Default Starcraft 2

Hehe sorry for posting this but I am curious to know if any of you guys play Starcraft. I am in Starcraft 2 beta right now and I'd like to play with some of you guys.

We can 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, or 4v4! Just playing for fun

I was Diamond (Plat was highest then) Rank 1 in 1v1 before reset. Zerg ftw

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about:

It is the sequel to the most famous RTS in history.

I couldn't get into Starcraft. I'm more a C&C / AoE / Civ / Total War player. I could never counter the Zerg rush when I started playing RTS and it frustrated me away from the series.

I'm keeping a loose ear to the ground on the 2nd one. May give it another try. How's the beta shaping up? Balanced?

Beta is pretty balanced Zerg were underpowerd until today actually they got a pretty big buff across most of their units.

The zerg rush is easily countered now as the maps are a tad bigger and the zerglings take longer to build.

Rojerlockless@yahoo.com is my beta key email. I'm Diamond 4v4 and 2v2 and gold 1v1 Toss player. although honestly i havent played much 1v1 in a while im sure i'd do better since the wipe.

Kuro: The game itself is shaping up nicely. It's addicting so be careful =D
You should give it another go because SC2 is MUCH easier than SC1.

Rojer: Thank you sir I will add ya! It would be cool to make a CBRFORUM team for lolz.

ZMD: If it was your favorite game your going to love SC2. It'll feel like home again =P


The downside to SC2 right now is Battle.Net 2.0. Hands down, Battle.Net 1.0 is much better. But the game itself is fun.

When SC first came out, all the n00bs went zerg cause they didn't have to think. I could beat em but it just got frustrating playing the same game over and over again. Kinda like when someone only knows the Turtle strategy in other games.

I'll give it a go when its released. RTS sucks on consoles. RA3 has collected dust since I bought it. Got a nice poster tho



My girlfriend even let me get it framed
