What is that spinning barrack glitch. Never seen that happening. And what does emp on base does?

EMP on the Orbital remove it's energy so it can't scan the clocked Ghost.

As for the spinning barrack he's just making them float + parol at the same spot, you can do that with pretty much every units.

I must admit I enjoy every aspect of this game, enjoyed the SP and started over to do it on hard lol. I am a bit addicted to multiplayer and try to get better every game.. Its just there are a decent amount of "mastered" players which sometimes make it where you think people are cheating lol..

A proxy in sc2(which is what I thought of when reading this thread) is when you scout the other player and right away build in a hidden spot or in a dark spot they haven't discovered and slowly you move into there base.

Mostly toss players do it with cannons. You scout and quickly go in a dark corner plant pylon and start with 2 cannons and move your way into there base. After that game.

Me too. As for encountering God-like players, watch the replay and see what they do. You learn a thing or two which in turn makes you a better player. (Y)

My copy arrived a couple of days ago - loving the singleplayer campaign so far! I have never played a Starcraft game before - so I am doing the campaign and some challenges/AI games before jumping into the MP :)

I've done that before. It is a pretty good strat to keep tabs on your enemy, but any race can do it. I've seen it done more often with Terran. Never knew it made me a "proxy". :p

I been doing that lately and sometimes it seems like nothing extra than what I am doing, but it guess it goes a lot with timing too right?

Timing and efficient use of your APM is everything. How do you watch a replay? I find that watching it from the player's perspective helps. I can see exactly what they did. It helps when you're wondering, "How the hell did this guy get Immortals so fast?", etc.

Umm well I watch them in everyone view, but I watch all three or sometimes just one; I forget to watch them in single perspective.

Yeah I am going to study some of these replays a lot more /me saves more lol..

Try this first:

http://svc.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/

Type Starcraft II then click the button..

If that does not work try below..

Okay in no way here I am saying commit something illegal, but rather as a test before you decide to buy the game. I would suggest downloaded from a torrent website SCII, install it, and see if it works on your computer on low settings; then of course uninstall it. Once again not saying to commit something illegal..

Just finished the campaign, was quite good. Anxious for next two and curious what's going to happen next.

I really enjoyed it too actually - the cutscenes and cinematics were really well done :)

I am just getting into custom games against the AI now - with a view of getting into my practice matches soon :)

Continue playing against the AI, but on harder difficulty. And when you think you're ready, skip the practice league.

    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
