Game: Starcraft 2

watch this:

the cool thing is that units can wield 3 different (or more?) weapons now

so a rifle for long range, machine gun for burst, flamethrowr for close range

and now imagine
8 players, everyone chooses a different character
they barricade themselves somewhere

you hear one marine scream

"Zerg incoming, defend yourselves!!!"

everyone starts shooting and tries to stop the swarm as they manage to cross the barricade

"Fall back!" while retreating, the technican class runs up to the consoles and activates a few towers to cover their retreat and the heavy gunner jumps into the Goliath mechs and wreaks havoc over the zerglings

oh pls, someone create such a map ^^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4w1Xfdk5ZA basically just like this, only better and bigger

or maybe rebuild omaha beach and add a few comp-marines who also help defend against invading forces.

Zerg Rally Tricks:
As always, the key to the zerg is mass mass mass. Its important to not stop production even during a heated battle, and you'll likely want your backup to head straight to the front lines. Then again, maybe you'd rather keep them back in case the enemy tries to sneak attack while your army is out? Well in any case, rallying is the way to go. Here's a few things you can do with rallies for zerg.

1) Hatcheries have 2 rally points. I don't recall if I mentioned this already, but they do. One is for the drones, the other is for everything else. Just click on a hatchery, right click on a resource, and you'll automatically set the drone rally point. Click on a hatchery and right click anywhere else to set the rally point for your other units. If you group all your hatcheries, you can easily control their collective rally points the same way.

2) You can shift+click multiple points for your rally. Use this if you prefer your units to flank a destination from the side, rather than a b-line straight across. Especially handy for fliers.

3) You can override rally points for each unit. Just select an egg and right click on the map, a resource, an enemy, etc, and the unit will rush to execute its command. If you are massing units that you want to back up your army with, but don't want to mess up your hatchery rally points, just click a rally point after evolving the larvae before you select off them. Only that batch of units will arrive at the new destination.

Note: Another useful fact about rallying for all 3 races - units now rally via the attack command instead of the move command. This means you no longer have to worry about them ignoring enemies right out of the gate like they used to in the original.

My roommate and I have been practicing the beta pretty hardcore. I can get into the 1v1 gold league fairly consistently now. 2v2 is a bit harder for zerg, though. They tend to get ganged up on. :[

[Xelbair]

I've just preordered SC2. Playing beta was fun(even getting owned by my platinium league friend...) - i'm gonna stick to zerg once again.

Terran seems to be my best race. I was able to get into gold twice playing exclusively as Terran. I wonder if the hydralisk change from t1 to t2 building is affecting my gameplay. I couldn't get pass the bronze league playing as zerg and i used to be pretty good with them in sc1.

I see $59.99

I saw the lower price earlier today, now I see $60. I guess the sale is over or they realized they made a mistake.

[itadakimasu]

[Sandldan]

[itadakimasu]

Hoping to have my copy in the mail tomorrow

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

Gonna have it a few long hours. Till then I'm doing all I can to get this POS computer ready. Any suggestions how I could get it to run with less framerate lag? Already have the graphics driver upgraded and had all the settings turned down on the beta.

[Assertn]

oh shi...

[Xelbair]

I hate you... I wanted to get one too but they are damn expansive here, way more than in the us/rest of eu...
