Starcraft 2

SC 2 Battle.Net

Its nice to hear people talk about SC2 because I dont have it. Im at school and my internet connection flicks whatever it is im playing, or watching, which always cuts me off from games. Anyone know how to solve that 'flush packet' issue or something?

In the case you never really opened up a Brood Wars then I can see how SC2 might stand comparable to any other game. SC2 comes with a rewaxed version of SC that might add or subtract a type of newness to the haunt, but the real whammy is the map editor. It you never played Broodwars or atleast WC3's then I can see why its oddly unadvertised map editor might not interest you.

As someone mentioned it should be better then WC3's, and to say that is also assuring you "they're" going to rewax, and create, thousands of amazingly quality minigames and custom maps. The map editing tools and the online updates and expansions have given the editors such power that atleast one of the custom map games -Aeon of Strife/DOTA- has spawned into a standalone game that now sells copies for $30. Infact, two, League of Legends and Heros of something.

Thats the hope anyways. Blizzard is as big as business gets in the computer gaming industry. They spread their games out so something is always relatively new and so they always have a top selling game. I feel Blizzard never gets talked about on the regular news. I have no idea if you can invest in Blizzard, or, if as someone mentioned you go through Activision (how the hell do they own blizzard?). I also feel the older generation especially has no idea who blizzard is and that their brand name is a powerhouse when it comes to cult following. I guess the generation now was born in 1980+/- and I feel they would. Blizzard has always made quality products... dating back to the Lost Vikings on ye old Sega.

Anyways. I heard that they removed the chatrooms?? Why the hell did they do this and is the only way to message or chat with someone through email/vent? What are the best custom games right now, anything resurfacing?

One of my friends brought SC2 over but I was doing work. I did see him get rushed/have horrible allies and thus lose within the first five minutes in the majority of his games.

Thanks

It'll be interesting to see the game-play dynamic change when they allow for zerg units to climb up and over ledges and landscapes.. that will be a blast to watch.

I've recently been getting into league games with my housemates in 2v2 and 3v3.. I've never been a competitive player, and usually have no patience for strategy.. but im beginning to really enjoy the intensity of the tactics and strategies required to beat opponents, plus playing psychological warfare is just too much fun, you can psyche your opponent out just by a few simple tactics..

As for been rushed; this is a strategy seen in a lot of lower league games.. it becomes ineffective in the higher ranks, a rush leaves your defenses wide open, and a good player will be able to defend off any rush coupled with constant harassment of the opponents supply line, therefor severing there units production significantly providing you with an open opportunity to attack. Plus proper scouting will alert you to the fact that there planning to rush you and you can prepare your counter-rush accordingly.

It's all about fast intel; and decisive action, once you know what their planning.. you can prepare and adapt a new strategy.

I'd honestly be more afraid of a Terran Reaper rush than anything the zerg has in Tier 1. Reapers can jump terrain, rape workers, and trash buildings. Amirite?
 
Anybody playing this ? Not played SC before but was a big fan of the Age series RTS.



You sir, are in great debt and honor to the service that is StarCraft 2, and your thread does not announce screen names on StarCraft so that we may do battle. I'm "Alchemind" on StarCraft, so if we team up you'll surely be honored and bestowed at my magnificent 3rd place in the bronze league. Long live the Overmind and his insatiable corruption of the life-force he controls!
 
no just zerg rush dude

lol idk if that works in sc2


All the time, but a 10 pool and quickly following a roach rush, about ten shortly after, is something which I win 50% of games with. Roaches are cheap and are hard to kill as they counter almost all tier 1 units.
 
I got this game the day it came out and I have been playing on the ladder like a goddamn fool for many hours a day. It consumes my life.

Me likey.
 
on starcraft 2 menu chat, join the chatroom bluelight... i'm starcrap, if i'm not in a game we can friend eachother and link up. bluelight clan!

plus i need players for maps like WW2 Diplomacy (a brilliant map, with naval warfare/real ships). if a custom map isn't page 1 it doesn't tend to fill up, you need a party.
