I just installed this on my comp. together with Brood War. I've never played it before since I've only been into FPS games on the PC, but do you think I could possibly get better at this game? I know it's a weird question, but I played Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations, Battle Realms, etc. and I just can't get better. Is it possibly due to my strategy-free head?

My suggestion is play online, talk with other people there and see what they do. Observe games. It helps a lot.

Are you having trouble with single player or multiplayer or custom games?

Well just tried it. So far I started the first episode as Terran. I'm doing fair I guess. On level 7. Real fun but it takes me a while. Anyway it's cool. I wonder how long I'll get till I reach Brood War expansion.

Great buy man! this game is awesome--i'm pretty decent at it myself.

as for getting better, you might wanna check out http://www.battle.net/scc for some general information about strategies and such. i just got better by adapting those strategies and developing my own.

Well the single player is hard if you never played Starcraft....the later missions with the other species...remember to save a shitload.

play online its a lot more fun, and your game will improve a lot, although playing vs people and vs comp entails very different strategy

I last played that game a couple of years ago. I didnt evber play it online though

Thanks 4 the link Spear man!

msg me and ill tell you, im pro. (kind of) the name is Achilles

whoah, nelly!

LOL!

Play the entire capaign first.. you have to know exactly how much everything costs, what they do, what they're weak/strong against and also how to bend the rules.. then you can start working on becoming pro

Agreed, trying to be pro at first = disaster.

Its bloody hard to trying to be good. I havnt played this game in awhile. I might actually reinstall it.

I play pretty piss-poor still. But I can probably play good if I was teamed-up with someone.

Play the first 3 missions of each race a few times in a row to help you become familiar.

Does anyone out there enjoy playing regular maps? I do, but sometimes I think I'm the only one as no one on bnet seems to make anything other than FA$$TE$T all the time and they always whine like babies when I host a game thats not FA$$TE$T. crybabies

I am wondering if the Brood War Protoss form a federation of some sort. Because I wrote in a Vs. thread here: Protoss Federation battlegroup (Brood War) vs. Venator-class ship.

lol those fastest maps are the death of Starcraft Pro players.

yea all the super fast money maps or unlimited money maps really had a lot to do with me getting out of the game.

DEATH TO BGH!!!!!! Now that map ruined SC!

Side note:

6 player LT rox

Is it just me or are SC players a bunch of A$$es? I went back on-line recently, inspired by that "what if WWII had was fought on-line" thread and it's still rampant with people who do stuff like type "go" a billion times over and over in the game room, insist on changing game type to 1v1 or 2v2 or whatever when the game name clearly says something else, can't wait more than 1 minute for a game to fill, hack, etc.

It's just you.

Well no, not really. I've just been playing for so long (6 years) that I've kinda tuned it out.

new patch for starcraft came out today

It came out ysterday actually, our names are color coded depending on what color we're playing as in the game.

Bump.

I've returned to Starcraft, it's beauty still shows.
