some freinds have been goading me to pick this up.

are there any zergling blood maps out yet?

in sc1 i designed one with unit type spawn controls and mass attack controls, how hard would it be to do this in sc2's map editor?

Are you talking about the maps where you send one unit in a specific direction on a small section and then the mass follows the direction on a larger map? If so, then there's already a map for it, so it shouldn't be too hard ;)

ahh right on. i actually pioneered that in sc1 lolz :p or at least up to that point i hadn't seen a custom map with that feature.

might be cool to get into map design again. with stuff like dota out there it will be hard to be on the same level where i was.

tbh i only worked on zergling blood variants for the most part back then. a few different ideas here and there and tweaks to the spawn rates. could spend hours playing those maps. :)

thing holding me back from actually getting the game is more an issue with having abosolutely no interest in the regular mode game play or the sp. from what i hear it's no tmuch different from sc1, and i got totally sick of it years ago.

so i picked up sc2 today..

:(

intro was the same cgi as the sc2 announcement trailer, like wtf?

got in game and was told to play practice league, but didn't see a an option to play custom games right off the bat so i skipped that.

then i only had the option to play 1v1, 2v2 etc. no chat room, no custom game menu browser nothing.

like wtf is this ****? honestly?

half the fun in sc1 was chatting a bit with some random stranger or a regular then making a game and duking it out in 1v1 or 1v2 or w/e or a custom map.

maybe i am missing something here, but the ui has gone ebyond ****ed and they re definitely cutting out the chat functions. i mean llike wtf????

When you leave the practice league more options open up. Custom games can be accessed by clicking join a game... You can chat in a custom game menu.

i figured out how to browse custom games, but wtf happened to the old bnet where you had a badass chat room and chatted with randoms and regulars between games? i'm so sad right now because of this.

their are rumors they might add them back in a future patch but they seem more focused on balencing right now

They actually confirmed they were coming, but didn't say when. They'll definitely be in at some point but we're talking Blizzard time here.

They balanced the zerg cause apparently people weren't playing zerg , so they buffed zerg.

that is so true. i was playing around 5 games last night and i only encountered 1 zerg in a team. I think zerg is a pretty powerful race if you know your way around.

back in the start of sc1 people played zerg less too, until the learned that zerg were pretty ****ing badass in certain ways once you learned how to play them. in some ways they were harder(because drones morphing into buildings instead of just building them for example) but in some ways they were just crazy. so long ago i don't recall details though.

at first everyone played terran or protoss in sc1 too, mainly terran. then later on people played terran less due to their weaknesses.

yeah , if you ask me terran is weak still, even in sc2 ( for me anyway) it's harder to play... I don't know why, but I have a harder time... Protoss I can do really well with, same with zerg. I have 100 wins zerg, 100 wins protoss 10 wins terran lol.....

I generally only play the Zerg. Mostly out of Habit as it was my favorite race from the first game. However, I have attempted to play as Protoss once and it was horrible I failed even more epically than I normally do.

Wow. I haven't logged on to Battle.net in months. I don't know why, but I somehow lost interest in this game. I didn't beat the campaign yet and the last game I played was a 1v1 match against my best friend.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
