Loading someone else's replays.

Is it possible? Or was Blizzard too smart for that?

If it's not, guess I'll be spending a longass time playing through on Brutal since I'm pretty meh at SC2.

Most certainly not with replays. What you could try is grabbing someone's saved games and load a state just before finishing an achievement, where it shouldn't be too hard to do the last bit of work.
However, it wouldn't be too hard for Blizz to bind savestates to accounts. In that case you would have to decrypt the save file format and change somestuff to make the save file match your account.

Anyways, at the very least you'll get mechanically better and more comfortable with the game controls if you spend a lot of time with the campaign. It won't help you too much for multiplayer, but at least a bit.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I got my friend's save file to complete the 8 hour game achievement. You can load someone else's save file but you actually have to do the achievement (obviously).

Isn't it kinda cheap getting achievements this way :o Any satisfaction I get from having achievements is knowing I actually did them.

Seems really kind of lame. The point of achievements is they give you a goal -- they're not even really that difficult. No sense in "cheating" your way through them. =/

No one will think you're a badass for these achievements; don't take the potential satisfaction away from yourself.

I think you can load a friends replay if you want. but whats the point of not doing it yourself. Plus, its single player....

so you have a friend save right before the very end, load and complete, if I'm getting this thread right.

sounds brilliant. also lame lol. achievements really are for self satisfaction. play brutal on your own. you'll get better at multi in the process :D

My bad, should have specified that in my first post. I meant saved points.

I just don't think replaying Supernova on Brutal 50 times until I beat it will make me much better at multiplayer, it will just get me frustrated at the game which will make me play worse. I have decent effective APM in multiplayer, it's just that I haven't really played enough (during beta) to have all the builds, etc. down.

I just want pretty avatars Like I said, if I ended up playing long enough to get these achievements I'd probably just be raging at the game until I got lucky. Most of the brutal campaign missions are just lucky/gimmicky half the time anyways.



But whatever. If anyone wants to post a bunch of saved games right before the finish all of the levels on Brutal, I'm sure you'd be considered a God among many.


And just for the record, I've already beaten 9 of the missions on Brutal. (As of now, got the game on Thursday )

Could you upload that? Or perhaps someone else?

Supernova on Brutal. There's some sound issues, but if that's the mission you're struggling on it should be able to help.

Playing it on Brutal is more a matter of thinking about the level in the correct way, and being able to plan - this kind of critical thinking does help in multiplayer. What you're saying here is "Can the players who put some effort into doing it on Brutal please give me the same reward?"

I have decent effective APM in multiplayer, it's just that I haven't really played enough (during beta) to have all the builds, etc. down.


If you have the APM, and you're able to manage a base and a build semi-effectively, Brutal should be just fine for you. If you're struggling, Liquidpedia has a guide, there's threads on every difficult level, and plenty of people to ask advice for.

Doesn't work - i saved Utter Darkness @ short before the 2250 mark and send it to a friend. He didn't got the achievement once he got to this mark. Now he already made this on his own.

If you wish to cheat, just download a free trainer from somewhere or learn how to use Cheat Engine.

As an alternative, you could modify the game files and make SCVs with 1000 range and damage, which will easily decimate everything.

Lol... then you don't deserve the achievement. Isn't that kinda the whole point of the system?
