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

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
