I linked mine to battlenet, if I download the sc1 client will it work ok on win 7 64?

As others said, yes it does. I've mine linked to bnet as well, have it on 7 x64 too, and it works great.

One of the reasons I like Blizzard (and Valve), is their dedication to thorough optimisation and support, in my experience anyway.

Dont know why everyone is moaning so much, if you want it then you can buy a beta key/account

Because I don't want to pay for something which is given out free?

Its not given out free to everyone though. If anyone is getting that upset about not getting one then pay someone £20, im sure they will sort you out and its the cost of 4 drinks at the end of the day

 

[Kreeeee]

Everyone who is in the beta should have had a second key, so there should be a snowball effect and everyone in here should have a key really.

 

[4p]

Might be an annoying question but can someone point me to a BETA key? Probs been asked 100 times before but

Please

 

[Strife212]

Speaking of keys, anyone got one they don't need?

anyone wanna 1v1 or 2v2+ later?

 

[Kreeeee]

Was at the top of the main home screen.

 

[Windle]

GIVE ME KEEEEEEEEEEEEEY

 

[colinuk]

Some people should as others have pointed out had a free key sent to them, I hope they pass the good will along to other OcUK people.

If I get any more, not sure I will now, I will of course hand them out again.

ColiNfr.

 

[VeNT]

can't see it on mine?

 

[Baxtor]

Would really appreciate a key if anyone has a spare one going

 

[mart981]

When did they send out the friend invites? From the forums looks like it was back in early March?

I haven't had one anyway. Joined the beta on 21st March.

I gave mine to Alrik and got Manlove is my forte to give his to Margaret.

 

[VeNT]

anyone got a good guide to zerg/protos~?
I've pretty much figured out terran now (or atleast what to build and how) but the others I'm never so sure on!

 

[Kreeeee]

The strategies change daily so there are no decent guides.

 

[Manlove is my forte]

I'll play in an OcUK 2v2, teamed up with krono.

Your brave

It was only 4 reapers on a very large map.

It was meant for light harassment and scouting but it beat his zealots and stalkers.

Scouting? Those guys are the SAS ffs. They do a little reckon and then nuke the place. If your Toss and see those badboys coming before you have a number of stalkers and sentries its GG. Still haven't figured out a Toss counter to them.

Its the speed and maneuverability of them that causes the issue rather than the toughness.
A Stalker can kill them in like 2 shots or something. But, If the reapers attack the mineral line, and you move in to engage, they leg it, hop over an edge, run round your base pop in on another side, blow up a pylon, wait for your stalkers to give chase, hop over an edge, run around, back into the base, hit the mineral line again... Rinse repeat until GG. Hateful sons of *******

My only counter to them was to switch from Toss to Zerg.

Do ion cannons reach the little turds?

Do ion cannons reach the little turds?

Cannons do sweet FA. They are static Defenses for starters, and the reapers greatest asset is its maneuverability, so the Reapers will just move out of range.
Reaper's second greatest strength is they're an anti building unit (don't let them stand near your nexus for any length of time)

Anti-building unit? So would the nexus drop in health even when they are not attacking it or do you mean you cant build probes when they are nearby
