So..how many hours would an average-to-decent RTS player get out of the single player if they jumped straight in at hard mode (haven't played SC2 at all really, though I played SC1 fudge loads in multiplayer).
£35 is a bit over the amount I'd want to pay but possibly something I'd stretch to, given how great the first game was for multiplayer...but £45 is a joke, and makes me just want to pirate it to prove a point (especially as you *know* it was the Activision influence that lead to that).

Just get it from tesco for just under £30 with the discount code. Pirating only proves one point - developers shouldn't bother with the PC as a platform.

Maybe an easy question -- is there any way for Zerg for queue up 'maggots' to turn into some zerg unit? Or do you have to painfully keep doing just 3 at a time?

Very true...
Just under £30 is much easier to swallow. In fact, my first thought was "what a bargain". Amazing the difference £5 can make, lol.
I'll look for the discount code now.

LMFAO. What an epic fail. Although I can't talk, my gf is *not* happy about the LAN party I now seem to be hosting this weekend. :S

Ah..good idea. Is that a game/blockbuster? Maybe I'll do that - have some random plebby 360 games sitting around the house.

I originally was having one this weekend (when GF is away) but had to move it to just after she gets back... she's also not too happy
Hi mate it was Gamestation (ours is within blockbuster) they had it £34.99 brand new and I traded in Red Dead Redemption for £20 - not bad seeing how it's £29.99 brand new from GS.

Rocking. I'll try popping down there tomorrow. Perhaps I can trade in all the rubbish games I have
what do mean theres no lan? you mean if i had two computers in the same room connected together, they wont be able to play eachother?
if this is the case that just sucks... why would they do that??
What he means is that to play requires an internet connection and a Battle.Net login. That means to play with two people in the same room they each need an internet connection, a copy of the game and a Battle.Net account. So you can play each other, just not over LAN.
Why? P-p-p-p-p-piracy (the Battle.Net part) and to sell more games (I think with SC you could play LAN games with one copy).

Played my first ever starcraft game online just now.

My recent problem with RTS games recently has been how slow I have gotten (and my inability to mount a good attack). Starcraft is all about speed and having a build all planned out. Think I will practice with the AI for a bit first.

Do it (but decide quickly)! They are sold out in a lot of places. In the reamining places the price is rising. I waited and missed out on getting it from some of my favourite sites. It is currently on its way from Zavvi. Not that speed matters since I am still in the US and it will arrive before me
Anyone got any links to some good tactics? I.e. which order to build things in with each race?
I'm pretty good at starting mass harvesting, expanding to a natural and getting some basic defense, but after that I just seem to slow down and plod along too much. I need some sort of order to do things in for the middle part of the game.
