In two days I will require assistance not sucking (as much) at SCII

[Karrow]

Played SC, loved it, sucked at it.

I anticipate that even with intensive practice sessions I'll never get beyond pathetic in SCII, but if anyone would be willing to help me out I would appreciate it! And no, I was not cool enough to be in the beta, so I have to wait until Tuesday to even crack open the box and install it.

I hear it's basically SC all over again, which, to quote my source, "I can't really complain about because SC was awesome."

Thoughts?

u can pre DL it and just buy it online and install at 10 am the 27th but i will play with you bear i was ranked 6th in the world at original SC laddar at one point but that was years ago but if not much has changed i assume it will be easy enough =)

edit.... just avoid the zerg rush or learn how to do the zerg rush well im sure not much has changed

A lot has changed in terms of mechanics and such. You will need to relearn the game. I did well as Terran in SC1, SC2 not so much. I'm doing really well with Protoss this time around.

Omni makes reapers, then marauders.  If you see a marauder that means you're doing well.

Ye! sc2 tomorrow

I was partial to Terrans in SCI because I'm a videogame racist (it's a very effective way not to be racist IRL, and only gnomes, protoss, and zerg suffer) but I wasn't good enough to claim any particular affinity for them. I'd certainly be interested in some pointers once I get my sea-legs.

I'm concerned that the emphasis that they seem to be placing on terrain elevations may hit me at my biggest weakness, which is a lack of ability to understand how to use geography (both in games and IRL.)

Of course my other problems were an over-emphasis on defense and a lack of instinct as to when to expand and to where, but those seem more common to people who just generally suck at RTS.

[Cakemaker]

focus on killing them, usually works out.
was doing 2's with nyneave during the beta and just mauled with marines/mauraders/lings etc etc. defences can be broken, yet a severed head doesn't grow back

Add Omni.272 if anyone want to 1v1.

I'm an average player but I love to 1v1 custom to get wrecked and try some strats/learn how to beat people/etc. Sadly, I do not play team games cause I find those boring.

[Azshala]

The real question is... who here plays Terran? Too many people play that race now and it was my fav in SC1.... kind of want to reroll : /

[Icÿ]

many are playing terran due to the fact they are total SC newbs and the SP is from the viewpoint of terran soo its what they know.

This is a trap.  Omni is going to kill you with 200 scvs, at 2:45.

Beat the game, single player is incredibly fun, and suprisingly hard on "hard" mode.  I'm not even sure I want to try the brutal mode ><

[Nyneave]

Soooo is there a threat with everyone's alias somewhere for sc2!? Orrrr can we start that in this one... I wanna play w/ you guys!!

Yah I beat it all in a day. A lot of fun missions, but I did it on normal (thinking it would be like SC1) so I want to go back and beat it on Hard. Looking forward to it, one game I have not regretted to buy in a while.

Btw, if anyone cares my Bnet named is "Byta" or my e-mail is patnidan2004@live.com

[Archy]
