Just as the title says; any SC2 players here?  I play casually (probably under 10 1v1 games.. usually PUG 2s and 3s) and I also play the shit out of the arcade game Squadron TD.

Any SC2 love here?

i love starcraft 2 to death but i get pawned almost everytime online so i lost interest. i will play the new campaign mode and it seems there trying to make it more "noob" friendly online with the next expansion so i definitly give it a second chance then.

I've never played it, is it worth trying out?

Yeah, I've been playing on and off since WoL Beta. I have 6000+ games on record, mostly drunken team games with friends or 1v1 cheesing.
I've used Random the most as I love all the races and matchups, but Terran is the only one I'm not comfortable with yet. Just prior to reading this topic I returned to laddering after ~2 months' break, ended up with 4-4 - not too shabby for my weakest race.

Here's to hoping that LotV shall deliver!

I'd say so, especially if you like other rts games like Age of Empires 2. It's fun, got nice graphics, and there's a buttload of custom maps and game modes you can download. There was one custom game I used to really like called starjeweled...basically you play Bejeweled to get points to buy units to destroy the enemy base. So yeah I think it's pretty cool. In most places it's only like $20 anyhow, so it's not too big a risk. The one annoyance is that you have to login to Battle.net every time you start the game, even if you just want to play offline.

I used to be play all the god damm time. I even ended up building a computer, and buying a gaming laptop just to play it.

I have since sold both so i have not played in almost a year!!!

I can't wait to get back into it. Have yet to play the new campaign.

For Aiur!!!!

Try the tower defense game in the arcade ^___^

You on EU server or Americas?

I have prolly played around 2,000 (rough estimate) games of SC2. All of them ranked, I have been as high as gold. When i was gold I lost pretty much every game. Even at a really low skill level, you can still have fun losing just trying to survive. I even went on the Korean server for a bit, just to die. It is prolly the best RTS ever made. If you like RTS you must play it. The only problem is that you will need at least 50 hours before you start to consider that you are even sort of good, IMO.

The issue with StarCraft is you have to have your strategy down to the very seconds. Every second counts, and if you can't multitask and plan 4 steps in advance you are bound to lose. Also you have to memorize every unit and every possible strategy a person can be using and then know how to counteract it .

I only made it to silver myself.

Yeah, that's why I never made it very far in ranked either. When played at my preferred pace, I find RTS games to be fun and relaxing. Unfortunately that pace is way, WAY slower than needed to win. By the time I'd started creating troops, I'd already have enemy armies blowing up my base. I could have tried stepping up my game, but I knew it wouldn't be as fun to me as just playing a leisurely game against the CPU.

I can hardly imagine what it must be like for those competetive players who can manage like, what, 20 inputs per second or something crazy like that? It's like that Dr. Who episode: "Don't blink. Blink and you're dead."

I love RTS games, Blizzard ones in particular. I'm awful at them competitively though, I spend too much time building a perfectly designed base, and sitting back and being proud of what I built.

Americas or EU server?

bump. Play some PC gold with me!

I haven't played in a little while now, a few months, but when I do I play like crazy and I'm pretty damn good at it, I played the series a lot since 2003. american servers, I play all 3 units randomly but I'd say I mostly play toss. One i've yet to buy but really want is starcraft 64 lmao.

looks like an old thread but pm me if you still play 1337. Plat level toss here. Never could get to diamond, but I feel that is mostly due to lack of games. I don't think I have the brainpower to get to master, let alone GM.
