Yeah, just before my computer crashed I started going through the original game paying mroe attention to the storyline. I got through one chapter before having to reformat.

Just finished, and won, my first game. Very cool game so far, and not just the actual playing of it, but the layout and detail of the UI, the waiting room, the replays, achievements, and end game details are amazing.
Title: Re: Starcraft 2
Post by: Fuse on May 04, 2010, 10:28:29 pm
holy crap... I just won a game I had absolutely no business winning. I'm about to load the replay up and Fraps it.

It was a 2v2. My partner got attacked at the start of the game, but instead of sticking it out, he disconnected. So now it's 1v2, toss vs z&p, I was focusing on my base, so have a very small army. Thanks to them not taking me out right away, amazing macro by myself (about 53 average APM), and one of the guys completely fucking up and saying "ready to attack?" in all channel - I was able to kill them both. Also a huge help was having observers everywhere. On the second to final push at the bottom after the zerg said "ready to go?" I waited until I saw that all the air was about mid-map. This allowed me a bit of time to attack what I could, because I could not have taken on both their forces at the time. Then instead of pushing in when I saw them coming back I pulled out and went around where I knew they couldn't see me (thanks again observers!) and also thanks to placement of some stargates to keep them busy I was able to take them down.


That will make more sense when I get the video up later this week. =)

If this were a movie I'd be excited too.  But these teaser trailers are the only time we'll see anything that good looking.  The actual game will boil down to who can launch a "zerg" rush the fastest.  Lol. I hope there's at least some good cut scenes.

"13 minutes of pre-rendered cinematics and 32 minutes of in-engine on-the-fly cinematics."

THat sure seems like a lot to me.

Did you get a chance to play the beta? I found it easier to defend against a zerg rush. Plus, with the matchmaking/scoring machanic of the new BN, I expect to lvl out of the asshats that do that anyways. The higher skilled players rarely will ling rush because of fear the other knows how to defend it.

Terran for sure has an advantage when it comes to defense early in the game. Toss still needs some tweaking, but with a block point, it's also more than manageble.
Title: Re: Starcraft 2
Post by: Phienyx on July 22, 2010, 08:27:55 am
Yeah I played the beta, mostly as Terran. I am a bit rusty at StarCraft but damn! I don't think I played more than 10 minutes per match.
Title: Re: Starcraft 2
Post by: Fuse on July 22, 2010, 09:47:27 am
It depends on your play style... most serious players will only have about 10 minute games. Usualy the ones that are all macro will last forever and then only have one or two large battles.

Serious players, huh?  I don't sit down to a gormet meal just to scarf it all down in 2 minutes.  You cannot fully enjoy well prepared cuisine that way, I don't care who you are.
Title: Re: Starcraft 2
Post by: Fuse on July 23, 2010, 09:01:15 am
I agree - as I like macro. But competitive players, which the beta was filled with, look at it as a competition.

I'll be sure to list my name when I get on tuesday...

Me and Heiro have been messing around with a new technique utilizing the ability to feed resources to eachother. The basic premise is each person plays their normal game until the trade "embargo" (My word) is lifted. At that point, the faster/better player builds unit making structures and the feeder solely focuses on mass mining operations and feeds min/gas to the builder.

We have a lot of testing to still do, but the first couple of tries have been somewhat successful so long that you are not rushed to begin with. This tactic is great against toss/terran. I don't feel comfortable yet playing this against zerg due to their massive armies. Mass hydra kills mass VR/Stalkers - and using this build and the way I block off Immortals can be a pain to get into play.

Attached is a .rar of two of our replays. ResourceFeed1 is the first attempt at this. Feed2v2 was just played and it worked fairly well with a rush of our own-mainly my call due to the zerg.

Also, please do not share this with outside FA. I'd like to see it last as long as we can make it work.

You either need to add through the facebook option, use their battle.net email, or their name and char code.

Played some 2v2s with Phienyx tonight. Despite him dropping, I still won both.

One with a Mothership rush. The other with a DT/Prism push.
