man i should have posted that allready but yeah i agree with you there morb
-
Guess we might finally see another game replace WC3 variants as the defacto RTS.
I never did get into the original SC, but I'm sure I'll pick this one up :)
-
I dl'd sc+bw last nite, been playing a few missions in the terran campaign. Seems pretty cool.
-
Very cool game went through all the missions a few times. Love starcraft cutscenes.
always wanting to complete the new lvl just to see the next cutscene and new weapons :)
-
Start playing the old one again. "battlecruiser operational" :) "ready to shoot" man it brings back good memories. But i guess some of the IE buddy's missed out the best RTS so far just because it's already a ancient game ;) ( It was released in 1997 or 1998 i think.)
Also if you see the gameplay trailer look at the ingame ads like " nuke cola" and " real men dig deep" :P
Hope they give the units a dozen reply's again if you click multiple times on them.
And Delling pick up the old one m8, it's still great to play and i bet once you started you can't stop :)
p.s. In Holland you can buy a original copy with Broodwar exp. for like 10 euro's now.
And untill about 2003/2004 it stil was the mostly played online game in the world, that should give the younger gamers amounst us an indication of how good this game is. (korea gamers still play it alot i think.)
p.s. funny thing is, last week was the last patch for it!
Gogo Blizzard, i want to hear my favorite units saying "nuclear launch detected" again.
-
"Goliath Online!"
"Fire it up"
mmmh, SC. Back in 98 when it was released, I skipped school for 2 days pretending to be sick, just to play the singleplayer campaign :D
I'm really looking forward to this, it's gonna be great :)
-
I cannot wait!!!!!!
Terran FTW.
I do hope however, that SCII will really bring something new. Like WC3 really brought something new with heroes and moving/fighting buildings (ancients). I mean, C&C3 was a real turn-off becoz it's so plain boring compared to f.e. C&C Generals, with the side-powers. If SCII has something really innovating now THAT would be awesome!
"Raynor here!" :P "We feel your presence"......
Aur.

Actually quite attracted to this game.. the zerg seem quite like tyranids in warhammer 40k playstyle wise, which would suit me fine :)
-
And another good thing i have seen in the gameplay demo, they implemented NE females dancing Starwars style :)
-
A memories. Starcraft and BW <3
Zerg micro ftw
-

I think you would love them! the whole Zerg term came from this game and how they attack, its so pretty watching destruction on a massive scale, i get all teary eyed just thinking about it
-
ZERGLING RUSH HOOOOOOOO
-
Hey, I reckon we'll have at least a few Iron Edgers getting SC2, we should probably set up a SC2 SCEC...
I hope the network gaming portion of it is as simple and well executed as WC3's was, hopefully even better :)
-
There's a new leaked PC Gamer gameplay video showing some of the other Protoss units:
-
im gonna get SC2 xD
-
I got to get a PC which is able to run SC2, 20fps in WoW was close already!
-
here is a 21 minute gameplay trailler

BlizzCon news: Starcraft 2 single player will be split into 3 standalone games. The first will only include the Human campaign.
Sounds like a stupid idea so far.
-
It prints money......
-
SC / BW has been one of my fav. games since what...2001 or something?
Me and archz was pretty hardcore, with some irl mates that lives nearby..
Me and a friend played with the Norwegian "C" National team (lol, C..:p)
alot, so YAH! was fairly good 3 years ago :p
Gonna get SC2 the day it gets here, and im gonna try
to get real good, and kick all ur asses:D
-
Ill be sure to get Starcraft 2.
No denial in that, but the idea of it being split into 3 games is really stupid for consumers. Just thinking each box might cost around 50 $ is a bit scary, all 3 of them a total of 150 u.s dollars ? ...
... :'(
I really like the idea of buildings going underground if your units get stuck somewhere or you want to use them as a wall. :)
-
The game is amazingly fun. Zerg are awesome
Blizzard had the game up during DH. THink i sat there for a few hours playing multiplayer.
So far <3 Zerglings!

