I used mines during first wave and gave my "Friend key" to my brother. We're not playing anymore until the map editor comes out.

I would let someone try the game but it's linked to my WoW account which was worth $4000 last time I got a quote, with all the gold and geared 80s I have.

Can I try it out? I swear to Jebus that I won't do anything to your WoW account. I'll stop the beta anytime you want me to.

Everyone needs to go to Husky's YouTube channel and watch the PP vs. TT game he posted yesterday. Freaking crazy, probably the most unorthodox game I've seen thus far.

Husky is annoying as hell, but I'll watch the game.

Edit: Does he really call himself "H to the usky Husky"? What a fucking tool...this game better be good or I will be very angry.

People are paying real money to participate in the beta of a game that's outdated before it's even released? Wow, I knew Activision Blizzard fans were stupid, but wow.

Been playing the cracked version with AI 7.0 at the highest difficulty. I keep getting pwned by Terran when playing as Protoss.

Marines rush, then Marauders, then Vikings and Thors. Ahh.

You need to rush high templars to kill marines/marauders, psystorm is a must against terran bio

my friend loaned me his acct over the weekend, so now that it's gone, i have time to comment that roaches are fairly overpowered in the early game. if you know the zerg's going roaches early, you pretty much have to be on the defensive as a terran or toss.

No, if your terran you block off your base then make a couple marines with a reactor, then a second barracks with a tech lab and mass marauders, marauders can kill 2 roaches per. Best defense in this game is the best offense/counter.

Zerg will always go to roaches, esp in lower leagues because people can get away with it against worse players. In the higher leagues you go zerglings to harass > roaches to hit the base > hydra/muta to harass gatherers > then counter whatever the other player has. Most plat players can kite with terran bikes and kill one unit at a time because of their speed. Siege tanks far away and bikes to harass units are win.

If your toss, mass zealots in lower league, get like 10 then attack if the other player hasn't. at that point you should have at least a cybor core and be massing stalkers and couple of those def shield units. Then you have a choice of either warping dark templar into the back of their base with a diversion up the front of the base or going void ray + zealot/stalker or doing colossus + stalker (or other anti-air).

You should always have detect units, if your terran, build the Raven and tech their laser shooting thingy, it rapes enemies because it doesn't allow them to get 20 missile attacks off. If possible when your terran, do 2 barracks, 1 reactor 1 tech lab at the start, then a factory and starport for siege and marine/marauder drop on enemy gatherers. If that didnt kill them either go thor + marauders or vikings, depending on counter.

Obviously these are rough diagram for play, and can vary depending on map and your style. My best suggestion would be for yall to learn how to kite with any unit, mainly marine stim-pack and med ship (if you can do that you can kite anything).

^lol yes, get detection. i played a guy who went mass hydra and called me cheap because i got 4 cloaked banshees, killed everything he had, and he was powerless to stop me.

too bad that was an early win. i got stomped for the rest of the night :(

and i totally dropped the ball in one game. completely destroyed a zerg's econ with hellions, but since i didn't build anything in the meantime, i had built up ~2k in resources which I promptly spent (accidentally on BC's...should have gotten ravens). he got mass mutas and ended up winning because i had nothing to defend against that :(

i can't get the cracked version to run. i launch the app and it just sits there for a minute, eventually the screen blacks out and i can't do a thing.

has anyone in the beta had trouble with hard crashes/freezes? I was getting them about once per week and I thought it might just be my hardware, but after patch 6 my game crashes every other match. There are a bunch of people on the official forums with similar problems but there doesn't seem to be any discernible correlation as to the cause.
