arent cracklings a T3 unit/version of the ling? with speed and attack grades
surely by that time there should be more than enough units to counter it.

Don't really know whats available to Terran as ive not played as them (yet) however MMM just tends to rape anything that zerg has to offer. especially with the odd thor in the mix...
unless Zerg can manage to flank effectvly

Yeah, think you are right there. By that time Terran have plenty of units to counter. But I think Kreeeee wanted something that was very effective against Cracklings.

Why is that lol. Is that not the case?

What the hell are cracklings?

As far as I'm aware a crackling is a Zerg Zergling with all the upgrades. They are cheap and very hard to stop in large numbers.

As for the lol, after your rather bad comment on me being out of work, I just found it rather funny that you don't have a beta key.

At least you have time to play it! Come on, it was only a bit of banter. I managed to complete MOHAA again when i was out of work for 2 months. Had to do something I suppose!
 
theres nothing to really hard counter them, because by that terran should have the ability to change strat just as easy as zerg....

the great thing about Cracklings is that you can mass them extreamly quickly and it cannot be ''scouted'' considering a spawning pool is the first building Zerg builds. unless you get a lucky scan of Zerg massing them up or something? *shrug*
 
I have a spare unused APB beta account if anyone wants to trade :)

It's linked to one of my email addresses (can't change email but can change password) but I'll forward any APB related mail.

I don't struggle with them, and there are many soft counters (builds that can deal with them but aren't targeted at preventing them).

As I said, I'm only really trying to find out if there is a hard counter to the crackling build/tech tree.

Again, counters are build orders designed to counter another strategy/build, not a particular unit.

Perhaps this kind of question is better suited to TL.net.

I know, I know. Just irritated as I got a key pretty quickly for C&C4 and it well... SUCKED.

Yet i've been opted in from the start for this and still nothing. Sod's law eh?

Is the max supply limit set at 200? seems a bit small

If I recall correctly, which I often don't lol, that was the same in SC1. My guess is they kept it like that to please the purists.

Maybe there will be an option to increase it in certain MP matches.
