I'd love to, but can't afford it on release day. Hopefully soon, though!

i was going to get that game but i heard they made protoss mothership really crap and zergs are a bit too good that it's unbalanced
based on sc1 experience, i prefered to play protoss due to their hit and run with air unit tactics, but with so much hype around the m ship which is nothing more than a fat arbitor, i'm kinda disapointed, and probably wont get the game anymore. oh yeah i heard that the w ray is crap too, they nerfed it,.. also the terrain bcruiser dont have choice of upgrade abilities anymore; they've removed the missle barrage upgrade and the defensive matrix option, i think, not sure,..

well mother ship has a few good abilities, like to suck up units in a void for a short time. won't know too much about bcruisers cuz i mostly play toss. if by 'w ray' you refering to void rays, then they haven't nerfed it yet and it is quite powerful if used right.
lastly a lot of people do say zerg are unbalenced (in a bad way) but i haven't seen how yet (through the games i played). p.s. they releasing balance changes soon anyways

it's still a beta game,.. i'll probably wait a bit long to see further developments i played sc2 at a friend's house, it wasn't exactly what i was hoping for,.. but the campaign is good, i think, atleast it seems really indepth :-)

I got SC2 about a week ago, just beat the campaign on normal mode today. I realize: I SUCK at this game, even vs the computer. Zerg like to overrun my terran defenses, and they tend to do it quite easily despite all the bunkers and tanks I love to use.

Zerg like to overrun my terran defenses, and they tend to do it quite easily despite all the bunkers and tanks I love to use. one thing i want to see in starcraft2 is a pause function, where players could pause the game and sed a number of commands then unpause the game. a feature that was present in rise of nations and empire earth 2. the reason being, computers could multi-task; assign command to everything at same time. while human players are only restricted to a small screen; selective of the overall action. the game as it is now is quite difficult for planned coordinated attacks or playing races that require lots of micro-management (such as terrains; repair units, using abilities and stuff) without some planning or pause feature in the game, it's even rather difficult to play as zerg as a human player,.. because instead of doing the zerg rush wisely, u end up dead

Elessar you just need to infuse your DNA with that of some asian! lol The more you play the quicker you can get and the computer is a garbage opponent once you manage simple BOs in time... There is a program that is actually used to grade you APM(actions per minute) and the computer will get like 40-60apm and a poor player will get like 40-80. A skilled player will manage 100-160 and like super pros (such as zerg (the player not race)) can average a game with 400apm and 800peak.

I think that's why I never got into Starcraft. Micro Management Isn't something I'm that into. Just seems more like work to play games the way people play these. Anyways looking back On Elessar's post ages ago, I came across this game on steam the other day, I was thinking about Grabbing it. www.frozensynapse.com/ You set your turn up at the same time as your opponent then both players move at the same time. And you get Email notices when someone has set their turn so you can play when your at work ^^. Check it out, made by a really small Indi team of game makers.
