    I'm trying to figure out if I should buy this

    I got a free trial with my new video card and I really enjoyed the single player

    I wanted to get a little more experience before I got assraped by some zurg player

    but my time has run out and now I can't fly around the galaxy anymore

    is this worth fifty bucks if I'm only mediocre at strategy games?

    I think the campaign alone is worth $50, also the map editor rivals that of LBP.

    And there's no reason why you have to stay mediocre!

    It's pretty much guaranteed that there will be worse players than you.

    And if you enjoy it and play a bunch, you will improve drastically.

    Oh yes, you were probably playing a placement match with the purpose of figuring out what league you belong in. After you get placed you will be matched with people around your skill level.

    Pretty sure I never should have been placed in 2v2 gold but god damn if every partner of mine tonight shouldn't have been either.

    Yess more people to craft with.

    Hey, Stig we should play some time. I need to play some good Zerg players and steal any good ideas you may have.

    I guess that kind of goes for everyone else as well. I'm almost always up for a game or two when I'm online, and would eventually like to learn how to play the other two races fairly well. Doesn't matter which league you're in.

    no, I have not played multiplayer at all yet

    I was too infatuated with the singleplayer campaign and am also a coward

    but really

    I enjoyed walking around the ship to do upgrades and such

    reminded me a lot of another spacefaring strategy game the name of which eludes me now

    Well you can't place into diamond....
    So you may be playing with people below you skill level for a while.
    Other than that I wouldn't know what you're talking about.

    So, how does one deal with a baneling wall bust if you know it's coming? I get the wall-off up as fast as possible to prevent the zergling rush, but since I'm using supply depots as part of the wall, they just wait a bit, blow it up with a set of banelings, and run through anyway.

    So early game, you build up a nice force to push with, and you run into an army much stronger than your own. What do you do?

    That's when you need to go back to the replay and see how things got that way.
    Having a smaller army isn't a bad thing if you're in a better economic situation and you're capable of holding them off and delaying them.

    Yeah or a factory.

    Also, has anyone tried installing to multiple computers? Does Blizzard allow you to do that so long as you don't use both at the same time?

    Just got my 100-win 1v1 Terran achievement today. After an aggravating zergling+roach rush that blew through my wall and defenses because I spent too much time teching up (and led to me smashing my keyboard and breaking one of its support legs), I decided to go gasless on the next match. SCVs, supply depots, barracks, marines, more SCVs, more depots, more barracks, more marines. No tech labs, no reactors, just building more and more and more marines until I was driving marines into his base for the win. Eventually had like 8 unteched/unreactored barracks up. Just because it was Scrap Station and I was growing impatient with 2-base maps.

    oo that will be fun

    i actually did pretty decent in one of those types of games with my much better friends because they started killing each other and i survived and amassed a huge army and killed some dudes

    which was ok until my friend came by with mass void rays and i did not have good anti air

    The best counter to mass void rays is to not allow them. That's why they dominate practice league.
