2 on 1 base, but you need the second base to afford such an army.

Some of the custom games people have made are very fun. I like Runling run. I also enjoy the tank defense games way too much. Idra is know for his bm, he is a villian of Starcraft.

argh, just spent an hour on trying the 4 mediums vs you achievement (yes i'm shit, thats why i tried it), after nearly getting ass kicked so many times i finaly win...and discover that it doesn't count for the 3v you or the 2v you... if you can beat 4 surely it should count the others...
