I'm not good, and I haven't played in a while. But I've won my shares of 2v1s.

I'm curious as to how good you are... put me on your friend list.

i used to be good.. that game will never cease to die. it's a classic forever..

two best games ever made.. UT and SC... no contest

btw.. any UT challengers welcome..
 
Bring it on Adul 🙂 Bring it on. I had dropped that game for ages until 6 months ago when my roommate asked me to whooop some a$$.

<< Lets all set up a time to meet on battlenet so that we can have an anandtech tournament!!! 🙂 >>



Try it on saturday night.
 
Me and about 10 other guys have been playing once a week for the last couple of years on a LAN but I have never played on battle.net because they all say that the guys there are extremely tough.

lol🙂 not the thing to do, kinda like incest, your just gonna pick up bad habits that way. ppl on bnet are a mixed bag, there are many newbies out there, so maybe 50% change of playing decent ppl in a 2v2, not sure about 1v1's since i don't play those😛 even when there is a good person on the other team, many times he's being dragged down by a newbie partner😛


half the things are cloaked and i think it adds more luck to the factor then SC orig.

hell no! it adds more strategy to the game🙂 theres no luck in encounters with dark templars or lurkers. just have an observer and they die, and you die if you don't😛 pretty simple hehe. but if your not prepared, yea you get raped🙂 with the new replay feature you can rewatch some really pitiful stuff, like 4 dark temps slaughtering a stream of enemy units that aren't being watched🙂
 
Me and my friend were doing a 7v1 computer with some idiots for one purpose: treachery. we unallied and we owned 5 human opponents, I was zerg he was Protoss...good grief it was horrible what we did to them...but it just goes to show there are way too many newbies playing computer games nowadays *COUGH* COUNTERSTRIKE *COUGH*

But then again...me and my friend spanked 6 computers (2 each race) simultaneously as well so...
Unfortunately I stopped playing after that...I got too annoyed. 🙁

actually it adds more micro skills. in regular SC a good zerg player can win just by producing lots and lots of hydras. not the case in BW, you need at least two units.

well thats not exactly nice is it🙂 if they were prepared for a backstab i'm sure you woulda lost😛 plus, newbies join 7v1 comp games.. so its like taking candy from a baby, nothing to be proud of😛 as for 2v6 comps, i can take 7 comps by myself, comps are stupid, just gotta have a half decent defense, nothing to do with skill😛


can't expect much from bgh if thats what u play

2v2 temple fights are where its at

heh ppl that lose on bgh say that🙂
 
Platnium i'm on too.. East Coast Starcraft Orig... BNET NAME IS: Voiceriver

Everyone come on and message me.. my buddies are on too.. we can do some 2on2's or 3on3's..

why do u think there is no BGH ladder map ?

cuz with infinite resources there are huge race imbalances that arent there when you are forced to expand

all im saying is BGH = n00b

and with infinite resources the game is toss weighted since
1. they have cannons (take no supply and attack ground/air/detect)
2. the have mind control (ie enemy workers)

you can literally just cannon your way to victory by building ton of cannons -> carrier/scout
 
I play about every night, but I still suck 🙂
I play regular SC and BW.
My name is either ScottWeiland or Scott_Weiland
I play with SidewaysN2Second his username is: Pornandtech-xr
Hope to see you guys online! 🙂

My brother in law has a friend who will give you a run for your money. We had a sort-of lan party this summer. His friend wiped out everyone in record times. 🙁

because ladder players are snobs🙂

its not infinite at all esp since you do have to expand or else you will lose control of the map, not to mention
you must expand atleast once base or simple be outproduced.

1. they have cannons (take no supply and attack ground/air/detect)

semi true if lousy leave the toss alone to have their way around the map.

i've been in games where both parties did this, it isn't a stalemate forever, someone does lose.
 
I like SC but I hate the way sending your guys into a fight against carriers makes them shoot only at interceptors, that's the thing that pi$$es me off about the game. I also used to be good but, now I'm probably decent at best.

1 vs 7 comps is easy once you get through the first 5 mins... you set up a stupid barrage they run into and die while you slowly take them all out, especially effective with terrans

used to be good....probably suck now. i stopped playing ever since....daiblo II came out? i dont know, i dont have the time anymore. but u do want to play, count me in! I wanna play sometime again, during the weekend maybe!
