StarCraft

You had to know it was coming.

I've recently started playing again. For being released in 97 or 98 I still think this game owns any of the WC that are out there now. I played WC3 for a while... but, it just didn't have the same effect on me that SC had.

So who plays?
If you play online, feel free to msg me. I play on the US East server and my screen name will be Pieless.

You can also discuss your favorite race, strategies, maps, use map settings games, and whatever else.

So... discuss.

My SC name is Pomale and I play on US West. Can someone from the West Coast evn go on US East? I never tried it.

I play this game, probably my favorite RTS ever. I play online infrequently, thanks to the fact that I have a 56k, one internet-equipped computer in my house, and five family members to share it. Well, my favorite race would be Zerg...I haven't played with anything but them in at least a year. I usually play on the Fastest map ever maps(that are all like, hacked and have a ton of stacked minerals. you know them) and I just either go with most other Zerg players out there and rush with Hydras, or just choose some other unit to rush with. Since Zerg are for rushing.

Yes. You can switch the server you want to play on by simply clicking and connecting. You would have to register the nick you use on the US East server as nick's don't transfer.

EDIT: Zerg is my favorite as well. I don't play on fastmaps because they become boring. It's just mass-rush. Rush-mass. I get tired of it. I like the strategy of the reg sc maps. The Lost Temple being my favorite.

My best class is the Protoss and I tend to play the modified map settings and regular strategic maps...

The ONLY problem with the normal games is that 70% have BS'ers (backstabbers).

If you play ladder games there are no allies and you can only play on regular maps, so that takes away the threat of BSers.

I--did not know that.

I'd get on and play now, but unfortunately I packed away Starcraft because we're moving soon.

Starcraft is well and good, possibly the best RTS game ever made (so far...). That being said, the engine it is based on is outdated and ugly. While I don't like Heros and stuff, WC3 is what I play today...

I also hate this stupid upkeep crap.

Outdated and ugly is an understatement.

However I still find myself logging on to see if I can rush with zerglings and muties faster than I did last time.

I think my record for killing someone with just rushed 'lings(not on a stacked map) was a somewhere between 3-5 minutes...I can't remember too well.

I usually try to get the speed upgrade for the lings as or before I am rushing.

I go for that one, the speed attack upgrade, and at least one attack upgrade...usually I have all three of those done by the time my opponent is dead.

yeah.. i played it a lot for a couple weeks.. then i lost interst... but i was protoss and i was ok.. not great. i actually forget my stragtegy but it was definitwly a great rts.. i also like red alert 2. good game

Tried playing it once or twice... all I know is that there are a bunch of asians playing it.. =o