I did read about the whole split into three thing, and at first was wary. However, Blizzard has said that each one will definitely be a full-size game, and to their credit if they deliver the quantity of content, I can't see a reason to complain (I think it's a granted the quality of the content will be pretty high).
Plus, we get the added bonus of a whole game's worth of ZEEERRRRG. For the Swarm!
-
The 3split-part is still kinda shit as a lot of the fun/diversity during the original single-player SC campaign came from playing 3 races that each played diffently. Introducing new elements (new units/upgrades etc) in each level is an important singeplayer gameplay mechanic. Let's see how they pull that off in SC2 with just 1 race (or two, is the mini protoss campaign still in?).
Also, will there be some kind of tutorial for the other races? I imagine some non-SC-player playing the zergs for the first time in multiplayer. Will we discover all the new stuff just by trial n error?

Pretty good point about the multiplayer, I hadn't considered that at all. Perhaps they expect the pros to just know, and don't care about the casuals.

This will be sort of adding on to what Goza said. Im pretty sure that each game will have alot of content, I have faith in Blizzard for that. It has been aşready said each episodes length will be the same as the entire original Starcraft.
I forgot how many missions each campaign consisted of in the first game. But for example lets say 30 missions for each race. This time you will be playing up to 90 missions per race. Think of how much content there would have to be to satisfy the consumer.
Usually in singleplayer after every few missions or so you would get introduced to a few new units. Think the that introduction wait doubleing ? Or triple in this case.
But Ive always had faith in Blizzard before, Im sure they will come up with some evil scheme and make us happy. Especially Koreans in the pants. : p

Starcraft 2 coming out
====>
WC3 Dies
GIEF SC2 !!!
-
Can't wait for SC2 to come out..
going to play SC 100% when i get it! ::)
SCEC CLAN, ANEHOHEN?
-
Stop this video at 2:16 and check the big screen on the wall. Can be true?! :)
-
That's the SC2 team, so I assume the shot was taken at Blizzard. I'd be quite surprised if they internally still don't have the system up and running.
Didn't Blizzard say some months ago that the SP campaign was already done? All this delay stuff looks more like marketing/strategic planning to me.
But rumours are hot, let's spread:
(http://i45.tinypic.com/n1qnaa.jpg)
-
Beta is out. wheowheo!!
Anyone got an beta account?
-
Sadly not yet :(
-
I got my sc2 beta key, but im stuck in fukkn new york til sunday :'(
-
I'll gladly take your SC2 key...
-
haha no way, I got my brother to boot up my pc and let it download so I will be ready for when I get home :)
-
So selfish!
-
The blizzard beta thing doesn't work for me :(
-
Ya, I have a few friends with keys... they're all very excited.
I don't have one however :(
(My code from the 2008 invitational still hasn't given me anything...)
-
Is it wrong that I'm more excited about the campaign than the multiplayer? :)
-
Ya, I have a few friends with keys... they're all very excited.

(My code from the 2008 invitational still hasn't given me anything...)
you didn't get a wrath beta key from it?
-
Nope, but I was already in the early friends/family thing -- BUT... I don't know how the sign-up thing would know that... considering I wasn't logged in when I entered the key from the card...
-
Probably matched it to your DNA samples they took while you weren't looking.
-
Didn't got my activation either Dell.
Best we can hope for is that they forgot about those codes but remember them just in time to give us diablo3 beta access.
-
Here's hoping :P
-
this guy streams alot, talks tactics and shit... skipping sleep for this
http://www.livestream.com/starcraftmethod
-
I haes beta, will streem 4 monies
*if I ever finish downloading even this small 1.64GB at 300-400KB/s... how horrible it is to be at the mecy of the blizz downloader
-
I reinstalled old starcraft....
It's amazing how shitty I've gotten at RTS games, hardly playing them at all since the original starcraft (and I played that before brood war).
I'll study your streams carefully, and find your weakness Kawe.
-
Will suck penis for beta key.
Salad tossing optional.
-
Wish I had sold my beta key before redeeming it. I can't use it till they release a client for Mac :(

