Because the game is so suck.... I had to buy this instead...

 

[Hybrid_theory]

LOL. I asked if they had any extra when i picked up my standard copy. They didnt. Game is still awesome though, I think im on last campaign mission.

 

[Hybrid_theory]

Well game has been out for a couple of weeks now. Thought id see how peoples online progression is.

1v1: Gold, 13 wins - 22 losses
2v2: 3 - 1
3v3: Silver 4 - 1 (i think)
4v4: Bronze 6 - 5 (around 5 losses)

Im at work, so workin from memory right now

NICE i was hoping there was one. Thanks

 

[Cold Storm]

Feel sorry for the people... but, it's playing great here! Even on my low grade lappy.. Mind you that it has 6gbs of ddr3.. lol

NICE i was hoping there was one. Thanks

NIce rank. I havent skipped the practice league yet lol

 

[Hybrid_theory]

I wish the sig could show all leagues, im silver in 3v3s. we got to 20th in our division last night. Bronze in 4v4. mind u were bronze cause we were all drinking when playing. But we did beat down some teams with platinum players in them.

Do you know? Now we can pre order SteelSeries StarCraft II ZBoard Keyboard Bundle from amazon.
What do you think about it ? is it worth or not ??

 

[Hybrid_theory]

I never saw the point in zboards. You don't get extra buttons or anything. they just get renamed.

SC2, AKA the best RTS storyline ever!

I don't care what anyone says, all the people that say they didn't change starcraft 2 from the first, no improvements or w/e but this game's storyline was imo the greatest i've ever played in an RTS. I've played EE series, Age of empires series, warcraft 3 and expansion, Dawn of war 2 40k, n quite a few others.

So of the people that have beaten the storyline, would you agree or disagree with me?

 

[IINexusII]

so this means i should buy it? but i havent played the first one

 

[a_ump]

well part of what makes me feel the 2nd storyline is so great is bc it flows correctly and well with the first. Unlike alot of games, not just RTS's, where the 2nd one takes place and doesn't really have much to do with prequel. Plus in alot of games you can predict what's going to happen. Just like a movie where its not a question of if but how bc u know what's going to happen. I thought i knew but there quite a few twists in the storyline that i totally didn't expect. Can't wait for the next 2 expansions

I would def recommend maybe reading up on the first one's story just so u can understand some of the story elements during the cinematics.

And if you have any friends that bought it they should have guest passes, which allow 7hrs of online play over 14days, but u can still play the campaign as long as you like, so free campaign

I think Ground Control II: Operation Exodus still wins that title. Earth 2150 is runner up.

 

[a_ump]

haven't played either of those :/. but thanks for input, i'll look into those now.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

They're both older. Earth 2150 spans three, long games (the last is nearly impossible). Unfortunately, it's all text in Earth 2150 (or at least, most of it is).

Haven't beaten, but did play with a buddy key (7 hours). I'll definitely buy it soon to continue the story!

I've just been playing the quick match leagues, I must say they've really evened out the skill levels of players via creating separate divisions!

It really prevents those real "Pro E-sport" players from being put into any of the more casual divisions. So far I'm really happy with the way they've set things, it seems there are 100 players per division and from those 100 players you are ranked, then once you surpass that division you get transferred to a much more challenging one... this system is probably what Blizzard has been balancing out that whole time, I'm 100% enjoying multi-player without the 24/7 hardcore players after work .

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

Im enjoying my place at silver as well.. no plans to go on top hehe. Would just stress me out if I get a foot on them plat or diamod players (that feeling of stress everytime the 'Player found' pops )

adrenaline rush more like it

Can someone please answer my two questions.

A. Do you think i'll like this game? I'm a HUGE fan of C&C Generals/Zero Hour
B. Is it fun? Specially on singleplayer..

Single-player is as good as it'll ever get, tonnes of achievements and challenge modes to do and the story line is as kick ass as what you'd expect from Blizzard. And in regards to the multiplayer its very fast paced most games will only last 10-15 minutes but requires an endless amount of strategy and response.

Like everyone else, if you're not a hater you should either like it alot or love it.

Id say yes, and yes.

Single player is engaging.. and mind you its not like any other rts game where the game intros you with some cutscenes and story and drops you off to a map that is just a skirmish with an AI, only with a different map tileset rinse and repeat.. SC2 sp is very different, and there is some added flavors to it as well..

the standard multiplayer matches is very fun.. While there is no air tight strategy or a build that rules all, it all very much narrows down on how fast you can build and exact timing you put on it as well as knowing what units your oponent is massing up. You can also have a break from skirmishes and play custom maps like tower defense maps, and dota-like maps.. plenty of new and creative maps out now.. theres this one that is like golden axe.. using arrow keys and all..

adrenaline rush more like it

Might be .. I sometimes feel cold (literally) whenever a match start.. not sure if its an effect

Thanks for answering my Qs. I think i'll give the game a try Never played any of the SC games though. Can never say, i might end up being one huge fan of SC2.
