Didn't know what lag was? So? Big deal.
Anyway...
I've never played Starcraft, so I'm probably missing alot. And I would be interested in it. But, what MicroPsycho described sounds alot like Warcraft II online. No strategy at all, just map full of units and that's it... So SC is better than that? I did like WC2 single player, though.

The cutscenes from StarCraft are still some of the my favorites, ever. Oh, and it's damn fun, too.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

There's another retarded aspect of the game. All you need to do to win a multi match is mass 1st tier units, whcih requires no strategy.

Love Starcraft offline... suck at it online.

Still one of my favorite games, but i just don't have the skills for playing this (or many others for that matter) online.

If you knew how to counter that you can totally destroy the other palyer when they do that...

build enough rangers and rocket troopers in C&C Generals and you can do that too.

Logically the way to counter that would be to form/find a bottleneck, or whore defense buildings. Or you could sneak behind their rush to crush them.

Exactly, there you go. Strategy.


And after theyve wasted their imminent resources rushing you instead of building defense, you counterattack and crush them.

If you hate Starcraft, you are anti-american. Why do you hate Freedom?



Obviously, I'm joking. But still, this is the type of nonsense that is this thread.

99% of maps have some sort of cliff or bottleneck into a base... all your early buildings should be around that bottleneck... you don't have to build defense buildings... just one or two supply depots and a barracks to block the entrance, and one or two marines behind your wall, and you're set.

Love StarCraft...lost many hours to that game.  Much fun on all fronts...although Brood War was redicululously hard.

Signed.

I used to play a lot before the Koreans got a hold of it. Had something around 80 wins and 2 losses or some strange **** like that (considering my strategic skills are dumbass).

It was pure ownage.

Can't stand it today because of the really really ugly graphics (hey, it was 1998, my eyes got used to some of the shiny crap of today), but I wouldn't mind playing again if they re-released it with better graphics. Wouldn't even want content change to buy it.

We should get a good ole fashioned HLP starcraft tourney going.  I love starcraft.  I remember once, just once, I beat the #1 player in the world, and I felt like "the man".

I HAVE to agree with the psycho
SC is gay, its

A) pointless
B) for people that have absolutely no lives
C) people that still own p2s
D) it looks like ****, sounds like ****, gameplay is ****
E) it is repetative
F) multiplayer sucks my aunts bawls
G) the storyline sucks ass
H) the terran are cool, the 2 other races are no doubt the lamest idea of an enemy i have ever layed eyes about.
I) the people who play it have no self esteem
J) the people who RAPE you:
A) only care about APM
B) saving the replay to watch it over and over
C) waiting for the WCGs that year so they can get their asses handed over and lose any hope of being a 'noobhammer'

K) I rather play minesweeper or solitare on windows 95
L) there are so much games that are worth playing over SC
M) Worms armageddon > SC
Joint ops > SC
Flat out > SC
Act of War > SC
Rome: total war > SC
Planetside > SC
Brothers in arms > SC
FS > Sc
Freelancer > SC
Eve > SC
hell even pong and tetris > SC

Not to mention my 3 friends who are just discovering SC and they talk about it 24/7 and think they are uber noobhammers and think they have a chance at WCGs, which they don't

they play everyday, have no lives, they are a bunch of followers and cannot afford decent pcs, well 2 of the 3 can, but one I have respect for, one i have little to no respect for and the 3rd, he is justa plain follower, so he does what they do because he can be very pathetic at times

I'm not saying that you people who like it are complete moronix smacktards, but when people talk about it like decades after is release, and still play it over 20 hours a week, it frankly pisses me off to a point where i can not deal with it

I have nothing against SC players, only the ones who play SC as their only game, for instance, these 3 friends

let go guys, meet some chicks or something, they are so much better than lame 9 year old pc games, especially RTS

If you actually registerred just to ake this post (which I assume, reading your signature) then I hope your stay on HLP is short lived, and not very enjoyable.
