Fureox Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is anyone else excited for the new Starcraft? Has anyone played the beta for it?I've signed up for it and pre-ordered it but still haven't gotten a beta key, Lol. The game does look pretty crazy though, don't you think?

evilwaffles Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I have been playing the Beta for months. It is great fun. Protoss are over powered at the moment, but that is changing in the retail version. Yeah I pre-ordered the collectors edition of it, i want those dog tags!

Fureox Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Lucky dog I've been waiting for the beta for ever! LolI heard that the dog tag is the flash drive that has the first Starcraft and the expansion on it. Am i wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaffles Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I pre-ordered the game at GameStop/EB Games and got the Beta Code e-mailed to me I heard that the dog tag is the flash drive that has the first Starcraft and the expansion on it. Am i wrong?Correct, the dog tags are shaped like Jim Raynor's and it contains StarCraft and Brood War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I played the first one after the fact, and didn't think it was anything special. Looks interesting, but there's more interesting stuff coming out.Also I prefer real warhammer 40k, rather then the knockoff. Space Hulk ftw.

evilwaffles Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Glad to see that the races in the retail version of SC2 are even more balanced than the Original (which I thought were well balanced in the first place), I still haven't managed to win a game with the Zerg though on the Beta. Speaking of which, what was your race of choice in the original, Fureox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureox Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 I pre-ordered the game at GameStop/EB Games and got the Beta Code e-mailed to me Hehe... I pre-ordered there too with no luck LolGlad to see that the races in the retail version of SC2 are even more balanced than the Original (which I thought were well balanced in the first place), I still haven't managed to win a game with the Zerg though on the Beta. Speaking of which, what was your race of choice in the original, Fureox?I have strategies for all 3 races. I pick and choose whichever i feel like playing.Protoss: mass zealots in the beginning and if that doesn't work, mass dragoons. Sometimes I cannon rush. Takes a bit of luck thoughTerran: tanks and marines Zerg: mass hatcheries fast then mass hydralisks or mutalisks. Sometimes I zergling rush which can work pretty well.Mostly, I prefer zerg and protoss. i loose the most with terran.The races are even more balanced in sc2? I agree, in the original they were balanced pretty well. Why can you not win with the zerg? Are they underpowered at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they underpowered at the moment?The races are definitely more balanced, Zerg seems to kick ass, no idea how they do though... I have never been able to win with Zerg, I just really suck with them, even in the original. I just play the hell out of Protoss and Terran.Protoss - I spam the hell out of Templars, Dragoons and Zealots. (Templars for their PSI storm, they take out most of the enemy forces )Terran - Spam Tanks in Siege mode and spam Battle Cruisers with some nukes here and there (Science vessels are needed to take out annoying as hell Photon Cannons with the EMP).Zerg - Forget it.

Fureox Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Nice, I'm going to have to try some of those strategies I read that the beta for sc2 is closed right now. Any idea when phase 2hits? I'm hoping I'll get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping I'll get in.I'm not too aware, the game comes out next month so I doubt they will re-open it.One bad thing about the PSI storm tactic is that it deals friendly fire (oh and use it with groups of 12 Templars, most ground Zerg die in less than two seconds and most Terran in 3-4.)

Fureox Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Ah, ok. I read somewhere that they are going to re-open it for a little bit before it releases in stores.Maybe I'm wrong O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaffles Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Not sure, they might re-open it but I don't really see the point as to why they should since we are only weeks away from the release. If they do re-open it... Oh god... So many patches... :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureox Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Blizzard says that they plan on re-opening the beta.http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25170784082&sid=3000&pageNo=1Read the blue posts, which are posts from a blizzard representative.I hope I can get in phase two even if it is only for a couple weeks.July 27th seems a long time away O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I hope i get e-mailed a code if they do re-open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureox Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I hope i get e-mailed a code if they do re-open it.Yeah I feel the same. I pre-ordered mycopy thinking I'd get a key. Then i found that thebeta was closed. Oh well. If I don't get a key at least I'll get the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaffles Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Downloading the Beta now with less than a month to go until its retail release really is not worth the time to download and space it takes up in my opinion. Personally I feel that the Protoss are still the top dogs in the Beta, I can win easily with them, can win games with Terran, but Zerg... I just can't win with them...

Guest DRL Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I liked the original StarCraft, but itit was a little too gory for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 then you defintly will not like sc2 way more gory.but as they say No zerg guts no glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRL Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 then you defintly will not like sc2 way more gory.but as they say No zerg guts no glory.Probably.I mean, the game was cool and all, theraces were pretty much balanced, too, butit was a bit exagerated the corpses blowing up and the blood. On the other hand, the maps were quite good,and the resources simple enought (Just two,no need for complicated economics there),althrough I have to say, the upgrades were a bitslow, and some were not-that great.Good game overall. Just not exactly my cupof tea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaffles Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I liked the original StarCraft, but itit was a little too gory for my taste.Play God of War 3 and you will know gory. i have to ask what replaces the proton charge that lets probes carry more minerals?Not sure at the moment, I'll check when I get home and post it for you.Probably.On the other hand, the maps were quite good,and the resources simple enought (Just two,no need for complicated economics there),althrough I have to say, the upgrades were a bitslow, and some were not-that great.The upgrades are slow, that was purpously put in place to stop players getting too strong too fast, imagine being Zealot rushed with level 3 weapons in the five minutes of the game. That would suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRL Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Play God of War 3 and you will know gory. My brother has GoW 2, yeahthat is UBERLY EXAGERATED gore...The upgrades are slow, that was purpously put in place to stop players getting too strong too fast, imagine being Zealot rushed with level 3 weapons in the five minutes of the game. That would suck!...That is ok. Come to think of it,it is kind on political/military simulatorsin some way, because once you researcha technology it has to be 'fully introduced/applied'before taking full effect. (In this case it wouldbe the time it takes to upgrade, or kind of, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