I'll give you a starter for ten, my primary weakness in RTS is being very bad at them.
-
Here's hoping :P
To bad Dell, i got a mail last night, and got the starcraft beta key.
But i will trade my sc2 beta key for a Diablo3 beta key!!
And i guess i'll have to agree with loltrol.
Starcraft was the last RTS i've played, back in the 90's when i still was in my teens.
-
You can also watch replays on your own computer without a beta key by haxxing the beta client a bit. Better quality than streams.
http://www.gamereplays.org/starcraft2/portals.php?show=news&news_id=584031
-
Ahahaha
I got a beta invite too, back on February 18th.
But I thought it was just some kind of 'here's what's new with SC2' email.
-
Just in: Dell can't read mails!
-
Anyone want it?
http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=starcraft+2+key&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=starcraft+2&_osacat=0&bkBtn=1
Will sell for somewhere around ebay price -- a bit lower, if we can avoid FEES.
-
Lol, you realy selling your key.
.
.
.
On the other hand, i should have done the same.
And instead just reinstall my old sc + broodwar to get the same effect.
What a worthless piece of crapgame Blizz made imo.
Let's just hope the campains can give me some happy play time.
-
What a worthless piece of crapgame Blizz made imo.
its a beta...
and explain this then
also i aint that interested in SC 2 from the looks of it they arent realy trying to do anything new with it

Ofc. why do you think i find it crap, it's almost the same as sc1, just a couple of other units and a tweak here and there :(
Gogo work on D3 blizz!
-
The same epic gameplay with better graphics? What's not to love? :)
-
From the replay client, yeah it's pretty much the same game, but that was quite obvious for months.
Also, how is D3 different to D2?
-
How is WC1 different from WC2? ;D
-
How is WC1 different from WC2? ;D

Yip, i guess i was just hoping for to much.
Making Morb a sad panda about the D3 remark btw :'(
-
New dungeons, new class (MONK!), new mechanics and best of all, new graphics. What more do you want from d3? A whole new game would ruin the gameplay. Like CS: Source did to CS 1.6
-
Starcraft's strength has always been it's seemingly endless possibilities of strategies, coupled with being probably the best balanced game ever created, still having three very diverse races to play as.
Starcraft 2 will simply take everything that was good in the original game, and create the same game with slightly different units and new possibilities. In order for Starcraft 2 to catch on, it has to be very carefully balanced to replace it's successor, and that's why Blizzard is focusing so much on the single aspect of what we know to be standard multiplayer.
If you were looking for something new to ship with Starcraft 2, don't worry though. I think the campaigns will be vastly different from the standard Starcraft multiplayer. And then there's always the powerful editor which will spawn countless tower defense and aeon of strife type games, along with hopefully something completely new.
Stop being emo Morb!

Let's hope you get it right with your last paragraph loltrol, because for me the whole pvp part just isn't doing it for me so far.
Read: Morb probably just can't stand the fact he's getting pwnd to often, being to old and to slow for games like sc2. ;)
But i love the fact some of my 1998 strategy's still work, nostalgia FTW! \o/
And if there's someone emo atm it must be Cwave seeing his post. :o :P
But if anyone knows a (save) way (if even possible) to share my sc2 beta account i won't mind sharing it. (Although i don't see any way to do it tbh.)
-
Read: Morb probably just can't stand the fact he's getting pwnd to often, being to old and to slow for games like sc2. ;)
ah so the lovely APM bullshit from SC is back in SC2 huh
-
Well isn't AMP in a rts games like SC2 always important?
After a game is played you have a neat timescale thingy where you can see when you have build what. Your also able to see it from your ally's/opponents btw.
So after checking that a couple of times i found out it's probably not my AMP but more my lack of skill at controling my army/units (attack, move, patrol, repair, stop, hold position etc.) fast enough and at the same time continue to build up your base/army properly.
Aka The male who can't do more then 1 task at the same time syndrome. :P
-
ro me it feels like having high APM doesnt mean it has a smooth interface
meaning having the micro-manage every unit on the field might seem fun to middle management people (and me some times) but most of the time its alot of fun to just have 2 armies having a slug match in the middle of the map and just watch the carnage
different mind set different people i supose
then again i am a bit of a relic fanboy but whatever

