Hell Yah?

Hell myes!

I've been playing Starcraft since I was 10, and after BYOND it is the community I come back to most, I usually play UMS though...

If I am meleeing, I go with protoss or terran, I'm horrible with zerg. I blame the micro-management required.

Although the trapping is nice, you can pull that off with well placed spider mines and a missile turret, or with protoss you can just leave a bunch of reavers and corsairs in the corner.

I'm getting it as well. Got Starcraft Battle Chest for $10 to brush up my skills before it releases because I lost my old copies.

Man I can't wait either, although it has been quite a while since I have played Starcraft. Still though XD

I'm playin SC too ^^ Anyone who thinks they can take me, hit me up on mikeG_99@hotmail.com =D My zerg is beastly ;P

I use to play SC all the time then came the new patch, CURSE YOU NEW PATCH!! :hopping:
Anyways i wish this game whould come out this year :"( cuase im dieing to play it.

Isn't it coming out this fall or winter?

No, from what ive heard its not coming out till like summer of 08
From the video i watched it whould seem they need about a year to finish everything since the game is still in its early stages of devolpment.

The problem with zerg is that you have so many troops sometimes that macro alone can become pretty tough (compared with other races anyway). IMO anyway.

I'm not too much of a SC expert though, I only played it as a kid. I've only gotten pretty good with playing WCIII. I've been playing SC again recently. If I finish the campaigns before the end of july, i'll email you mega and we'll fight a bit (you might slaughter me terribly).

Is it true that scouts suck? I thought they were good, but I was a stupid n00b, and the arguments on gamefaqs about them are pretty convincing.

I'm glad they're working on it. Blizz is sorta slow, but they're also very dedicated, and they've done really nice patchwork that they could've ignored. As a gamer...they don't make my favorite games, but they're probably my favorite company.

Can't blame Blizzard for being slow since they're a pretty small company (or used to be, I don't know about now-a-days) and their constantly keeping tabs on Diablo Battle Net, Starcraft Battle Net (they hold intense SC tournaments in Japan I've seen [www.crunchyroll.com]), and WoW.

Has anyone seen some of the new units? Protoss gets some new next level Dragoons and a ship that acts as a pylon. I'm not sure what new units Zerg and Terran are getting but I was surfing the blizzard website a couple days ago and I have to say that SCII looks toooo sick. And if anyone wants to try me on Bnet PM me or talk to me on msn.

The zergs are getting mini-infested terrains that morph from zerglings...

The unit that I'm looking forward to the most of all the announced ones so far is surely the Terran Reaper, imagine flying around a troup of twined gun armed fighters, faster then zerglings, with firepower around the rate of marines with faster shots, the ability to rocket pack over terrain, and then flying into the enemy base and raiding them.

The terran reapers look seriously bad-ass.

I personally prefer scouts over Terran Wraiths and Zerg Mutalisk (The other two races primary air fighters).

The main thing is, the wraiths get cloaking which as it is, is an amazingly handle ability for some more subtle strategies...
And of course, the mutalisk get to sweep the field, a large group of them tend to rip apart mass infantries quickly since they do 9 damage to 1 target, 3 to another, and 1 to the last.

Of course with upgrades you'll be doing 12, 4, and 1.

Scouts are the closest thing to meat shields of the 3 though, with higher HP and an 100 point shield compared to the wraith, identical ground blasts and a slightly weaker air blast. (Okay 6 points weaker, you got me.)

They can take a larger beating when trying to attack a base; of course they can get expensive I like them due to how well they can take hits and protect your carriers and more fragile airships. (Combine them with corsairs and you're gonna tear apart missile turrets.)

While we are on the subject of Starcraft itself lets all go on about our SC 1 experiences.

I started over and found I kick so much more ass now then I used too. Does everyone remember the Terran mission where you have to survive for 30 minutes? Use to take everything I had to just survive but now not only did I survive but I wiped out the entire Zerg base(s) [only had one Hatchery? but it was pretty wide] just a second before completion and not a single building destroyed.

Sounds like a plan ^^

Scouts aren't terrible anti-air, but my god does their attack to units on ground suck. You can't even really use them to take out workers effectively, which is pretty sad considering the health of the workers - Watch as they make mince meat out of BCs and Carriers however... Wraiths/Mutas as well, but Corsairs are just 10x better then them at that.

What I find most flawed about the Scouts is cost effiency. :/ By the time you build 12 Scouts you'll have 36 Mutilisk storming your base with Zerglings and Hydralisk backing them up.

I'm definitely excited. :-)

You did byond? I was on that place for a while.

Did you play mafia, that spy game, or the game with psycho killer ppl? Those are the ones I remember best.

I think I went as bucket on there, or mr bucket, or something like that.
EDIT-

Same story w/ me. I used to have my bunkers destroyed and shit. I didn't actually destroy the base cuz I thought it'd be too strong.

Then there were like 1 or 2 minutes left...and I realized it was DONE. Like, the final attack wave had crapped out early. So I replayed the mission and smashed the base.

Yeah. Even though the base takes up 9/10s of the map it only has one Hive and is stretched out so thinly it doesn't offer much of a challenge. I was so disappointed because I didn't even need to bother with reinforcing my army or buying Frebats even.
