The problem I'm having right now is connecting to b.net, it keeps saying that I need to re-install which I'm trying now. So once I get that up I should be good to go! I'll try and stream it, but the resolution in BW is kinda funky and I'm not sure how to fix it... :/ Anyways, thanks and gl hf, OverZero  | ||

 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=207704 TL;DR: play Protoss. Also, most competitive players play on the ICCup server. You have to download the client and the registry key. Regarding the color issue: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86258¤tpage=4 | ||

Diamond toss who now wants to play some BW (with the exception of my RTS history involving WC 1-3) Send me a pm if you want to practice sometime! I would really like to play some BW with people of my skill in BW (i.e almost non existent) Edit: To answer the question above me. I had a similar problem. Don't use the Bnet registration. Sign up on Iccup first, then use those same log in credentials to get online onto the Iccup server | ||

Yeah, the bug has existed for a loooong time... If you try to register through BW, you'll always get an account already taken error. Register from iccup.com. | ||

How is that a bug? That's 100% what they intended lol. It's to discourage people from making a million IDs | ||

I hope you can host though. And I think you have to change your port openings...I think it's 6112 or something. you can make a custom firewall port option(cant remember the name) so it allows you to join and host games. | ||

But, in my spare time I have really come to enjoy and appreciate Brood War, and because of that I have decided to try and teach myself how to play. Since SC2 was my first RTS game I don't really have much experience. I'm high diamond right now in SC2 and play protoss. In BW I'm not sure what race to play, though I do like terran. I'd gladly take any tip/pointers from you guys as I'm sure you're much more knowledgeable than I am. My feelings toward BW -> SC2 transition and what race you play are fairly dependent on your playstyle (which isn't ALWAYS the case, before someone chimes in). It's actually kind of natural to play SC2 Protoss and switch to Terran in BW, because the "standard" playstyle in both is to amass a huge, unstoppable deathball and overwhelm your opponent. It generally goes like this: BW Terran -> SC2 Protoss (slow-push deathballs) BW Zerg -> SC2 Terran (lots of aggression, similar casters) BW Protoss -> SC2 Zerg (Harassment focused early/mid-game in to many unit producing structures, uses almost the entire tech tree) Again, this is not to say this is the way the world works and that's how you're going to do it or how anybody did it (IdrA went from BW T -> SC2 Z), and not everyone had those playstyles. I have a huge inspiration from Boxer and Iris, both of which played an extremely aggressive BW Terran. I'm finding I like Protoss (after going BW T -> SC2 T) a lot now, because I have the option of slowpushes, but I want to start incorporating drops/blink stalker/warp-ins similar to the way you could be aggressive with T in BW but still had the option of leap-frogging to your opponents base with MM+Tank or heavy metal (vulture/goliath/tank). But as a kind of a general rundown, the above should hopefully help you a little bit in deciding which race to play. | ||

brood war is all about playing a solid game. sc2 in mid master and below is all about holding off cheese, 1 base pushes, etc. it's tooo broad and way too hectic in sc2. sc1 is all about mechanics, how tight your build is, micro, and execution. | ||