They have cracked the beta client to enable anyone to play against the AI.
Though, thats hardly an AI, it does some buildings and a few units, thats kinda it. But you can check out the whole game in a kinda sandbox way.
Anyway, let the client update itself (I had to reinstall the client or it would complain about some missing file), then start the lazylaunch.exe hack and select the hacked the map you want to play (to be downloaded from
http://www.gamingnewslink.com/2010/02/28/tutorial-play-starcraft-2-beta-crack-with-ai-starcraft-2-beta-ai-maps/ )
lazylaunch.exe gives a virus/trojan warning. They claim thats because it has some BlizzStealthCrap wrapped around it... well... try on your own risk. Anyway the hack does work.
-
I haven't played the Starcraft 2 beta that much but have they enabled the play against the AI thingie in the real beta as well? Just wanna know before I start messing with this.
-
Yes they did enable playing against AI in the real beta. But as Goza already stated the AI plays even worse then me after an all nighter.
Only thing i used play against the AI for is to build everything savely and in that way able to check out the new units/buildings.
Also there have been 2 patches so far, they nerfed the protos abit (rightfully imo.) and as it looks now we got the Arbiter back again, only this time in the form of the mothership.
see: http://www.sc2armory.com/ for patch notes.
Also afaik you can only play 1vs1 or 2vs2 atm. But maybe that's because i'm in the copper leagues (noob leagues) that i'm not able to play 3vs3 or 4vs4.
You are able to play FFA btw.
Single player isn't alowed either.
But if you have questions feel free to ask and i'll try to anwser them and where needed or asked post some screenshot's etc.
-
There's a better AI now:
http://darkblizz.org/Forum2/ai-scripts/starcrack-ai-official-thread/
Tried it and it kicked my butt so far. Dammit!
-
This morning i got a mail with the following tittle:
StarCraft(r) II: Wings of Liberty(TM) Beta Test - Invite a Friend!
First i thought it was a fake, but it's a genuine blizz mail with a beta key.
I'm not sure if this counts for everyone who already had a sc2 beta account but if so my advice is go suck up to anyone you know who already got a beta key to get your hands on this key :)
-
*sucks up*
Could pay you some dollahs
-
Shit, sorry Vorte.
Let me be clear on this, i already gave mine away to HECKTOR SMASH!!!
Just thought letting you know this because some of you might know someone who got a beta key.
-
Doh! Means maybe kaweruki got hold of one!
-
Will toss salad for a key.
Or send comprimising pictures of delling getting chiefed by me and my roommate.
-
Will forever love anyone that gives me a key :P
In a purely manly way of course.
-
Apparently ppl who got SC2 keys now have 1 Friend Invite if they check their mail box.
I would like one if anyone has a spare. My email is my MSN under my profile.

Doh! Means maybe kaweruki got hold of one!

And a week later he get's another email to invite a friend to SC2 Beta. Problem solved ;)
-
I just found out Blizz did another "give a beta key to a friend" email.
And since i only have RL friends who are 30+ and therefore not suitable for SC2 read: dementia alcoholica, i thought i smack this one in here.
First one who posts a genuine picture of Gris gets it! :P
Or i can give it to Mouse so she can build bridges.

Devlin just send me a mail @ sossa_demon@hotmail.com and i will forward you the Beta key.
Guess Vorte, Goza etc. have one by now, if not it seems they can suck up to Kawe, he must have a dozen keys by now :)
Btw 27 July is the release date of SC2.
-
Got a key off the very generous Gozhell, and my god is this game fucking awesome! More people need to get it so we can play some IE games. Been playing all night and this pwns.
-
GIEF KEY !!!!! I WANTZ MY ZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG!
-
Pre order it and u'll probably get a key.
-
I think gozhell preorderd and got the key then he just cancel the order :P
-
ah nice. do u pre-order from Battle.net or ??
-
Gozhell did it from some store dunno
-
I got mailed a key from game.co.uk today.
-
sweet.
so can u muti-player together ? or is it single player campaign?
-
About to try and play a Vs. with Gozhell, will let you know shortly.
-
sweet.
so can u muti-player together ? or is it single player campaign?
I think the beta is strictly MP only. There isn't even any AI included with the game. It's all unit balancing and mechanic testing.
I'm sure they dont need hundreds of thousands of players to check whether in-game cut-scenes work :P
-
Patching atm, get ready to get dominated! :'(
-
Haha sweet, I think Sint has a key too some we can do some 2 Vs. 2 if you're up for it?
-
I would like som Sc2 2v2

