I finally gave in to the hype and picked this up yesterday and I am glad I did, this game is epic fun. I wasn't sure if I would like it because I wasn't that big of a fan of the original I was more of AOE fan back then. I only played a few missions so far and its all ready passed Warcraft 3 TFT as one of my favorite RTS games.

I've been playing on HARD and have gotten along OK... I did have to restart one mission though.

Actually I was quite surprised by how easy it is on Normal. Baring one game when I made a big mistake, all of the missions were quite workable. Of course, on Hard and Brutal it will be a different story but I'm confident it's possible.

So, now that you've finished the campaign. Can you comment on Blizzard's statement about it being longer than all of SC1 combined?

You won't regret it. On another note, halfway to completing Mar Sara missions on Hard difficulty :p .

I don't know. It's been a while since I've placed the first StarCraft but all I can say is this - if you do concentrate on obtaining all the mission objectives and side missions available, then yes, it can be longer than all the original races campaign combined.

Working on completing all 29 missions on brutal to get the Sarah Kerrigan portrait :(

Damn, if only I could actually play Terran as good as I can play Protoss.

What's that mean?

Ah, so Platinum is the highest regular league you can be placed in. Way to go. (Y)

It is indeed. Thanks! My friend and I are dying to get into the Diamond league. :p We both play Protoss exclusively. Our worst match-ups are PPvTT. A good Terran duo will make use of ghosts (for EMP) and reapers/banshees (for harassing). As a Protoss player, it's very annoying.

If I were to ever join in, I'd be put in whatever league is below "Practice".

Haha! Unfortunately, there is no league below Practice.

Same here but I don't play player vs player in Starcraft I just stick to custom maps and skirmish with the comp.

Why not? I used to be like that when I first started playing Brood War in 2001. I'd always go against the computer and after awhile, it got boring. If you're worried that you'd get owned then practice. There's a whole league dedicated to that. Get the basics down and eventually, you'll be good enough to beat people. Trust me, all you need is a good build order for your race and some good habits like early scouting and walling up.

I am more of a casual player I have played Blizzard games like this since Starcraft 1 just not into the whole microing fighting thing.

Guys, if I have a NA guest pass, can I somehow make that into an EU one? Can you change the region of the trial?

not that im aware of you have to get a new trial pass for that region.

for the rest if you want an extra level in the campaign roll over this.

The secret mission is found on "Media Blitz" mission, by going to south/east of the map. You will find a science facility building. Destroy it and pick up the documents.

      Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.

      Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...

      By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
