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.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
