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.

    • This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!
    • This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.
    • illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
