official StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

[YounGMessiah]

Patch 1.3.0 is now live (with new league icons).

Also, Blizzard decided to remove the Khaydarin Amulet upgrade for High Templars. There goes +25 starting energy. :(

Yeah that upgrade I used a lot!

[Minifig]

Wish I'd bought this instead of NFS HP, I hope I get my refund. :/

remember your build orders, shortcut keys and micro/macro well and you will be fine.

if they rush you and you only have 1 or 2 units, send all your workers to defend.

The

will no longer be possible it seems?

Units leaving the Mothership's Vortex are now un-targetable and immune to damage for 1.5 seconds. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/2514162#blog

IMO the best race to learn with is Terran, as you can at least learn how to wall in and build some troops before getting wiped out. Plus you can mass their basic unit (marines) and still have a chance :laugh:

One of the things that a lot of new players don't get is that unlike other RTS games, you need to mass up your production facilities. It's common for everyone to begin with at least 2 barracks, 3 gateways, or if they're Zerg, to quickly expand to two hatcheries with queens.

Considering the campaign is primarily Terran-only, I'd say it's the easiest race for new players. I play as Protoss exclusively. I don't like Terrans and I can't do well as Zerg if my life depended on it.

Anyway, I've added a poll. What race do you play as the most?

You forgot "Random" Anaron :p, I play more with random, then Zerg.

Speaking of this game, anyone want to play Left 2 Die? I played it during the beta phases and now it's much, much harder.

[YounGMessiah]

I totally would, but im leeching off of someone's Wifi lol and dunno if my connection will be stable/reliable.

That was one of the four mods at BlizzCon 2010 right? The name is really familiar. I haven't tried it or any non-standard map.

I proudly represent the (underpowered) overmind!

[trag3dy]

So I'm curious to know, I haven't played much and I don't see the reasoning behind it. Why is it that only terran siege tanks seem to do friendly fire? Out of all the units in the game that have splash damage it only seems like the tanks have friendly fire so I don't get it.

Am I wrong that only they have friendly fire or am I missing something?

[Andre S. Veteran]

Psionic storm and nukes do friendly fire as well.

Just apply it to real life thinking :p xD

StarCraft II adds three official custom maps

Blizzard has now officially released three of its promised four new free custom maps for StarCraft II players.

The three maps, originally announced and shown to the public at Blizzcon last year, have been in beta testing for a few months, but are now available for all to download, complete with new achievements for players to unlock and display proudly. The achievements for each map are listed on the game?s official web site.

The custom maps include StarJewled, based loosely on PopCap?s puzzle game Bejeweled. Another is Left 2 Die with players building defense structures to keep out Zerg at night. The third map is Aiur Chef, where players collect different components and outrace others to make meals. Really.

I haven't tried StarJeweled or Aiur Chef but Left 2 Die is pretty good. (Y)

Nydus in MAIN! Nydus in MAIN! :laugh: We should play that again.. try and get those achievments.

[YounGMessiah]

Anyone got good Terran builds? I am tired of just relying on marines and maruders.
