I got the game friday for my birthday. I have not have much time to play but so far(5-6 missions in) I'm loving it.
They have done a nice job with the single player game making the missions feel like part of the overall story. The cut scenes are well done and the between mission upgrade feature is cool.
I have no time for multiplayer right now. Maybe after this place is stable ;)
Anyone else playing.
I want to get one, but I need to upgrade my computer first. but Ive played it a few times at my friend's shop. it's pretty awesome!
I'm running
AMD 5000+
ati 4850
2gb ram
windows 7
At 1680x1050 it look great and plays fine.
I have it and love it. Just completed all campaign missions on brutal last week. Feel free to add me when you decide to multiplayer: http://sc2sig.com/s/us/873961-1.png
SC2 is a lot of fun, same great play style as the first one buy more modern technology and a lot more fun. The missions are great and I enjoy playing the online custom games.
I can't seem to get passed gold on online competitive play.

im s-o-l with the OS. haha
um, yea, time for an upgrade.
I've got it, beat the single player campaign, but haven't been able to play online, internet is far too slow here. I liked it, haven't met a blizzard game yet that I don't.
It's called WoW.Quote:

Wasn't originally going to purchase the game but bent to peer pressure and bought it on launch day. Glad I did - even for all my hang-ups I had about the game (no LAN play, everything goes thru BlizNet 2.0, etc.), I'm still enjoying it. Wishing I could get into a few more balanced multi-player games as I either get stuck with a bunch of f'tards or pitted against folks who should be playing several ranks higher.
I have it, still haven't played too much. I used to play the original SC a lot back in the day.
Got it when it first came out and loved it was so addicted for a good three weeks and I definitely do not have time to do that so I forced myself to give it up :(
lol driver I feel you there! I have too much homework and then work to give this game as much time as it needs but MAN its fun. I FINALLY beat the campaign and learned how crappy I am online...but I'm learning veeeerrrryyy slowly :) My poor PC has finally met its match, I can do 2v2 okay but anything after that and I bog down something fierce.
Drop me a line for a buddy list, I'd be game to play one of these days which means usually just on a tuesdays until fire season ends.

:suspect:
we'll see it will depend on characters.
I should finish wc3 some day.

admittedly, the quest campaign was the best part.

You can add me if you would like. Toofast4radar@yahoo.com
... You haven't finished WC3 yet?... Ouch. I totally agree though, the only real good part about that game was the actual campaign. Online got lame fast.Quote:

I need time to just sit and play though. This hour here or two hours there thing isn't cutting it. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...ges/crying.gif

Yes and no. They appear to be on fire but their power is actually demonic IIRC. Used by the Burning Legion (Undead basically). That's the big ass thing that falls from the sky in the original intro movie and kills they fighting human and orc.Quote:

Yes I bought SC2, but I've only done the single player campaign so far. I've done 6 missions and love it.
Once I get a new computer in a month I'll start it up again. I was playing it on my laptop but that thing is a dog, and my desktop is almost 7 years old. Wow takes up almost half the hard drive on this thing!
Bought SC2 the day it came out and im loving it. Mostly only doing campaign so far (dont have too much time to play) But im still loving the multiplayer.
Used to play SCI on the same par as some of the WoW nuts when it was still popular, and im super impressed with the way they handled the sequel.
I dont remember anything else from those years really though.
Brother I feel your pain... Except I've upgraded my hard drive since then. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...s/thumbsup.gif That at least kept me going. Until now... Ugh...Quote:

Hey hey hey... Don't be dissing the 3.4Ghz P4 now... That's what I'm running... Lol. But in all reality I just need more RAM. My video card is up to the task, I've just been skimping on the memory. O well. I'm overdue for a new computer anyway.Quote:

I recommend watching videos on the challenges and doing those. Or this youtube guy my bro learned just about everything he knows about the game:

This is the first rts I ever got any good at, and it's intimidating at first, but theres tons of information on how to play online, WATCH the replays that you lose, or even if you win and it was close. The replay system is very useful. And watch the pros that play your race, I get these from sc2win.com personally.

anyone want to play?
*high five* That is awesome. To be honest, this damn CPU is definitely holding it's own. How much RAM do you have now? I'm sure you can make the game work :) I'm running it with an ATI Radeon 3800, P4 3.4 single core :D, 3 gigs of RAM and an SB Audigy...and am amazed that it runs so well.Quote:

Marc get online foo!
Oh definitely. Multiplayer >>> campaign.Quote:

Eric...sorry...I have to be at work at 6. Didnt you see the fire near elsinore in the cleveland national forest? That's how I get overtime :D hahah Gotta take it where I can get it this season. I will probably be on all the damn time towards the end of November when school and work ends...right around when everyone else will be getting tired of the game lol
Oh damn marc! Overtime pay must be nice!! I am right near elsinore haha!
Bumping this thread because I am attempting to make a merge from WoW to SC2 since it's much more time-friendly.
Have yet to do multiplayer, but I did finish the campaign on normal just to see the cinematics. They look so awesome on max video settings! I love my new rig.
i replayed the campaign when they released the "extreme" graphics settings (only work son single player, not MP). looks absolutely beautiful.
