Yeah. I'm still scratching my head still about it. He found a way.

The fact that you lost with that... probably means you were doing something wrong, cause if you had 5-1 resources, you could have just gone 5-1 battlecruisers and be done with.

he had a ton of battle crusiers. I had been losing a little by little.

It sounds like you were winning the big fights, then instead of pushing on and taking the main (destroying tech upgrades etc) you would fall back and rebuild...

I miss my scourge a lot..... Punish players like mad for massing T3 air.

Course, banelings are a lot of fun!

I like baneling carpet bombing.

Does anyone know how to do a banelng carpet bomb its actually pretty awesome.

I'm guessing Overlords loaded with Banelings.

yep its awesome as they explode on contact.

Just out of curiosity , is there a way to make SCVs auto repair something? In the campaign i recall them doing so aslong as i have them click a bunker for example.
But in skirmish , they run off everytime someone attacks ( probably if they take some damage ) but cant they just stay there and repair geez -_-

I can't remember if they have a "Stand Ground" button, but if they do, try that.

No, that is disabled in the multiplayer.

No, that is disabled in the multiplayer.

Are they trying to simulate fear and loss in morale with that?

:Edit:

According to the wiki SCVs can autocast repair, it's just something you have to activate. I've never seen anyone do it, and I'm looking into how.

Right click the repair icon IIRC.

Yep, thats it.

Anyone who played warcraft 3 should know that

Well you are a trooper I tried Zerg after finishing campaign and I couldn't do it XD. They strike me as the hard to learn harder to master faction.

Also remember that only one SCV can build but as many as can touch the damaged vehicle/structure can repair. Took me awhile to notice. EDIT: Also, if SCV's are doing something, like gathering, they won't stop to repair something. The auto-repair only kicks in when they're standing around not doing anything else.

ok i got a perfect 3 streak.

I just completed the FFA: Insane achievement and got a picture of Orlan to use. You get the achievement by defeating 7 computers set to insane on free for all at the same time.

Probably depends on the player and past experience. I thought I was going to go Terran because that's what I thought the Campaign would teach you to play, and played around with them in single player games, but was getting beat by easy A.I.s. Switched to `Nids, the army I played in SCI, and was able to curb stomp Medium A.I.s after only a couple games. Probably has to do with the Campaign not actually teaching you how Terrans play in non-Campaign games much at all as well.

I got the 3 game Solo Hot Streak Achievement today. Started to go for the 5 game and it started to rain, which for some reason makes my DSL reset ever 5-10 minutes, so I got disconnected and lost. Annoys the crap out of me because the graphs showed me as having a higher Economy as well as Army Value and I was in the process of attacking him when it happened.

Yeah, don't really look to the campaign to teach you how to play Terran well. The campaign is there to teach you to memorize the tech tree and upgrades that they can get in any given game. Half the units are just classic ones that can't be used in Multiplayer (Just an estimate, that - no idea how many units are actually classic ones that are campaign only).

Although I will say that having permanent upgrades and such is awesome in campaign. Nothing quite like the Tech Reactor pumping out 2 Battlecruisers at a time...

ok. I fought 3 bots on hard mode. It took me 1 hour and 34 minutes. But i beat them By making them attack me. Basically you can check it at my Starcraft 2 Profile StormWarrior 931

Congrats! That is one replay I would love to see.

Firebat, Medic, Goliath, Vulture, Wraiths, Siege Breaker mercs (They still use Arclite cannons on their tanks ala SC1 instead of Crucio)

Those are the only classic-SP-only units I can think of.

Also, I miss my tech reactors...

don't we all?
Also i'll try and get one of my replays up....

Almost every starcraft 1 unit for each race is represented in the campaign. If you look carefully you can see scourges, scouts, guardians, and reavers. They're rare in their use though.

pretty damn rare if you ask me.

So, anyone else play the "Hungry Baneling" custom map? I thought it was hilarious, even though it did chug a bit for me.

Where can you get those custom maps?

Can someone explain the leage thing for me? I'm in the gold league for 2v2 ranked 51 I think. What does that mean?

BrookM wrote:Where can you get those custom maps?

If you click on the multiplayer screen, in the lower right there is a button for Custom Games. Just select the Join Game button, and it will bring up a list of the different games available. Hungry Baneling should be near the top, as it is one of the more popular ones. This is also where you can find the Tower Defense and RPG style games.

Oh, and djones, here is an article on SC2 leagues that explains it way better than I could:
