Yeaaa hardest mission in the game imho. Managed it eventually however. Just need persistence, remember where the enemy are coming from and when.

Use your phoenixes wisely, phoenixes + stalkers = very very dead hybrids.

DTs are hugely useful for blocking entrances while they dont have detection, and even when they do have detectors they can still be good attacking units.

Immortals are fantastic at tanking damage and dishing out to armoured units (read: hybrids). Colossi are just good generally.

Otherwise, keep your unit count high, keep producing units, keep upgrading, especially air!!!!!!!! and keep at it until you win :)

Been a while since i did it on brutal so i don't remember much more than that i'm afraid :(
 
did bnet just go down? :/

EDITL guessing it has, will only let me play offline mode :/

Sorry Kar & Houd, was looking forward to some 3's :(

No worries Indie, though I think it was just you, was working fine for us. Kar went to bed early anyway, but Nerusy and I played a few practice games.

yeah was very hard finally did it I used a lot of dark templars at the bottom of each ramp and a lot of void rays to take out observers I also constantly replaced observers that died at each entry point of the map to let me know when observers are coming
 
It's the same for me.

Just read that the patch tomorrow will allow people with a SEA account (i.e. Australia, new zealand, singapore etc) play on the North American servers. Since a lot of the people I grew up playing SC1 with are in Australia + get access to the N/A servers, I think it might be worth picking up a SEA copy of SC2.

ohh thats pretty cool,

I also read that their going to be implementing chat channels etc in future patches, which is good, lets hope clan support is next.

[OcUK] has a nice ring too it ^^
 
One thing thats irritating me is I'm not getting credit for every mission I finish on Brutal. I've completed 3 that I remember on Brutal without getting credit for it (I now have 18 completed in total), am after that achievement.

On All In now, vs the air units. Man its mayhem..

Yea it registered the missions i'd done on brutal in one of the achievements but not the other. When i completed all of the missions however it suddenly jumped and said i'd done it. Nice to have the kerrigan portrait :D

Well done, took me many tries to complete that one ^^
 
Does no one play this game for fun even in ******* bronze league?

Guy tried to build 2 hatcheries in my base which i had like 2 marines to kill but i thought seeing as id scouted and he only had a pool and 2 proxy hatch attempts he wouldnt have many minerals but somehow he managed to send hundreds of lings at me still. Got a reasonably fast hellion out which is what i was going for and microd it pretty well but there was far too many lings to cope with. Doing my head in trying to play this game.
 
Hah, I was really fretting going online on this, Finally did one of the practice league ones the other day and im gobsmacked there was someone worse than me.

I was Protoss, them Terran, Me doing my usual RTS thing of going reallllly slowly, About 7 minutes in I sent 5 zealots through the rock barricades to his base, Start killing his SCVs, then he quits! I was expecting to lose in 1 minute!
 
If you want fun, try the custom maps.

The 'main' game is full of angry serious people being angry and serious.

Try watching some videos of 'top' people and borrow ideas from what they do. When they build their barracks etc.
 
I've got kind of bored of custom maps, keep playing with idiots who quit half way through :(

Swear though if i played this at a high level i would rage even more than Idra, video games arent healthy for me :D
