Title: SC2 Beta Operational
Post by: Branical on February 21, 2010, 03:03:37 PM
The StarCraft II beta went live today with 20,000 invites in the first wave. If anyone managed to snag one and doesn't plan on using it, I'd be willing to trade quite a bit of gold for it. I think my account officially goes offline in March though, so the trade would have to be fairly soon.

No, when I got mine you get a serial number that you can apply to any battle.net account.

After playing it for a little bit, I have to say that I'm dissapointed with the art direction they took. The original units were a lot more sharp looking and had defined edges, which worked especially well for the Terran buildings. Now everything is so rounded that the game lost the "war" feeling and it all looks like a dog's squeeky toy. And maybe it's just me, but a lot of the new units look somewhat similar and there isn't that sense of diversity that the first one had.

I just sent the keys via personal message. Go to your battle.net accounts and "add a game" with those keys.

The people at GameStop gave me 2 keys when I preordered, so I have 1 extra. It's starting to feel like an episode of Oprah. YOU get a beta key! And YOU get a beta key! And YOU get a beta key!

I've never played it so I'd be terrible at it (I used to play WC3 and some HoN so I'd just have to get used to it) but if nobody else wants it, I'd try the game out.

Always be ready for a reaper rush, do not let the protoss proxy in/near your base, and do not let the zerg out expand you.

This is just a good overall life philosophy.

Depending what race you play zerg are just going to rush you before they ever expand. If you have never played before i'd recommend Terran. They are pretty anti-rush because they are able to block off their ramps with 2 supply depots and a barracks. Forcing the opponent to go air or upgrade a tier before bringing in units.

Post by: Vindra on May 06, 2010, 09:53:09 AM
If you've never played before you will want to play against the retarded AI and learn the units, read the in game "this counters this" and practice:  Blocking(terran/toss) or inject larva(zerg), scouting(game breaking and most don't do it), HOTKEYS HOTKEYS HOTKEYS, macro vs micro, Tech/building order, and learn the layout of the maps.  Some are more susceptible to rushes/backdoor/econ starve or air units.

Reading some strats never hurt.  Also for beta a 2v2 can be two random dudes vs two dudes that know each other, obviously in retail that won't happen. So find a friend(that is good) and team up and learn while he can help protect you from the rape train that comes.
