StarcraftII
 
Anyone else playing?

I've definitely enjoyed the game so far. Bought back some good memories from SC and BW :)

Golferluke 08-02-2010 12:24 PM

I want to but my computer = teh slows

Quality Control Bot 08-02-2010 12:25 PM

Was beta testing it. I don't know. It just didn't bring back the good ole feeling of almost failing first year and gaming SC.

I havent bought it.

yeah, built my desktop when I was in HS (late 90's) suffice it to say it to say the video card barely lets me play HD videos on youtube. Even non HD videos are starting to get choppy. I really should get a new board, processor, and video card.

Bryce 08-02-2010 12:42 PM

I played the beta and preordered it. IMO the single player campaign by itself makes it worth the money. Every mission is unique and interesting.

I haven't even touched the multiplayer yet. I'm not thinking I will be impressed due to the 10MB map size limit for custom maps. The server browser is made of fail, showing only the most popular games. I feel that I'll probably enjoy the matchmaking more than custom maps.

Post your Battle.net accounts. Mine is kloopofadown@yahoo.com.

ThatGuy85 08-02-2010 01:25 PM

I bought it and it's pretty awesome. Played two beginner multiplayer maps and so far, undefeated ;)

The map editor is highly capable. From Pong, to first person shooters, it's all possible now. There are plenty of Dota's and Tower Defence maps.

Fireindc 08-02-2010 08:12 PM

Looks tits, ill have to get it for the nostalgia factor at least.

Nagase 08-02-2010 08:41 PM

Beta tested it, picked it up at midnight of release. :)

The story is... oh my god. Love it. The "talk to your team" bits were a bit too bioware-ish for me. Still good though! Love it. Definitely going to be playing online and more single player... brutal is pretty tough!

jeff_man 08-02-2010 09:36 PM

i have to finish dawn of war 2 before i can buy star craft 2

How do you finish DoW2? i kept trying to keep all the zerg infestations down but between them and the protoss missions, i had no time to move on with the story.

That and the battles were just the same things on the same spots over and over...

chance91 08-02-2010 10:10 PM

Its great. Beta'd that shit up. Built a desktop for about 600 bucks and rockin it hard.

Seriously, just like car parts, check out tigerdirect/newegg for the open box or super cheap specials. I've got an AMD am2+ chipset, 8gigs memory, (16 capable) 500gb hd, 2 nvidia cards in SLI mode, with a 9600 amd black edition processor. Rocks faces off.

The monitor is my tv, the case I paid 25$ for on craigslist, just needed an old one that holds Full ATX boards, and it came with 2 cd drives. I had to buy a Power supply though.

just reported blizzard to the BBB, they charged my ccard 3 times, didn't give me a digital copy and charged sales tax when my check out total was 59.99 with screen shots... what a load of crap.

Cool, how long till you have the 6 gigs downloaded?

My SN is Bryce, character code 869.

Nagase 08-05-2010 12:12 AM

Where do you get the character code at?

Bryce 08-05-2010 12:13 AM

Hover your mouse over your portrait in the top right on the multiplayer screen. Or you can use email address too, I think.

Nagase 08-05-2010 12:15 AM

Ah, cool! If anyone wants to play with me, my SN is Haraise and my code is 707. :D

jeff_man 08-05-2010 12:33 AM

2 of us just picked it up today. I am installing. I didnt care so much for the beta but i figure it will be fun if some of us can game

FRT_Fun 08-07-2010 05:29 PM

I'm downloading it right now.

flier129 08-07-2010 06:24 PM

Im addicted to the league games.

Played some 4v4 with bryce and some of he's friends. They were obviously a lot better than me so I didnt mind tagging along for some wins, hehe.

FRT_Fun 08-07-2010 06:44 PM

3hours left on the download. Damn slow servers.

Fireindc 08-07-2010 10:28 PM

I will get this next paycheck.

I will also get pwnt on it.

jeff_man 08-07-2010 11:15 PM

Wasnt bad, been enjoying it this evening. Few people on vent chatting it up as we got destroyed by the pc. lol

Bryce 08-08-2010 01:54 AM

My brother and my friend down the street will own anyone. It's nice to see more people getting this game.

FRT_Fun 08-08-2010 02:59 AM

Just played my first game vs the computer on easy... I won, but I can tell I'm pretty terrible at this point lol.

battlenet = MXRoadster97@gmail.com I added a bunch of you.

Pen2_the_penguin 08-08-2010 03:06 AM

apparently, to my fellow, japanese airman here at Travis... says I suck at this game and should find a shrink wrapper so I can return it and never play it again.


I rocked at warcraft III, and AOE series... but I suck at this. :'(

Bryce 08-09-2010 12:07 AM

I'm teaching my GF to play this. She's never played an RTS before, and after an hour I have her stomping medium-difficulty computers on her own. :)

FRT_Fun 08-09-2010 12:09 AM

I just learned a badass build cycle for the protoss from playing with a buddy and can pwn n00bs all day long now.

What build is that? Fourgate?

FRT_Fun 08-09-2010 12:17 AM

Uh.. idk, he was just like memorize this... and then told me what to build.

Bryce 08-09-2010 12:32 AM

Get on, and let me toss your salad.

flier129 08-09-2010 09:03 AM

I bet its DT rush, Ive been ownin nubs with it lately :giggle:

RavynX 08-09-2010 10:57 AM

I picked it up on launch day. Have been busy but I'm almost through the campaign now. 2 of my co-workers and I played after work last Friday. I think we'll be having a bit more of those. Fun game and definitely brings back good memories of the original.

One_Theory 08-11-2010 11:37 AM

I bought it 2 days ago and am addicted to it much like the original when it came out. I am still playing the practice games in multi player and am getting better but I never was great even after playing sc1.

Screen name is: NERO

Bryce 08-11-2010 03:11 PM

I made gold in 3v3 last night. Now I only need gold in 4v4 to be all gold league.

FRT_Fun 08-11-2010 05:49 PM

Bronze league ftw, I keep getting stuck with fags that lag out or suck terribly.

I played 1 game last night, was fun. Myself and Andy from vent went against 2 AI on medium. Naturally, I was the lucky guy that kept getting attacked, lol. It was fun.

It was the first gaming experience since installing win7.

Only issue is my win 7 keeps letting me know that my c:/ is about to meet death. lol

Bryce 08-12-2010 10:14 AM

Just wait till you start playing 3v3 very hard ai. It gets VERY interesting.

Sounds like Win 7 is listening to your HDD's self diagnostic SMART details. You may want to heed its warning, or just live life on the edge.

Quality Control Bot 08-12-2010 10:16 AM

I walk the line......

Eastern timezone here, you up for a game maybe tonight or you going to be the later comer who has no one to game with cause its like 1am. LOL

Bryce 08-12-2010 10:23 AM

I'm down. I usually play from 1030 to 2am CST. I just forget to log onto vent.

FRT_Fun 08-12-2010 06:01 PM

I will be on toniiiiiight... maybe.

Braineack 08-12-2010 06:03 PM

should i buy this shiot?

FRT_Fun 08-12-2010 06:09 PM

I will be playing this game for a long, long, time.

Braineack 08-12-2010 06:14 PM

One_Theory 08-12-2010 06:16 PM
