[Greegon]

been employed for a good while tubby, thanks for caring.

good to see you're still one of the oldest people on these boards lashing out at people like a 13 year old

[Greegon]

hit me up with battlenet tag samwise!

[SamwiseRed]

Traak 122 or Traak 112

i think the first one

[goalie]

looking forward to this. SC2 ftw

[Dacuk]

I havent played since wol came out, but will probably check out hots. I'm Dacuk on bnet. its definitely fun to be able to accomplish something with only an hour a night free time.

[Rettii]

zTz 1250 if im looking at the right number (top right corner when viewing profile?), cant remember how to check.

[Elderan]

If you are into massively spam clicking then this is the game for you!

[SamwiseRed]

nah but you do need to know more than 6 hotkeys

[Nirgon]

If you are into massively spam clicking then this is the game for you!

Or you can also play like a normal human being and not a methed out try hard. Go 50-50 in bronze or 50-50 in grand master try hard.

Dat pride tho.

Won't be getting this. I was very let down by WoL multiplayer and I can't say any of the new units interest me nor do I see any changes I like to it. Full price game for some single player campaign in a multi player (imo) game. No thanks.

[Nirgon]

Been thinking about firing up dat WC3 Frozen Throne.. but the skill curve to hang with the guys still playing is impossible I'm sure. Probably would go just about as well as my return to Street Fighter 4 when I picked up the 2012 arcade edition.

Played SF4 at launch, 60 maybe even 70% win rate all the way up till I got bored of it. Came back for AE 2012... 0% win rate for hours. Every single person was some fucking god-status Gen, Fei Long or Balrog player.

[Rettii]

I enjoy the team games more than 1v1 ladder where your punished for not watching all tournaments to know build orders and meta or play 15 hours a day to be super refined like a Korean robot.

2's 3's 4's so fun tho.

Expansion 40$ I was happy to see that instead of 60$. I'm gonna get it.

[Kraftwerk]

Use map settings. I live for Nexus Wars or Desert Strike.

[Rettii]

UMS were more fun in BroodWar I think. I miss the navy seal ones and if you remember the VTEC Paintball, that was the best for sure. I was in a VTEC paintball clan when I was like 13/14 lol

There is this one spaceship one in sc2 that I had fun on tho, can't think of name. Kind of like a space single unit micro team fighting game. Think League of legends in space with no lanes.

[Greegon]

WOL was definitely messed up at launch, the custom games were set up really horribly but they've since then patched it and it's a little more appealing. I agree that classic was a lil bit better, but even single player alone is enough for me, I love the storyline even if they changed jim raynor 100% can't wait to see what happens with them hybrids or to see when samir duran pops up again

[Greegon]

Funny how now in the score screen it shows how many actions per minute you have. I'm definitely not as hyper or skilled as dem koreans !

[Kraftwerk]

Yea back in the day I loved Zerg blood, I loved the mass spawn stuff. I played 2v2s in WoL when it first came out, I got into Diamond or Platinum I think just doing zealot rush or prox cannon and other cheese strats. Then I got bored and wanted to see tons of units rush each other.

Desert Strike is fun, probably my favorite in current SC. I have $100 on my bnet acct from RMT in D3, I'll buy HoS I guess.

[Nirgon]

Not sure 2 mostly gimmick units I could care less about for each side and a single campaign is worth giving them 40$ more. It's becoming a matter of not supporting companies that are fat and lazy, or owned by scumbags now.

Brood War introduced new units and upgrades for all teams that were bad ass and in most cases core new units. It also introduced 3 entire campaigns.

The difference being some unit customization shit in the campaign, and some cut scenes that are "Hollywood quality". No thxu.

What should they have added? Infested command centers / maybe even Nexus for zerg and bad ass units like Defilers and Corsairs or put in upgrades for units that don't see a lot of love. I heard they pulled burrow charge for the ultra... but what replaced it?