Is there any good strategy guide-ish thing out there for SC2?
I build tons of zealots, start my rush early, but then he builds up a WALL OF 500 LONG STABBY ARMS THAT KILL MY ZEALOTS. I build some air instead, so I can take out the stabby arms, but then he's had the time to build up a massive army of hydralisks behind his faggot wall. There must be some way to counter it, other than "he got lucky and went with the right strategy". I know I'm bad, but it's the frickin' bronze league!
OOOOR. I rush air things, but then the terran opponent has rushed viking-faggots, immediately starts SPAMMING starports as soon as he sees me going air, and takes me down.. THIS IS INFURIATING, I NEED SOMEONE TO TEACH ME THIS GAME
-
I googled 'starcraft 2 terran guide' and came up with a few. What do the numbers on the left in the build orders mean?
-
No idea about protoss, but they seem to rape me pretty badly
-
Carried by carriers yo!
I got the game now, played a few noob games.
I still know a few tricks or two, but the game seems a lot slower :(
Anyone up for playing some games today? :D
-
I still know a few tricks or two, but the game seems a lot slower :(
Your first few games aren't played on the max speed setting!
-
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Main_Page has quite some strategies/terms etc.
I googled 'starcraft 2 terran guide' and came up with a few. What do the numbers on the left in the build orders mean?
The numbers in the build orders represent supply. So, for example '10 Overlord' means that you build an Overlord when you have 10/10 supply. '12 zergling' means you build zerglings when you have 12/18 supply.
Oh, someone add me :D. Guanoape.guanoape

If any of you have an extra key < mishicabp@gmail.com
thanks
-
What's your nick, archz?
-
I owned Gozhell pretty badly playing Protoss by just building those striders that can blink asap and rush him. Seems like a good strategy so far, it has worked a couple of times!
-
Meerkat.meerkat
I'm still rusty, been a long time.
-
Arches.olav
-
And what is supply? :(
-
it's "housing" basically. Drones take up 1 supply, and up to the heaviest units that take 6 or 8 supply. If you run out of supply, you build supply depots, overlords or pylons!
-
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
DON'T YOU GET IT
WE NEED MORE FUCKING PYLONS.

Do you have a folder of those Palmar...? Quite the collection :P

So, I have the beta it's fun.
Got placed in silver league, I think it's a bit over the top since if I win games it's usually by ZERG RUSH KEKEKEKEKEKKEKEKEKEKEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lost a few 2v2's with kili, I like 2v2 too, although I'm not a big fan of maps where the teammates share an entrance, way too easy to turtle in a situation like that.

I love those actually, hate it when people rush in with some speedlings and kill all the workers of my ally without me being able to help

Any1 with spare key maybe? :D

We should do a 1v1
I think it'd be good for your sanity.

Right, gonna get some strategy discussion started.
I seem to run into the same problem a lot with my zerg. If my opponent successfully manages to wall himself in with 2 bases, then it really doesn't matter, I've lost. Even though the rest of the map is under my command, I still die like a pig to terran or protoss capital units. (thors, colossi, battlecruisers, carriers etc)
My main problem is air. The zerg are really strong on land, but very weak against air. For starters, we have no tier 1 units that can fight air aside from the queen (and I've actually taken up the habit of building extra queens to battle void ray rushes). But that'd really be okay if the problems ended there. the list of zerg units that can attack air is: Hydralisks, Mutalisks and Corruptors.
Compare this to stalkers, carriers, pheonixes, void rays, immortals and sentries for protoss.
Mutas are really for harassment, and I successfully scout and harass with them, the problem is that the enemy is happy in his walled off two expansions with bunch of cannons or turrets.
Hydras are good, but they die brutally to anything with a splash damage.
This leaves corruptors, and I just... have no idea what to do with them, they seem allright but they just don't feel right. I have yet to go into combat with a capital ship fleet and win.
another thing is that breaking walls feels way too hard. banelings sorta work, but since they usually have air dominance and splash, nothing seems to break through. If I could dominate the air, I could at least drop things from overlords.
Meh, guess I'm just ranting here, but I feel like the zerg need something to counter air. it's ironical that there is a unit that would fill the missing niche almost perfectly.... the sc1 scourge.

