EPTTested and confirmed. If the queen dies while the projectile is midair, the projectile will hit and produce a green poison cloud, but the target will not die and no broodlings are spawned.

I forget... didn't SC2 get rid of Fastest? | ||

even in like 2006 when every single player on bnet played on fastest, blizzard refused to change the ladder speed because they believed the game was better on fast.  | ||

But blizzard insisted on "Fast" as their ladder game speed, and consequently there was like a year-ish where competitive standards weren't totally established and some would play fast and some fastest back then. even in like 2006 when every single player on bnet played on fastest, blizzard refused to change the ladder speed because they believed the game was better on fast. I'm not certain I'd that. Maybe the game really was 'better' on Fast/more in-line with Blizzard's design intent at that speed. But if many ppl don't want to play at that speed, you can't really make 'em. Not forever, anyway. I remember a lot of younger players 'back in the day' saying stuff like, "I love Starcraft, but man, nothing happens for the first 4 minutes, I'm soooo bored early on." Apparently, working a very specific BO, scouting, stopping THEIR scouting, constructing wall-ins, doing or defending super-early rushes, yeah, none of that registers. So, you pretty much HAVE to 5-pool 'em after they say that.  | ||

I can't confirm or deny this but fastest isn't that, well, fast lol. | ||

And for a 90's RTS it was pretty fast, compare it to the speed of Total Annihilation or Red Alert for example. | ||

Just commenting on the overall speed of fastest from my perspective ya, TA was slower in comparison. I think same for RA, but don't remember it well lol. | ||

I can't confirm it, and I was hanging out on the Blizzard Starcraft forum for like a couple of years prior to release and for a couple of years after. I think they were surprised that Fastest became almost the only speed anyone would play (though you could find some games on Fast or Faster too). I think a lot of ppl just gravitate to whatever is seen as the most EXTREEEEEEME, lol. Probably if Blizzard had put in a speed called 'Hyper' that was 3x faster than Fastest, a lot of ppl would play it, maybe even insist on it. Their micro and macro would then suck donkey lint, but they'd play it. | ||

My only memories from back then is when I typed in "power overwhelming" on b.net and expected it to work. And constant backstabbing in 2v2; if you had the stronger army than your ally when you had almost won, it was more or less standard to unally at the last second and have the win for yourself. | ||
