StarCraft 2

Yeah I've been using roaches/hydras but I just discovered how good infestor can be and I'm going to try to use banelings more as well.

Buring your banelings out of the way and then luring your opponents mass tier 1 army into a huge banelings rush is definitely fun. Also, if you're going for early mass roaches and you're playing against T or P and you see them building for marauders or immortals switch to Hydras and tech up, use them to get to handle those and use your roaches for everything else.

Anyone use Broodlords in online play?

I've been testing things against the AI and surviving with fastlings/infestors while teching to Broodlords works well against AI, but I don't know how it would work in ranked matches.

We will be enemies soon then. I hunt Zerg players.

But not before I finish the single player.

The Swarm will eat your marines/zealots for breakfast.

That's fine. Problem is, I plan on having Hive for dinner.

Most games won't last to the point where you can really get broodlords out.

Just started on the single player. If I dig it I'll probably buy the game. How is online play? Any kind of rankings where you play people at your difficulty, etc?

When you start online you play 5 placement matches for whatever mode you're doing, 1v1, 2v2 random teams, 2v2 arranged teams (have to play new matches for each new partner) etc and your results put you in a league. Copper (0-5, 1-4), Bronze (2-3), Silver (3-2), Gold (4-1) or Platinum (5-0). You play other people in your league and gain and lose points based on your record. Get enough points and you move up leagues, lose enough and you move down.

That sounds pretty awesome actually. Thanks for the info.

Can my roommate and I play on Battle.net in the same game, using the same router or do they block that?

Man I loved Starcraft and Warcraft (before the new one, when it was a game you played without other people). But I'm an adult now...wish I still had hours and hours to just waste...
