StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
 

I am a huge Starcraft fan, and have been since the first Starcraft game came out. This sequel has been long in coming, and as such, many people have very high expectations about it.

I would like this thread to be open for people to discuss what they liked/disliked about Starcraft, or if they have ever played it. If you've ever played on battle.net.

And especially what your looking forward to in the new game. (I read that the Xel'Naga were going to make an appearance, dunno if its true or not, but that would be pretty sweet)

Have at it boys/girls/parents/children/zerglings. :P

I would love to get the game when it comes out, but unfortunatly, my computer cant handle it. Maybe it will wait to show its head until after October, when I will have money to buy a brand new, top of the line, gaming computer.

As for what I hated: Zergling rushes. Though, after about 3 deaths to those little buggers I started to create a perfect defense right off the start. Since I was always protoss I would put a cannon wall, usually 3 deep, before a Zerg player could amass an army to kill me. Then, I would continue to mine and build cannons ALL around my base, leaving just enough room for 3 Stargates and the buildings required to upgrade/build Carriers. By that time, I would usually have over 100 Probes, which would be sacrificed to Aiur in a Probe rush, other than about 5 or 6 so that I could rebuild cannons easy. Then mass Carriers and swarm the enemy base. I think I even killed one or two people with my Probe rushes.

As for what Im looking forward to: The new units. Jump-pack Marines, giant walker things like the Eldar have in Warhammer for the Protoss, the exploding Zerglings, and the new Dragoon. Those are all I can really remember. Oh, and Im also looking forward to the actual game itself so I can see what happened to everything after Brood War ended.

AARRRGGHHH!! You are sooo lucky. I would love to just play one round on beta, I can't wait till it comes out. The little that I have heard makes it sound amazing. Plus i've seen a few pictures of the new graphics..and its a HUGGEE improvement. I read there was going to be 3 different installments Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void. Does anyone know if you can play all of them in the beta testing, or is it just Wings of Liberty?

My friend is in on the Starcraft II beta and lets me use his account sometimes. It's a bit unbalanced, but it's beautiful. I need to go out and buy a new copy of the Starcraft Battle Chest or something so I can try to get in on the Diablo 3 beta or something.

I had Starcraft when I was a youngin'. It was my 2nd PC game ever, I think. I'm not great at it, but I need to practice. It's wonderful.

Ahhh, my friend lets me play on their beta account too. I don't play it very often, but so far I've just found it extremely satisfying. I have to ask, what did you find was a little unbalanced Pkero?

anyone still playing starcraft 2?

i've been playing everyday since I got it. I got the collector's edition too!
But yeah it sucks that it's only the terran story line so far but I feel like the other two are gonna be even better.
