Starcraft 2

[Lumps]

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

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 dont have it yet, but I will now check ebay as the OP said. I am right there with pantherclaw, I pro'lly need to update my graphics card or something. Watched a few 'epic' battles on youtube, pretty f__kin cool...

I have it and its fun. I'm not great but been doing lots of 3v3 online multiplayer

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

I have it, I sold back some old games so I didn't pay the full $60. I stopped playing the campaign because I've been having so much fun with the multiplayer. If anybodys trying to start some Huddle co-op games or vs. games I'm down.

I'm waiting on SC2. Although I could run it now, I want to wait both for a price drop and for when I upgrade my system. I'll probably get it when the 2nd expansion comes out, especially if it's the Zerg campaign.
