I didn't read all the pages, but, am I the only one to think that the spine crawler is the most awful building ever? I mean, his "tongue" is so thin in comparison to BW and it doesn't even attack by passing through the ground which make the attack look really ugly and imagine 5 of these attacking a Terran rush.

I kinda agree with the majority of the people about LAN, yea the LAN in it's original state will probably not be a part of SC2. However they did remove it because of features from BatteNet 2.0 so Bnet will probably have some super duper features LAN like features instead so it doesn't really matter. Don't complain until Blizzard has revealed BattleNet 2.0

New topic besides LAN...

Why not make the game mechanics an option? For example, if you want to play SC2 as SC2 is right now, good for you. But, what about the people that don't want MBS or unlimited unit selection or smart cast, but want a game more similar to BW? Just make an option to choose how you want to play right? I do not understand game programming much at all so I do not even know if this is possible, but it would be a nice addition as the current build of SC2 looks too "user friendly".

I am not sure if I explained the idea enough... but I will try to answer any questions you might have for what I mean.

Me too. It also actually make sense in all situation unlike BW version, where the tongue could magically apear on different space platform over a huge space gap...

I hadn't even thought of it that way, but that's a perfect justification for it

Nukes cost no supply and build very quickly for a very low cost. I expect them to be used somewhat effectively. You still have time to dodge a nuke but to me it seems like they come just a tad faster then in SC1. Happy Nuking!
So wait? I'm bad? =(

I feel incredibly underwhelmed. If Bnet 2.0 is not absolutely SPECTACULAR when they finally reveal it's features, I'm gonna - well I'm gonna... I'm gonna write an angry post on tl. Fuck it.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Sounds like you are setting a great example for your kids.

Let me make this clear: I have 2 kids which are well provided for and will have no problem buying a legit SC2 box to play on Bnet. This isn't the problem.

While it doesn't completely surprise me most of the mods here have to hush hush the QQ about no LAN, tell me: how in the hell is bnet 2.0 going to allow LAN play without logging into a centralized server, thus requiring an internet connection?

I'm not sure how I have to spell it out, but this does not help any gaming community.

Basically, if your internet goes down, or you just don't have a connection where you're situated, or ICS isn't enabled to let you log on bnet, or there's any kind of network problem on your LAN: tough shit, you can't play SC2.

Now I can see how fgt azn moderators who aren't old enough to drink alcohol or have grown pubic hair yet are going to be proud to bend over and take it (not targeting anyone particularly) but myself being 20 years old OVER 10 (what 9000?) YEARS AGO and actually enjoying the happy times when developers didn't literally shit on their fanbase, I have a problem with it. Is it that big a deal?

God forbid some gamers out there still have some sort of spine (insert spine crawler joke)

Lastly, being admin for a political forum that welcomes everything from neonazis to communists (it's quite entertaining), if you think you can get rid of me with your ridiculous IP bans, good luck. I have a feeling you will get tired before I do.


You are 20 years old and have 2 kids? Must suck being them.

I think he means he's 30 ("[I was 20 10 years ago]"), but if he's 30 and still writes like that he's got worse problems than being 20 and having two kids.

smart casting is when you have several units of the same type selected and cast selected spell, all off them wont cast it at the same time, only the first one in the stack will cast it, so you dont have to select all units individual units one of the other and cast it

im also pretty positive that the new bnet somehow will just auth you with the server and then you can go through the LAN options, since its super NDA there gotta be a massive bunch options yet to be revealed
