Some dude made this in less than a week of the release with simple in-game trigger editing and some physics functions. (probably just adjusts speed according to zheight changes).
Going to be some amazing mods coming out and sooner rather than later!
Probably as revenge for me quitting my wow subscription a long time ago
Hey this could be true, I also quit a long time ago and didn't get a key
But its not that big of a deal for me, SSF4 is coming in a few days and that'll keep me occupied for months !
I dont want to preorder i just want to play the beta online to see how much i get
pwned at a gametype i cant handle
I always end up following individual troops forgetting about my economy and everything ^^
I thought that they stopped the pre-order = beta-key? Anyway I'm waiting for my friends who pre-ordered to give me a friend invite but I'm not even sure if they are doing those friend invite waves anymore.
All preorders at Gamestop or Amazon get you a key, you only have to pay $5.... if its Gamestop you can call the store in advance to be on the safe side if you want
Well I just gave the beta a go, and geeze is the UI horrible. It took me the whole first match just to figure out how to talk to non-allies (its not in the UI at all afaik, but got it via shift+enter). Then afterwords I was messaged by one of the other players wanting to team up, and I couldnt reply, that is the message wouldnt send. I could go on, but its still in beta so I'll just hope they plan on reworking alot of it before release.
Also, sucks you lose the ability to lift your base as terran if you give it the defense ability. And the big mech guys arn't nearly as strong as the look...

They are, I just gave away two friend invites. I got them like 2 days ago.

Yeah starcraft is one of those games where T3 units can be just as cost effective as T1's. But there's some pretty cool mech builds out there for terran, and the the thor is the only unit with splash anti air damage. The problem with thors is that they overkill most units (doing 100+ damage to a zergling is silly) and suck against marauders, they have a odd role in the game, but can be really helpful.

Shift Enter.
Blizzard games have been like this most of the times They rely on hotkeys and /command.
There is a green player icon on the left side of your base frame right above the character attributes box. Double click that and you can see who is online and how many times he / she have messaged you. Double click his name to message him back.
The interface "AKA UI" will become extremely userfriendly after few days....^^
As for you command center lift off..If you upgrade a gun to it you cant because its more than just a command center than...If you upgrade the raidar you can still lift it off but wont be able to take any gatherers with you..makes sense if you think about it.

They don't want the planetary fortress being used aggressively, it'd make planetary fortress rushes worse, buy anyway, you shouldn't get planetary fortresses unless its your 2nd expo, or there's some extreme circumstances going on (base trading, really bad rushing, etc)

You can also type "/r (message)" and it will reply to the last person that messaged you.
Finally got in (Thanks to Nitewalkr)! Having an annoying problem though... Whenever I launch the game it loads for about 2 seconds, the screen goes black saying Not Responding and then Windows can't find a solution so I have to close. Does anyone know a fix for this? I've been searching on Google for nearly an hour and have found nothing that works...
I assume you are using vista? If so leave that not responding and do not do anything and see what happens. Usually when something is loading on the computer and you are trying to do something else while it loads, it gives you that "not responding" or "stopped responding" error.
Nope, using Windows 7. I know it's not going to fix it if I wait since when I do wait after a few seconds it says it couldn't fix it and the only option is to close. There isn't even an error reporter that pops up.
hah, no, I've got a Geforce 9800 gtx, which isnt top of the line but by no accounts is it bad. Rest of the comp works fine, nothing like this in any other game either (Crysis, UT3, etc.). Had sc2 freeze once before too. Maybe it doesn't like xp64?
Well I actually didn't have any problems till I lowered the settings from the default (which on my card is ultra on almost everthing). Didnt really need to lower them, just wanted to see how it would affect load times.
I've set them back to the higher settings again now, will see if I run into any problems.
hehe i lost my first two games, and they were both in a row! First due to the other guy have just the rite tactic to stop me, and the other because i was distracted by random shit.
I would do something like that if I could even play the game. Still can't get it to run. Hopefully Blizzard e-mails me back quick, the forums didn't have any solutions that worked for me.

the biggest bug is that i cant post in the sc2 forum... so all the bugs i find i will have to email in another way... so far i had my scvs stuck between stuff, lots of problems with windows in the menu, joining games is unstable. especially when ur in a party up for 2v2s.
Nothing specific really but I seem to be best with the Zerg so im usually playing as those. I'll add you on battle.net, can't really play today though. Going out soon.
Yep. Terran player = Always invisible ship thing. What´s a good counter for those?
As zerg? Somewhat difficult if the player is good, but banshee rush is usually a noob strat anyways.
What you should aim for with most zerg builds is quick tech to Lair and then evolve a few Overseers to hang around your base. Put 2-3 spore crawlers around your minerals for added protection. That applies to all races. Unless you have excellent scouting you NEED turrets/spores/cannons around your minerals to keep a small muta/banshee/void ray pack from tearing your economy to shreds.

I usually do that to the people i meet aswell. Send in a shitload of zerglings and let them wreck havoc on their builders. If it works, i´ve won the game. If it doesn´t i know I´m usually very very fucked.
Sometimes I also hit them with a small force from the front and kite them around for awhile.... MEANWHILE back in their base I build a nydas worm full of banelings. BABOOOOOM.
The game is fun although I hate the fact that i lose 70% of the time.

Did you try that cancellation yourself? Or you are just saying. =\
But we're still crunching hard at work and I probably won't get home till after 11 tonight. Bah.
I haven't had a good RTS in ages.

yea me too
Wow I've never seen anything like that.... is your graphics card really bad or something? haha

I guess I'll have to sharpen my skills in StarCraft until it comes out. Unless, of course, nothing from that transfers over to the new one.
What's the error that you get?
YAY!
Time to install and create an account. brb
