Starcraft 2

yup its only for terrans! the two expansion packs for the game will contain the storylines for the other two races

There are also like 5 protoss missions.

For some reason, absolutely no RTS since Red alert 2 has managed to keep my attention long enough for me to complete the whole game, and the last few years I've felt that every RTS look and play the same. Would anyone say that SC II somehow feels fresh and varied enough to keep a person like me entertained throughout it?

Also, is there a demo somewhere?

I heavily dislike the storyline in this one compared to the original. So I don't know. The gameplay is pretty good, though.

As far as RTS goes SC2 tells a good story. It's not as good as WC3 or the original SC, but it's solid, just takes a while to get going, and Kerrigan didn't have a large enough presence throughout the game.

It's a lot of fun though, for other reasons.

Someone needs to use that oh-so-badass Campaign Editor included in the game and build co-op enabled replicas of all the campaign levels.

I'm hovering around 20-ish in the bronze league. Trying to fight my way into silver, but having a hell of a time against any Terran player.

What race do you play Scream?

Anyone beaten the last campaign mission on Brutal difficulty yet? I mean jeez...I think I have the right idea but still.....

Another note, I dont want to join a league yet, I have played co-operative but I am not sure If I will have a chance in a player vs player. How do the 5 games you play rate you? is it based on wins, Actions per second/min or a number of factors?

Also, I play Zerg, and I HAAAAATE Terran right now. I just can't seem to figure out a strategy that will beat a good Terran.

Placement matches rate you from your wins, and other attributes that Blizzard hasn't made public. It works pretty well, I've never found myself in a league that I felt I shouldn't be in.

Also, for Zerg against Terran, try a fast expand build. Get your second hatchery up at your natural expansion at 14-15 supply, right after your spawning pool, and you should simply be able to out macro your opponent from there. Throw down some spine crawler to defend against an early rush, and you'll be in good shape.

Also a Baneling and speedling combo can rip through terran defenses if you move in early enough, before they have Siege tanks. A few banelings will destroy a supply depot, and once that's down flood in with your zerglings. This strategy won't work if they're blocking their ramps with a barracks and factor/starport. Only if they are using Supply Debots to wall off.

I usually do something similiar, I usually just spam a ton of Zerglings, if you can get them early enough they can get through based solely on numbers, a hatchery or two with Queens attached allow you to just keep them coming. Better yet, tech to Nydas worm, saving your resources (your only using Zerglings) for upgrades to Zerglings and you should be able to get maybe an infestor or two to soften enemy forces with fungal growth. Nydas worm will let you into his base assuming you scout with an Overlord (not too close so marines can hit it).

Once his workers are dead its pretty much gg from the get go.

Hear that? Only way dirty Zerg players can win is by using underhanded and cowardly tactics like rushing to win in the early game. >\

I am annoyed to find that if you use the archives to get the secret mission, it doesn't show.

I've had to go back in my campaign saves and unlock it from there, which now means I have to finish the campaign again. Grrr.

Same 🙁, how do you unlock exactly? I thought you just had to complete Media blitz or w/e its called. Do you have to get the achievement on hard?

Well, that's my afternoon blown re-doing the last third of the game

(BF- last mission is easier with the Nydus in, though if I had been thinking straight I'd have just built fleets of Banshees rather than battleships, as there is no air opposition at all. It still took me ages to do, though I was much more secure at the end, First time I did it it was about two seconds before Kerrigan blew the thing).

Secret Mission-

Spoiler:
Destroy the civilian science centre in the bottom right of Media Blitz. I saw it the first time but it doesn't get auto-attacked so I ignored it as irrelevant. Doh!).
