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.

Finally finish the campaign, and boy am I GLAD I picked up this game. The story alone is worth getting the game, it's so EPIC :woot: :woot: :woot: !

Now off to play on Hard and Brutal :p .

is it even possible to win on those? I can barely make it on normal :D

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?

I'm not quite finished yet.. but I think I'm getting there.

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?

See here: http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/League_(StarCraft_II)

Good luck (Y) .

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.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
