Starcraft 2 - Read Post #2 for a useful beginner guide

[Molondo]

Any good custom maps out yet? I'm itching for some.

It's really fishy when I get dropped as soon as I decimate all his forces and go for the counter-attack ...

Over 2000 achievement points so far...

Not sure what to do at this point besides finish the campaign bullshit. (Still have to beat it on brutal/hard with all the things done and a few other things)

 

[Barfo]

Is there a way of returning to the cantina after finishing the campaign? I want to do the arcade game achievement, plus it's sort of fun to play from time to time.

 

[Barfo]

Also, anyone know of a good Terran micro guide? I A+click my units half the time and realize it's really crappy, but don't really know how it should be done.

Control groups. More of them. It's the best way to start.

i think there's a drop hack out. I said in a previous post, i got dropped for no reason and kicked off battlenet 4 minutes into a 2v2 ladder match. my connection was fine and i was on skype the entire time w/ my partner.

i'd like to do the same... complete some achievements.

i think you might have to start a new campaign.
does anyone know if you lose your old achievements/portraits?

logically i would think not.

Lost 5 4v4 random games in a row last night. I kept getting some retarded teammates. Well, usually it was one person that really sucked on my team (and no, it wasn't me lol).

4v4 random is really a crap shoot. I don't know why I play it. I guess I like the gamble and chaos of possibly getting a great team or a shitty one.

You never lose achievements.

What you can do is just load a previous save before you went to char and just get the achievements you need from there, then reload your latest char save.

I just checked my achievements and I have the "Unbreakable" achievement lol.

On 8.12 one unit killed 40 units. Need to figure out which replay that is then make a video of it.

crap, i never saved.
how many autosaves does the game keep?

Check your save folder in My Documents... It saves ridiculous amounts. It can save like five times while in a mission, right after a mission is saved, during important decisions of the campaign (i.e. choosing nova or tosh) and I am sure other places. It basically saves everything. It won't show you all of it in the games load window though because it has a cap of showing like 25 saves (which is stupid as fuck).

hm, not sure, it saves occasionally. But you might be able to go to your sc2 saves folder and find more saves than are listed in-game.

i'll try it out tonight. thx peeps.

8 mineral patches x 2 = 16 + 2gas x 3 = 6 = 24, but you want 24+8 when you expand so you can send them to the expansion so you can saturate your minerals quicker in the 2nd expo.

unless my 2nd grade math teacher lied to me, 16 + 6 = 22.

my mistake! How about keep making worker units until the game finishes! That's all I got

DOTA v 0.1 out for those interested

older than dirt!
but you had me. i was expecting the real deal since i heard from my friend the actual map is out but it's low on heroes and hence sucks ATM.

I always thought this would be interesting, to follow a replay of one unit that goes through a bunch of battles, never dies, and has a huge kill stat at the end of the game.

haha yea I saw someone post it and I felt I had to help. Thing is that is the actual map. You can load into the game thinking it is a normal DOTA game and then whoop the video starts playing.

well it could also just be 1 Ghost nuking twice. The multiplayer achievement I'm the most surprised by is "Flying the Heal Bus" which is to heal 5k dmg in a single game. I'm pretty sure it was one of my random 2v2's where I had a bunch of medivacs following my ally's mutas around healing them, was great.

5000 healing isn't too tough. Just get a bunch of marines/mauraders and 8 medivacs. Stim them like 4 times or until they are all red in health and you will get teh 5k healing in no time haha
