Picked it up for 70 bucks and installing now. Giggling like a school girl.

 

[Suspense]

got it! need to get friggen home!!!

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Is it really only a human campaign and the zerg/protoss to be released later or whatever?

Is an editor included in the retail package, or available easily?

Important questions that decide my purchasing of this game.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Terran only for now, but it's been done in a much different way from what I can tell a few levels in. You get much more of a choice of the direction of it all.

Unsure on the editor, I didn't notice one but haven't really gone looking. Nothing mentioned from what I can see in the booklet given in the box.

I got it for only 70 bucks at JB Hifi today, just walked in and grabbed it after checking Dick Smith for their $70 copies.

Suspense, I know the feeling. I was rushing home as fast as possible, I've never felt like that for a game before.

****en, tell me about it

Work is killing me, dragging on and on like a sausage dog's hemheroids, as they say in the classics

need to get home

ps Jim Raynor notebook ftw

Picked it up today and am currently going through the campaigns to reaquaint myself with the SC gameplay. While it is unfortunate that the whole campaign of this chapter is from the POV of the terrans (being a protoss man myself) it is still pretty fun. Can't wait to get stuck into the multiplayer afterwards.

Edit: @LLD, theres a map editor included with the game.

 

[Schism]

Installing now, i haven't had a go at the beta so i'm going in fresh. I was a gun @ SC/BW for years, represented AUS and played with/against Legionnaire (same clan actually) before he went to Korea as a pro-gamer. Gonna absolutely smash the back out of this game. I might go on the dole.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

battle net is quite suck.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Installing/Ultra slow update time right now is killing me

Got it 8am on the dot, still waiting for the download after about an hour, had trouble connecting to battlenet which another mate has had trouble with

And yeah, i might seriously get fired if they catch me taking sick days to stay at home and play video games insted

 

[Schism]

all went smooth for me, installed and online in a matter of minutes. The only thing that's giving me the shits is i was stupid enough to attach my real name to my b.net account and now it displays my real name on my characters profile page next to the profile name. I don't really give a shit that much but it would be nice to have an option to disable that.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Some impressions so far:

BNet sucks.

Basically starcraft 1 but 5x faster, hence basically less micro involved and just massing numbers.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

BNet sucks thanks to Activision which literally screws every video game.

 

[100action]

ah ive been needing a notepad

 

[Schism]

It's a bit misleading for Blizzard to even call it battlenet anymore. It's a basic matchmaking service, and that's all it is, from what i can tell so far. I can't understand the logic behind not having chat. There lots of gimmicks and stuff on there, you can add facebook and shit, big deal. A profile page that you can't put any info on or modify, and achievements that will impress the 14 year olds. If this is battlenet, then dawn of war had battlenet too. So does Alien Swarm.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Yeah, I agree Schism. It reminds me a lot of the matchmaking service on MW2.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

btw my nick is Melo if you want a game sometime.

lol, first game got rushed bad.

And yes a chat needs to be added.

 

[Schism]

I've only played one game online so far, a 1v1 against, would you believe it, someone called Schism. What are the odds of being randomly matched up like that? Crushed him with a terran marine/tank push (he was Zerg), straight up SC1 style as i don't even know what units are available in SC2 yet, i haven't followed development closely for about a year.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Yeah, my first game was protoss and i set up a 2 gate zealot rush but the other guy owned me with 3 fast units (i forgot what it was called).

 

[Schism]

If anyone is up for some games soon, add me on there, profile name is Subjugation. Character code is 879 (whatever a character code is)

 

[Upgrayedd]

Playing the terran campaign, really enjoying it

 

[Equus]

Need the disc to play the game? I want to install it on both desk computer and laptop so that I can play against my brother.

Yeah, just the Terran for this one LLD

But the single player campaign is reportedly 50 hrs long

The 2 expansions are meant to be the same length too.

One is due for a 2011 release and the other a 2012 release

 

[Southerntakeover]

Bit shitty that the game only has one of the campaigns.

Obviously they'll sell us the other two at a later date.

The one campaign is longer than three from the original. Do you have a bitch every time a gaming trilogy is announced like Mass Effect, Gears of War or Assassins Creed?

It's nothing to complain about.