It's all practice man, what's your addy?

narw.nawr i think!

@ Palmar - Nydus with roaches and banelings + muta harass sounds like something that should be done more, then ofcourse it's harder to get a nydus up the better player you're up against.

@ palmar , saturate the 8-10 banelings with 6 or so zerglings. Then the lings eat
the innitial damage so more of the Banelings can make it to the wall.
-
Reapers need a nerf though -.- a BIG nerf. At the very least a CD on thier jetpack.

If you still need a KEY, go go http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft2/thread/536130/start/0
I just took 2 keys like that ;D
correction: I just took like 10 keys in 10min.. after that got bored. Keys work, i just added them to my 2 battlenet accounts

I left Blizz downloader while I was sleeping and it downloaded 400mb from SC2 client in 6h.. wtf? Guess its gonna be easier to just copy client from some friend.

It was quite slow for me aswell.
-
Try turning off the peer-to-peer.
-
So it seems zerg was too hard for me for a starter, required too much harrasing while keeping eye on way too much stuff. Switched to protoss, 2-3 void rush have yet to fail me. This comes from shitties copper league 1v1 but the disproportion between not sucking totally as zerg and not sucing totally as protoss is huge. Much more forgiving race.

So carried.
-
So, new patch is here.
I have no idea why they nerfed the ultralisk. I like the rest of the zerg changes.
ALSO, VOID RAYS NERFED FOR GREAT JUSTICE.
Doesn't matter though, cause I rape retarded protoss players going for void rays, but I just don't like the playstyle it forces me into, and I hate them cause I know many people don't know how to counter the void ray rush.
-
You are able to even play atm? After patch i droped 5 times from my 6 games and gave up till they fix this. And i guess your strat vs scouted void ray rush would be 4 queens?
-
queens and spore crawlers yeah, then i kill or contain them with speedlings and later on mutas
-
After the patch im having CONSTANT problems vs terrans that goes mm and a bit later mmm. They basicly pin themself at base with tanks, turrets and let me roam free at 2+ exps (a banshee harass here and there which i easily counter with queens + few mutas, then they switch to vikings usually), i do few harrasses with muta's at this point, which denies him a bit of farm, but the moment he decides to move that ball and i dont have brood lords its gg for me. I lost at least twice that way to players that had like half of my apm...
Was thinking maybe banelings would be more efficient with slowing em a bit instead of trying to push (or more like crawl, greater spire upgrade is taking ages) for blood lords?
Also a bit of whine, as much as i like playing zerg and spread that creep all over the map, its very annoying how predictable it is and how efficient gate blocking is vs em.
ADVERTISMENT: WTB GC, 10k gold.

I think mech Terrans are much harder to beat than MMM terrans. What I do against MMM is just contain and overpower. Banelings and Infestors rape the ball of units, and your economy should be so far ahead that he really has no chance. I usually fast expand against terrans unless I spot an early hellion, in which case I'll get 2 spore crawlers up and quick roaches.
If they go for straight up MMM I usually stick with the fast expansion and get speedlings/mutas for map control and then I just contain and harass them. I also plant banelings randomly. If they fail to tech to ravens (which will delay them since they're usually on one base) the banelings can and will destroy them if planted nicely around the map.
Basically, whenever I play against terran I assume that he will win me unit for unit, so I play the game thinking I'll need at least twice the resources he has, and it just turns into a macro fest.
However, I have no idea how to counter a terran that does a mech build on two bases. There is simply no way I can take on a hellion/tank/thor army. All I can do is abuse how immobile such an army is by going air/drops/nydus and harassing, praying that I can slow his advance enough.

"Bacchus Moon it is! The vespene gas will be there on Monday."
Fkin' vespene gas its never there :/, i am really sick of having to over expand every single game just to keep gas flowing in as much as i need..
I mean, if i go for yellow mineral exp, with main focus to extract gas from it, you do know there is something inbalanced in zerg economy...but o well, thats what beta serves for i guess :)
-
I don't understand?
Zerglings don't cost any gas....

WHY BETA ISN'T UP I ONLY GOT 6 HOURS LEFT TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES FOR A WHOLE WEEEEEEEEK

The beta is patching atm, get your patch installed and ready to pley!
