I been thinking of making a multiplayer co-op level thats based on the last level of the protoss side mission, so what do you guys think? Good idea? So far I modified the level a bit, but I haven't tried it online yet (I wonder if Blizzard let me publish something like this)

SC 2 was a bit short, and did not have a campaign for zerg or protos (compared to SC 1) :(

See you say that, but we get 29 missions vs the first game which had 10 per side (30 in total....) so it's not that big a difference. Plus you get a few protos missions thrown in anyway.

Do It! I'll certainly give it a try (Y).

Me and Anaron just whooped some ass. Im glad I found a fellow neowin. Now, RAZOR get on bro! I know your on, but I havent played with you yet, we need to play soon. All the vets need to get together and own some bitches. Me and Anaron did that tonight.

I'd play with you guys but I think I'd hold you back. I'm a fast learner though!

I play with anyone who WANTS to play. I dont care too much about stats, more about teamwork, so feel free to add me on bnet.

@Matt: i wish there was an organized way(tournament mode!?) of actually get a roster from this thread going.

I just say add whoever has giving out there character code or email and just play.

OK, I didn't anticipate that I would like this game, but oh my goodness. It's been a while since I have found a game that has kept my attention for 4+ hours without making me feel it. I'm so impressed that I have instructed my wife to collect mine from HMV on the way home from work ;).

Big thanks to Paul for the trial key :D

I was playing for a while at a friend where he has actually paid for this game. He likes to play online, I dont know exactly why. Before I try to play it online I like to see how this game really is, because Im not that good as my friend, so I play like guess (I think thats what its called). After the fourth mission I have to say that the IA of the game is pretty bad. Crappy or better, ****ty. The more time you take to complete the mission, the harder the game become. Its pretty annoying and frustrating in many levels of frustration. You start a lil frustrated and with the time you ended up more frustrated that in real life. You take your time to build the places (to create a bot you need to create a couple of stuff that need some minerals or some **** like that and to build that you need another kind of bots to get those stupid minerals and so on) and then come those things destroying EVERYTHING in their path. WTF?!. Whats the point of this?. Make you frustrated?. For that is the reality (aka no job, no women because no job, etc).

I dont know till now why my friend like to play with this ****. More online, where chat with the other that destroy consciously what he build. He has fun of that. I dont see any fun on this. And to me is sad. Sad that someone destroy what you, with a lot of effort, you build.

We need a neowin training group or something to learn tacs. I'd like to play multiplayer, but im more what they call turtle type, ie i like to build up my forces. Rush tactics with just 1 or 2 types of untis kinda spoils it for me.

Anyways if anyone wants to add me, the game name is 'Earlgrey'

lol, I'm not even that good man. I really hyped up SC2 because I really like the story. But yeah, I'll defenitley would be up for some 3v3. As long as I'm your guys side :laugh:

I mean like, re-activating itself, or something like that.

yes it does , easy way to confrim is to move your computers clock forward 30 days and then disconnect from the internet it will ask you to validate your game. if you do this you will have to login again to battle.net and to reactivate guest mode.

Okay, thanks. :)

okay... here are my thoughts (i tried razorwing... i really did)

this game is EXACTLY the same at the one they released 12 or so years ago. now depending on who you talk to, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. But for me, it's not. I never liked the original. I played the first few missions, and while the session wasn't a bad time, i have no intention of going back to it. Thank god for that guest pass thing and i didn't pay for this. I literally cannot see any difference between 2 and the 1st one in terms of gameplay. Im sure the story is nuts (it's blizzard) and the developper tools are crazy (its blizzard) but for 12 years you think they could do more other then rehash the same game (i guess the entire nation of korea has no beef with that).

And also honestly the graphics are not great. Cut scenes, blurry and jaded. in game graphics aren't too bad (dawn of war looks better though IMO). Ran great though on my machine (maxed out @ 1680x1050). But yeah, im glad i didn't buy into the hype and buy the game.

Now blizzard, hurry the fraack up with a real warcraft sequel (fave RTS of all time and i think WoW is gay)

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.
