I have a question does anyone know what the SC2 intro music is called? For example, you can hear the music here+ Show Spoiler + | ||

The creep tumor will connect the bases fast, especially if you make a creep tumor with your 2nd queen at your natural. | ||

Anyone feel that Blizzard has been lackluster in the way it communicates with its community. I really want to put it on a higher standard and compare it to Bungie. Now I don't like Halo all that much, not like Starcraft, but I really envy how much Bungie caters to the community in terms of Bungie.net features (stats galore and render replays to HD/SD) and the amount of fan service it puts in its games. It really sticks around for it games (look at the love they gave to Halo 2 - when it went down, it said that anyone who plays Halo 2 on that day will get a special medal etc. in Reach). Really just see how Bungie deals with its fans. Not to say that Blizzard doesn't do a good job. It does an excellent one. BUT IT SHOULD DO BETTER. | ||

I play as random, and most of the games I win are mirror matchups. I guess that's mainly due to my lack of understanding off-race matches. At least with mirrors, you know what your opponent is capable of. ZvZ is a bit trickier though, as you have to play blind. | ||

ive had a fair few 3-4 base macro zvz's where almost all zerg units see some play on the field, as opposed to incessant 2rax and 4gate respectively from the other two races (i'm 1.3k diamond, so thats all anyone does). theres something truly awesome about having the entire map covered in creep from two opposing teams. | ||

If you didn't know, if a roach or hydra is directly next to a unit and attacks it, it will do a melee animation rather than spraying acid or shooting a dart. | ||

The melee animation doesn't count as ranged which is a known bug I believe. Don't know if they will ever fix it though. | ||

Set one up at a choke point and it seems to me you have a very nice high HP blocker. I'm wondering what you guys think of it's use at a competitive level. Also, could a viable cheesy planetary fortress + medivac drop , into someone's base be worked out :D. Not very effective IMO. The lack of any AA associated with it means that 550 mins + 150 gas could be better spent elsewhere. Especially if you lose the CC during production or while the PF is morphing. It's been tried, and in some cases effective, but overall I would have to discourage it. In regards to a PF as an offensive unit, I highly doubt you would have the time to let it complete. And if it doesn't, that's a huge sinkhole for your minerals. Imagine, that's 8 more SCV's you could have produced, or even more units you could have added to your army to attack instantly rather than after a huge morph time. | ||
