I noticed no problems with dual 5770s on Ultra, and I can run on High with a single OC'ed GTX 460.

performance drops in some SP levels more than others - doesnt seem related to units on screen, must be environmental effects.

FordGT90Concept · Aug 2, 2010

The only time I noticed a drop was in that Zeratule mission where the Zergs killed all the Protoss. There was a giant blob of Protoss being surrounded by the Zerg. I'd estimate at least 500 units were on screen and attacking. That's the only time I saw a slow down, but this was on medium settings on my HD 5670.

I dunno i wanted at least 150FPS on this. So for a awesome graphics on RTS will wait for SHOGUN 2 OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Aug 2, 2010

Zeratul really looks like Raziel even more in game.

RoutedScripter · Aug 2, 2010

It sold 1.8 million on day one excluding australia and asia i think.

can't wait for full reports and an calculated estimate from korea cafe pcs and active wow subscription sc2 free access

oh now i see it's old news , just came from holidays

a_ump · Aug 2, 2010

yea, game is pretty pimp. All max, 1680x1050 i get round 55fps i believe avg. then with 2xAA in missions i get round 38avg. Haven't tested MP+AA as after i installed 10.7a and ran the test with AA my SC2 install got corrupted, dunno if it was due to the driver tho

douglatins · Aug 2, 2010

Dawgs, anyone have a GTX480? I wanna know how they run before i put mine back

PVTCaboose1337 · Aug 2, 2010

I only noticed a drop in performance when I was doing the "zomg lava is gonna rape ur scv's" mission. There was a bunch of animated fire and stuff off screen that was kinda laggy, but not unmanageable. I have to say, extremely well optimized for older systems.

Pickles24 · Aug 2, 2010

It reminds me of WarCraft 3 in a way. The graphics are fantastic and the story line seems to point to another MMO.

There are two more Starcrafts coming out according to what I was reading on my SCII box, so it is possible, but I don't think people would pay money to play SCII money. Has a video game company ever made you pay for an RTS? No. Unless they are gonna make you take control of 1 marine in first person, which would be extremely dumb, they are not gonna make an MMO of this.

a_ump · Aug 2, 2010

yea, honestly i can't see an mmo of starcraft. just doesn't have the RPG feel or really units for it. I mean...terran maybe because you could get better skills/stats as u level'd to be a marine, medic, drive a tank, thor, etc. But zerg nope, protoss nope.

PVTCaboose1337 · Aug 2, 2010

Well it could be an MMO. For zerg: you select your role in the zerg forces. I would select to play as an "Overlord" cause I love moving around on the map extremely slowly scouting positions. Sure it might be boring for some, but it would be amazing and relaxing. You could gain XP by detecting other units...

Nevermind would not work.

a_ump · Aug 2, 2010

i'd probly be and ultralisk, just cause i'm beastly like that

DanishDevil · Aug 2, 2010

Does anybody else feel a bit like they're playing Mass Effect 2? With the ship and upgrades and different bays and all? It looks like they really tried to put in some RPG elements into here with the rendered dialog scenes. It's starting to grow on me.

Mussels · Aug 2, 2010

i want a starcraft FPS game lol.

MMOFPS might work really well for that kind of game.

DanishDevil · Aug 2, 2010

I wouldn't be surprised to see a World of Starcraft that's an MMOFPSRPG. Jeez, now I'm just making up words :shadedshu

DanishDevil · Aug 2, 2010

Sounds normal to me. Guess that's a bad thing :eek:

Easo · Aug 2, 2010

Game engine definetely could allow some FPS mods.

a_ump · Aug 2, 2010

i couldn't seen necesarily an FPS game, a TF2 type game yea. All races for themselves, pick who u wanna be, limit on thor's, ultra's, etc. Nah still wouldn't really work without a lot of time to re-work it.

DanishDevil · Aug 2, 2010

TF2 Starcraft Mod anyone?

JanJan · Aug 2, 2010

does anyone know if there is a folder that has all the mp3 files of the songs in the game (the oldies in the music box)?

DanishDevil · Aug 2, 2010

I doubt there is. They probably don't want anybody distributing them or listening to them outside the game unless they buy a soundtrack. The game folder is scarce.

a_ump · Aug 3, 2010

must say i'm glad my they included the play as guest part

. that right there is free gaming pretty much. my bro got 2 guest passes(7hrs/14days whichever is first) but with that install you can still play the whole campaign.
