Im just really curious who here actually played Starcraft Broodwar since any knowledge there would be beneficiary in learning Starcraft 2 or is everyone just hopping the Starcraft 2 bandwagon? :rolleyes:
 
I don't play it constantly, but I have played it before, yes.
 
Playing it now, but I know the story so when I come to a mission I don't want to do, I play another race and then go back to it later
 
Sometimes... it's always fun to play that game.

Terran, too. Nothing else for me. :)
 
Zerg > Terran ;o Ling mass rape all :D (Except Air, but then you just get Hydra-Muta combo harass then Ling ambush base)
 
Occasionally I LAN with my bro and a few friends. I personally love the protoss. My bro kicks my ass with the zerg though lol.
 
I've played Starcraft since two years after it's release. It was the game that stole my heart, and I've loved Sci-Fi and RTS ever since. The game has a fantastic story, amazing gameplay, and really cool teams!

However, it's still the hardest game I've ever played. Can't get anywhere without cheats :p

Amen. I'm sure there's going to be a major faction wars when the game comes out, at least I know what side I'm on :D There's just something so alluring, so seductive about the perfection of those killing machines, even if they're a difficult team to play.
 
da1nOnlyEd, I support all 3 races.

Zerg are the ulltimate race.

The Protoss are half magical, so they are cool (also zealots now have dash <3 )

The terran are what you would expect the human race to be. However there are a coupple of very addictive units and combos you can make (for example marine and medic and firebat is a very strong combination (kinda useless agains flying units and units like the siege tank, but pretty darn strong)
 
I don't think I ever played anyone race more than any other. I always randomed. I don't really play anymore though, really only at LAN parties. When I do play outside of LAN parties, it's against the computer because I don't want to get creamed online.
 
Sevion, I am no german keyboard now. Y is where Z shloud be. Not to mention that the [ brakets seem to be missing.... :eek::eek::eek:


I still remember some of my better games °flashback° Hope that the gameplay won't be screwed up.
 
(for example marine and medic and firebat is a very strong combination (kinda useless agains flying units and units like the siege tank, but pretty darn strong)

which is countered by Hydralisks and Lurkers.


Try Ultraling. The bane of all noob protoss players :D

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
