official StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

[d4rk5ky]

So far i am loving this game and i hope Blizzard doesn't wait to long before releasing the other campaigns. As of the multiplayer i find the competition to steep. I find there are to many people out there who love 5 minute games, build a few units, rush and win, what's the fun in that?. Personally i love games that last like half an hour, gives you time to build up a nice army and then go in and kill lol, maybe that's just me i guess. Anyways if anyone wants to add me im not super great but im down for some fun. See my sig for my details. :cool:

I love how I'm getting matched with plat and diamond players in silver...makes for fun games.

I decided to be brave and get StarCraft 2 (despite my reservations that it would be "too hard" due to my experiences with StarCraft). Have to say I'm glad I just went out and got it, it's awesome :) I even completed a mission without my arse been kicked :D and I *might* even be able to complete the campaign (I never could in SC, even on very easy I got my arse kicked....). loving the way the single player campaign is delivered, very well done (Y) and it runs great on my aging Core 2 Duo machine too, bonus.

Where do we watch replays on battle.net? There's an achievement for doing that. Yes I'm an achievement wh0re. :laugh:

I haven't played much online yet, but so far I'm 2/0. Stomping both people I played pretty handily. I'm pretty proud.. we'll see how my streak holds up though. And I haven't cheesed the wins either. Just rolling out at what I think is an appropriate time.

That's the over heating problem.. it only happens in menus.

And I slogged through the entire SP campaign with no overheating (and I have an HD5450 that is passively-cooled, as in no fan at all). Settings were 1280x720 and (no fainting) High detail (despite the stock Celeron DC E1200 with the stock HSF).

Yes; I had fun. Yes; I was also somewhat surprised by the twists in the plot (however, not as surprised as some other posters, here and elsewhere, doubtless were).

I have done exactly *no* MP yet (that is, in fact, deliberate; I have things I want to do before getting into serious MP action).

Remember; a lot of us that were in the beta are tackling the *single-player* (because we got none of that during the beta). Because the beta was MP-only, I well and truly got turned into Protoss Stew (only two wins and seven losses, most of which were uglier than the Zerg Overmind's corpse).

Your record after Labor Day will really tell the tale (the serious MP players will have started to arrive).

By then, I'm actually expecting to be near the *bottom* of the NA Newbie Division (I know my MP blows).

on the multiplayer screen you'll notic around the top left there's an icon of a video camera. Click that.

Umm, there were no difficulty levels in the original Starcraft...

So I have to save my own replays? That's kind of lame. Or is there somewhere I can get some replays online or something?

Nevermind! 10 seconds after I posted this I figured it out. :wacko: :rofl:

Just had the worst match against a toss player. He rushed a probe into my main and basically forced me to relocate. And then proceeded to build only defense turret things the rest of the match in every base on the map pretty much. When I finally killed him off, he says to me "took you long enough to beat me". My god when some one wants to drag a game out they can really be an ******* about it.

To bad you can't rate players in the game. :crazy:

Well it did (but not in the traditional sense) but you had no control over it, it was auto scaled throughout the single player campaign and it didn't stay the same. If your thinking multiplayer then yeah it had nothing, it just went all out and you either dealt with it or got wiped out. The Terran campaign was the "easy" difficulty with Protoss* being "hard" and Zerg* being "hardest" (hence why you can only play Terran to begin with)...I struggled with that campaign and couldn't finish it as I found it "too hard" that was all I was referring too.

* = It's been a while since I played StarCraft, could of got the Protoss/Zerg campaign order mixed.

He proxi-cannon'd into your base at the start without killing you off...he did it wrong if you weren't ready for it then.

[Sikh]

He failed to proxy cannon you too because it should of been game over when he did that

My noob moment of a nuke >_>

[ViperAFK]

Just tried online for the first time(practice league) . I am pretty bad lol. First match this dude managed to get like 5 thors and two battlecruisers ridiculously early in and demolished me. Second match I did 2v2 and owned but it was mainly cause the other guy on my team was really good. In the end stats I had lowest economy and units.

My recommendation is that everybody skips the practice league. The maps are closed, the whole gameplay is slower. Overall, its really not the way to train yourself for online play. You'll do much better against a Hard / Very Hard / Insane AI.

Yeah... he would have beat me, had he warped in something other than cannons. He only used cannons which are easy to avoid. By the time he figured out the cannons weren't working I had my army built up enough to kill off the 5 or so zealots he had. I bet he was really proud of himself at first.

[Sikh]

Well not always. If we play I'll show you a true toss proxy. Learned by myself and from the best.

If done properly, army assistance isn't needed as a proxy shouldn't let you build at all.

How well does the game play on the MacBook (2009)? I'm thinking of getting the game but I won't be around my PC for about a month so I am wondering how it plays.

[Sikh]

On a 2009 Mbp 15" with a 9400 it plays well at 1024 with low/med settings balanced.

Razor LMAO

Quite apt for the experience I'm having with the game at the moment.

Gawd love Guest accounts and the cantina coin-op.
