I quite like the variety tbh otherwise it would be 29 skirmish missions.

Same

*thinks of DoW: Dark Crusade*

sorry all not been online much to game as i am having monitor problems , thing is it is only around 3 months old

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I get to play tomorrow

 

[Anksy]

is there any decent guides out there ?, anything i can learn from apart from watching replays, gettin spanked online, literally, in a couple of minutes probably because im not building things in a specific order, wasting time, but i nai know what a good order is

mmmm I love the M3 Terran strategy.

Marauders, Medivacs & Marines

UNSTOPPABLE! ... unless they have a lot of air defence.

Nothing is unstoppable. MMM is easily wasted by PSI storm and a few DTs.

Its great fun slicing down thors with DT. By the time (rubbish) players realise and scan, half their army has been chopped to bits.

[Dominor]

Playing through the campaign at the moment, I am not very good at RTS multiplayer but I after the campaign I am going to try a few games.

This game's so addictive and fast-paced that no-one's bothered to post any screenshots!

Not sure what is up with my SC2 recently, it was fine but today and yesterday I have had it freeze several times (and it only seems to be during loading, transitioning to a different menu or at the end of mission score screen, never during game), forcing a ctrl alt del to close the program.

There's a bug when you're not ingame but during menus and stuff, some gfx cards are overheating and crashing the game.

Check and see if it helps.

 

[gronf]

Yeah, for some reason there's no frame-limiter on the menus, so the GPU is working like crazy doing several 100s of FPS, thus overheating it.

 

[HummuH1]

Picked this up over the weekend and had my first few matches in the "practice" league.

Very addictive game, can see this lasting for a while!

In game name is HummuH, if anyone fancies some practice matches I'd be up for it. Is there an OCUK league or anything like that?

 

[I_M_Weasel]

Tempted to get this, anywhere got a decent price?

 

[ssharp59]

just go out and buy this . £35 is a steal for a great game.

me and my friend are playing through a 2v2 ladder. Stealth and Deej if you want to add us.

 

[chokedoke]

Yup ive got to say i paid for the full collectors edition and i dont begrudge it at all, a lot better than say the dragons age collectors edition which was rubbish here in the uk

 

[chrisxuk]

I got mine from GameGears, £32.99 with free next day delivery


I hope these aren't a competitor!

Competitor link removed, we sell Starcraft 2

My apologies.

 

[I_M_Weasel]

I'm a bit wary of RTS's after woeful games like red alert 3, don't want to sit another £35 on a shelf.

 

[Hooa]

Just purchased the game via battle.net... quick question

Do I get given friend invites?

If so where do i find them?

Thanks!

Same question really. I have bought the game and friends want to trial it first.
