**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

Campaign completed. Interesting ending, lots of questions left unanswered.

Gonna get on with the challenges now I think.

thinking about starting to play a bit more Terran again. I hope platinum is prepared for me to be crashing back down on them :p

I was thinking about switching, at the ~450-500 diamond level, I can go 50/50 with the Terrans. Maybe a little bit better than that, depending on by how much I repulse their first push.

Higher ranked though and I'm just hitting a skill/balance wall where there's nothing I can do. Vs up to 550-600 zerg/toss I can handle it fine. But my god Terran.

I was starting to think I'd cracked it, and I certainly can now force a Terran to go to a macro game (i.e. one base 3 rax I can stop reliably now everytime) but once they transition to tank, viking, maurauder, ghost and drop ships they just slowly take the map and I just can't keep up economically.

It's like the starship trooper maps, only against a swarm of angry terrans :(

Hit 100+ wins today :D

There are 2 sequels planned :)

There are but talk about leaving it so delicately poised. I'm also unsure how they're going to work the Heart of the Swarm campaign in chronologically, with the events in the final sequence.

Is there any idea of when to expect the new campaign(s)? Any chance of seeing the Zerg one this year?
 
Starting from bronze and getting into platinum I found out the the higher I go the more lame/dirty the tactics get.

One guy terran went for reapers lamo and I went for banshee lamo, my lamo beat his lame tactic.

His last words : Well, Lame tactic vs Lame tactic, gg

So mush lameness xD
 
Me and a few friends just did our 4v4 placement and won all 5 games, we are now platinum 4v4 league :)

btw 4v4 is mad.
 
Gold is much, much lamer than Silver was. Loads of rushes and unit spamming going on.

Beginning to feel disheartened already, the fun is being lost in the blind urge to win.

[EDIT] Oh and, for those that make the logical assumption that i'm only saying this because i'm losing in Gold tier, that isn't the case. My win to lose ratio is identical to what it was when i was playing in the silver league.

Agreed. Everytime I win a match I obviously get put with a higher ranked player - and boom, lame rushes, tactics etc. I am finshed with MP. Boring and repetitive. Still enjoying SP though.
 
learn to beat a rush and gain the advantage if its happening that often. stopping rushes is much much easier than doing the rushing
 
Where does this game "Fit in" in the RTS genre?

C&C, Total Anihilation, Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander 2.

Or, is all it all alone?
 
similar to C&C in the way you build units, but most like TA.

best RTS out there in my opinion.
its nothing like DoW or CoH in terms of complexity, cover etc. however its very well balanced, and a very deep game!

Rushing is a legitimate tactic. All rushes can be cancelled and once you've beaten the main wave the match is yours.. I don't see the problem. What's the point in letting a turtle opponent tech!

I admit though things like photon cannon rushes etc are extremely gay.

Proton cannon rushes are THE gayest thing ever. Is there even a counter?

Also any ideas how you beat a 5 Zealot rush within the first 2-3mins while playing as terran (warping right by your probes)? Do I literally need to babysit my probes?


Playing against zerg or other terran players always seems fair though.

Great game:)

Run your rines into your mineral line to disrupt them. You should have 2-3 by the time zeals arrive.

You can also dance your rines around to avoid getting hit at all.

Terran early expansion then going for MMM seems really overpowered. At least in the silver league anyway (although I have beaten a lot of gold players with it).

Even if they build a load of colussus/storm thingys I can nearly always just mow it down with a stimpack/EMP.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get promoted into a new league? I'm second in my silver league atm.

scout to see if there are 2 gates and build a couple of reapers. reapers can kill an infinite amount of zealots due to their speed. cannon rush is the easiest one to counter you just need to kill the probe with a couple of scvs. at worst case lift off your command centre and land it on your natural expansion.

It seems very random, i got promoted to gold when i was placed 20th in my silver league. I did however win 4/5 matches in a row when it kicked me up to gold.
