If you are getting jitter change the latency setting to high or extra-high. F10 - O - N - E - O, puts it into extra-high lat mode (or F10 - O - N - H - O for high lat). Being in Australia that setting is common, although these days I put it in high lat and just deal with the tiny jitter instead of extra-high because it allows faster response times. Keep in mind that unlike SCII BW is P2P, so server ping is a rather arbitrary number for determining how much lag there will be. Two NZ guys could both have 600 ping and play each other with low latency just fine. | ||

I have the ports for BW forwarded 6112-19. its really lame Ahh that is another issue with high latency, where the game name gets glitched. It's not an issue with high latency per se, but it seems to happen more often for people with high ping (eg us in australia). You can avoid the problem by /stats when you host a game. If it shows people who arn't actually there (usually people you just played, sometimes other names) then you need to host the game with a different name. It seems we have all sorts of weird problems with lag. I also have a recurring problem where there is some IP incompatibility or something, where there is a group of us, but 2 people just can't get into the same game without massive lag, everyone else can join the game with either one of them and it works fine, but when those 2 are in the same game it becomes unplayable. Sometimes resetting the modem to force an ip switch solves it, but none of us have reliably dynamic IP anymore so we can't just change our IP at will. Australian internet ftl >< | ||

im also considering going back to bw just so i can escape the bs TvP metagame that is sc2, where tanks are so pathetic it saddens my soul. I actually liked it when tosses broke out of my contains, they were so good at finding weaknesses in my set-up and strategically holding out until they had enough to break it. Being wrecked by brilliant engagements made me respect my opponent instead of hating him for being able to do 1-a and demolishing an elaborate contain with a ton of tanks. This alone is mostly why I agree with the "you can lose 200 games and still keep going" post. man, <3 bw | ||

I am happy to help you practise against Protoss. I used to be random anyway haha. I have pretty good muta micro too from playing muta micro maps with friends and religiously doing 2 hatch muta builds, so I can help you with that too  I am currently helping a bunch of SC2 newbies with BW so I could probably hook you up with one of them.Main thing newbies don't do is focus fire on the mutas, and also understanding the "dance" (do the opposite of what the mutas do), and SC2 players are also in the mindset that 1 turret can hold off an entire muta flock, turrets feel like they do about 10% of what they do in SC2 and mutas are a lot stronger at the same time. You also need to cluster your turrets with good positioning so that mutas can't knock em down 1 by 1, not spread them out like you do in SC2. But yeah best to learn one matchup at a time. I don't understand this dance. What's the purpose behind it? | ||

The way we play Terran comes from this 4 guys namely "Boxer" "Nada" "Iloveoov" and "Flash". so find these guys replay or Vod and start practicing!! | ||

I think the more important aspect of dancing marines is making opponents mutas misfire or fly in too deep by making it hard to judge distance and timing of the engagement. If done properly it will keep the marines in formation too. Edit: Annex of self-depreciation. I am just saying this from the perspective of a useless C- zerg. Take it as you will. I'm sure sooner or later a terran will pop in and tell it how it be. | ||

I'm sure sooner or later a terran will pop in and tell it how it be. From my perspective, the idea behind this is that it creates a "all my marines will shoot one of your mutas down or you won't get to attack my marines at all" situation. I watched a few fpvods of pros back when muta harass gave me a lot of trouble (it still does now that I think of it) and you can see they clump the marines together, move forward as the muta stack does, then target fire one of the mutas. When it's done correctly you can pick off a muta everytime (easier if you went for a fast +1 attack upgrade on your marines) and then it becomes quite a bad trade for the zerg. On the other hand if you simply target a muta and let your marines chase it or worse if you attack move, then your marines will get picked off 1,2 or 3 at a time without doing much damage. | ||
