Anyone playing this, what do you think? Very similar to the first one. Gamespot gave it a 9.5 I think that is a bit much I would give it a 8.5. There are some nice new features but they took LAN away, pissing off the competitors.

Another knock on the game is it is the first installment of three separate games all going for $60 a piece! I got mine on eBay for $45 and am pretty happy with it, is anyone else playing? I am loving the cooperative mode...

Yeah I have it and have been doing the co-op too. I don't know how to add people or anything though

A) Probably the best RTS ever released, deserves a 10 in my book

B) Yes there will be 3 $60 installments, but each will have a full single player campaign with around 30 missions which focus on each race instead of having 10 for each race like SC and BW had so this really isn't something to complain about. I'm sure we will see new units in the expansions as well, we already know they put the models for firebats, vultures, medics etc in the game so I'm sure we'll see more of the same for toss and zerg.

Don't have the game. Remember the original, and expansion. Was so much fun to play, specially on networks. Made me impatient waiting for the second one, that eventually I gave up waiting. At this point, id prolly have to do some computer work to even get mine capable of running it.

Couldn't begin to guss how much time I had on the original.

I am waiting for my code now but you guys can add me splatterhous

Played 4 trials since last week, so I have 28 hours into it already.

Starcraft 1 is easily the most balanced, competitive RTS to this day. It is also my favorite real close to WC3 but it just beats it. SC1 is a pure blood of true balanced micro managing. Now days I prefer TB Strategy games, but Starcraft will also be the best (multiplayer) strategy ever.

I am not all that great either, I was a SC1 master a long time ago but I had a T3 connection at the university and a nice PC. Not that SC1 needed it and as a matter of fact SC2 doesn't either. My settings are all on low and I don't lag or have bad FPS at all, that's running on a i3 laptop with 512 ATI mobility. If you have at least 128 video and a dual core PC you can run it just fine I am sure. Blizzard is known to take computer specs into account when creating a game making sure those who have a computer a few years old will still be able to play great on lower settings.

I wouldn't pay $60 for this game but if you can find it around $40, and have either never played it but enjoy strategy games or really liked SC1, it can easily be worth $40 of fun. If you hated SC1 don't bother...

PROTOSS (or w/e) ftw

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