I really don't care for the treatment of the capital ships or "Hive" level tech in this game, except for zerg. Carriers and battlecruisers are garbage, the only team with a "game changing" late game tech is zerg in my opinion. A full supply of marines/medivacs shouldn't laugh its ass off as it plows through a force of carriers. I mean.. wtf. Yes, I tried using terrain or the "space" outside the map but all the interceptors just instantly exploded. 90% of games I played were a decided by massing the marine/medivac/marauder ball vs similar units, few others saw the light of day. Base defenses in SC2 were pretty comical as well. Take the siege tank for instance... what a joke compared to the old one.


It's just not an RTS that sucks me in and makes me want to get any better or invest time in it. I'll just wait and see what word of mouth says before any time is invested.

[Nirgon]

samir duran pops up again

He'd be a deciding factor.. I did enjoy the WoL campaign for the most part but I don't see why after they had the template/system developed that we couldn't get at least 2 campaigns out of this one and then a full 3 campaigns out of the coming toss xpac.

[Loli Pops]

I waited 10 years to be underwhelmed. Feels bad.

[Nirgon]

Yeah well, they're releasing Diablo 3 on PS4! With 4 player OFFLINE mode.

Fucking hypocritical... *mumble*

lol, even jay wilson abandoned D3, last time i logged in nearly puked in my mouth.

I'll agree that sc2 campaign should be wayyy longer but I still gotta play lol. I did enjoy marine arena 2 for a while till they changed the map. And the risk games are always fun. but nothing beat turning on your teammate at the very end of a game in classic SC and getting that solo win :rolleyes:

[Nirgon]

Or playing terran, allying someone when they came near your vulture mine field and then unallying them when they were perfectly over top of the mine field.

(KABOOM)

Player leaves.

[Rettii]

Wtb vultures

[Avon Barksdale]

That's why I rush every single game, without fail. If my team doesn't want to attack with me by 6 minutes, I just leave, and start a new game with people who will.

I have to admit, with AoE2 being the last RTS I played before SC2, that I was amazed I could rush at 3.5 minutes instead of 11.

[Avon Barksdale]

jrwh#1678, I'll play sc2 team games or click around with people on d3 whenever. Sold all my Archon Wiz gear for $480, and left 200m gold on account to bargain gear each of the 5 classes. Still have ~170m, and they all do fine (especially given the infrequency with which I'd play). All classes between Paragon 5 and 80.

[Rettii]

jrwh#1678

doesnt find u

[Nirgon]

30 beta patches later and I'm very impressed with how far HotS came. Sucks they couldn't make the war hound viable but terran mech's roles were already kinda filled. Toss definitely got its real teeth back. After burner on medivac probs gonna get nerfed.

[Greegon]

woot fell asleep 6 hours early and took off work today to play this :D

[Rust1d?]

How is it guys? Thinking of picking it up but waiting for the weekend so I can marathon it.

[goalie]

its new and not a game from 15 years ago, isn't that enough?

[BigSlip]

picked up sc2 a few weeks ago. loving it. not sure about the expansion. campains are gay anyway.

[Nirgon]

Word on the street, unless you have the clicking disease and are slaying your own guildies in pvp, put the campaign on brutal

[Rettii]

Haven't bought it yet all the monies went to bills

[Nirgon]

I almost got 30k saved up.

I still need to buy IGS and a tcrown for Bundy. See if Rally can give you some tips on setting up a guildie, then hock dem platz.

[BigSlip]

multiplayer > campaign

[Rekrul]

SC2 is so boring to me, even watching the highest level Koreans I still find it boring compared to BW. sad at the dumbing down of macro in that game. Maybe it's just because BW is so perfect and I've played it for so many years, I still grind iccup, but don't play that much anymore.

Anyway, real men play BW.

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

aren't you that team liquid forum fag? the one who wrote that funny blog about south korean night life?

but yeah i agree, broodwar infinitely better but boring as fuck if i don't have friends to play with

same reason i don't play quake

[Rettii]

definately not that rekrul

[Nirgon]

Hierarchy of Quake greatness.

1. Quake 2 rail guns only with grappling hook modz.
2. Vanilla Quake
3. Quake 2

everything else
