General Game Discussion 2 - Page 7

Every pro team started practicing SC2 on the side and most of them blew through the leagues without knowing anything at all, lol. Goes to show how good they are mechanically.

Expect them to start rolling through people after 1 or 2 seasons.

Haha, take a look at this game. Seeker missles ftw!

So I've ordered this game and it should arrive this week. I loved the original Starcraft, so got high expectations.

Going to shake off the rust in the campaigns before I event think about battle.net.

Really enjoying the HOTS campaign. Close to the end, crazy stuff happening. Anyone else?

The units in the campaign are still souped up, lol. You can literally go Muta/raptorling almost every mission and kill everything. And to be honest, they seemed to have made the campaign much easier than WoL. They dumbed things down for sure, larvae spawned from hatches super quick, no need use Overlords as units at all and the scenarios themselves were easier.

I still found both campaigns very enjoyable to play.. I've just stopped caring about what happens at all. SC2's writers just don't seem to understand the original characters. Seriously, play through the original game or watch all the story on Youtube. SC2 took a dump on that. WoL had some good moments but HotS story and especially the dialogue, has been unbearable.

Raynor is the biggest disappointment to me in SC2. I loved him and Fenix in SC and BW but now he seems to have forgotten all about Fenix and everything that happened in the first games.

So far SC2 has basically just been a love story between Raynor and Kerrigan. I agree with you, so many of the key characters from the originals have just kind of fallen by the way side.

The campaign is easier than WoL but the missions are fun (27 of them, no mini-campaign, no secret missions). Unique upgrades for units can be chosen every level, so you can adapt, one of the flaws from WoL campaign was that you couldn't switch upgrades after buying them. If you liked WoL's story, you'll probably still like this, but they clearly took the story in a whole different direction from Brood War. I believe Chris Metzen is the only writer who has worked on both the original and sequel. It shows.

For $40, it's worth it from a gameplay perspective. The new units change up multiplayer and the campaign has replay value. They pretty much added a type of "new game plus" where you get the best possible units and Kerrigan abilities for whatever missions you choose.

Void Rays and Widow Mines are OP at the moment. Zerg still dominating high levels though.

hi, quick question here. my achievements have been disabled because i used a cheat a while ago, but i don't know how to get achievements back. they said to "start a new game" but i already tried that.
