Much better OP than the GAF thread. I still don't know what this game is about.
Never played a Starcraft game before. The trailers looked hot, though. The usual Blizzard stuff.

Both. But I just scrolled my arm off at the GAF OP. It seem to be an RTS game. A very polished one.
Might give it a try.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #7 on:** July 23, 2010, 07:22:25 PM »

There's probably better stuff out there if you're just looking for single player RTS, but it'll still be worth a play. The multiplayer is GOTY status, though

Third · « **Reply #8 on:** July 23, 2010, 07:37:26 PM »

I actually thought this would be a 3rd person adventure game after watching the trailers.
The only rts games I've played are Red Alert and Age of Empires. Don't think I can play the original Starcraft after having watched a few screenshots...

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2010, 07:38:49 PM »

i think i bought it awhile back. dont remember. we'll see if it shows up on my porch next week.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2010, 07:45:54 PM »

I was real excited for the beta and played a few times. I just don't know why I have no interest in picking his up. :/

Starcraft is an RTS, like chess
there are three races, like apartheid-era South Africa
terran are over powered, like paladins

I'll make sure to put that in the OP to give people a better understanding of the game

I watched that game you guys were talking about yesterday (Tester vs TLO Game 2). Wow. I wish TLO got that defensive nuke off, though.

Ha yeah. I think he could have gotten away with some nukes on expansions

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #26 on:** July 23, 2010, 10:09:48 PM »

I hope IntoTheRainbow takes the tournament. He's a Brood War Protoss -> SC2 Terran convert like me, and he was kinda unappreciated in the Brood War days, so I'm pulling for him

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #31 on:** July 23, 2010, 10:26:10 PM »

Idra against TLO? I'll bet on TLO. I don't watch many Idra games, but I've only seen him win like a couple games. Usually he gets owned by terran $:-\$

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #32 on:** July 23, 2010, 10:57:34 PM »

Nice win by Idra. That heavy macro strat never seems to work when I play lol. Usually it's all about preparing for the first big push from my opponent , I wind up not having enough workers on minerals, can't replace units after they die, then I'm out

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #33 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:14:29 PM »

Idra/TLO rematch. Great game so far

edit: ends just as I say that smh

Kinda felt like Idra could have held out if he had transitioned from hydras to corrupters once he saw what was up. He built the spire in time to do it

TripleA · « **Reply #34 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:21:09 PM »

Serious question: how many players per game? Is it still 1 VS 1?

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #35 on:** July 23, 2010, 11:23:13 PM »

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #38 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:27:14 AM »

From the GAF thread:

14 1v1 maps, 1 map 1v1v1, 16 2v2 maps, 11 3v3 maps, 10 4v4 maps

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #39 on:** July 24, 2010, 01:28:50 AM »

Not bad. Fans are going to create a shit ton of great ones

I wonder if highly rated fan made maps can be added to ladder games.

I had to go after the qxc/IntoTheRainbow series but I caught TLO/Idra when I got back. Some sweet games. That third one was a nailbiter, especially with the last push.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think TLO would have probably won if they weren't cross positions but that doesn't matter. Well played by Idra to come back after losing like 50 drones, and that counter drop was a brilliant move.

So will there ever be a 'Definitive' SCII with all expansions or are we talking about maybe 3 years from now?

I want the game too but I've never really played SC (just got it a few weeks ago actually to mess around with.) I love strat games but I've never really played any RTS.

Yeah it'll be years before there's one of those all-in-one battle chest deals.

The matchmaking system really helps with the learning curve. It's one of the few improvements to come from the new Battle.net but it's a big one. You'll probably take a while to catch on to some stuff if you've never played an RTS, but you'll at least be playing opponents of similar skill, so it'll still be fun

The campaign overview movie seems to indicate you can manipulate the outcome of the game. Would be really badass if you can.

So, I did the pre-install but Blizzard's site is miserably short on info. It's unclear whether I'll be able to pay with a non-US credit card, for example, or whether I can install on multiple PCs (or Macs - I wouldn't mind having this on my MacBook). I guess I'll find out on the day of release!

You can install on multiple PCs but you can only be signed into Battle.net once.
