As I already stated, the reason I failed a mission was due to the fact I wasn't quite sure what Kerrigan's swarm thing did until most of my bunched up banshees were gone, so in fact that had nothing to do with build orders it was just my own fault because I had to take care of a nydus worm on the upper side. In the end the game coems down to defending yoru abse and sending out your mercenaries to finish everything, a full force of mercenaries in the game is all you need to wipe out everything on any mission, though it is a bit slow with such few units. Also, the last mission is also a pure defend mission, you just have to send out some banshees to kill the nydus worms and you are good (or build awesome AA and then you dont even have to leave the base if you went that route).

I really don't see how trashing a game is any different than praising it as the best thing ever, I would love to hear your explanation as to how it is different though.

Funny, I managed to not have that be an issue while fighting off the Mutalisk and Broodlord swarms which is much harder way to do it. Further why waste Banshees on an attack? Yamato Cannon the Nydus worms. Send a couple of Science Vessels if you are worried about losing them. Also waiting for Mercenaries is a good way to die since they don't come in for the first 5 minutes. On the easier difficulties this might not be an issue, but it is for people who wanted a challenge.

There is a simple difference in that you have nothing to add at all. You don't like the game. Good for you. Why are you here then? This is for people to talk, discuss, trade strategies, and what not. None of this should have the slightest interest to you since you claim the game is not worth playing single or multiplayer. So why are you here to talk about something you aren't going to play ever again? Makes no sense.

Further you have a history of lying and exaggerating when you want to slam the game. You claimed during Beta to have gone from Copper to Platinum in a week AFTER copper was removed. You claimed the game required an always on internet connection despite the proof of that being wrong being available in Beta (in fact I have spent most of my time playing off line). Now you claim to have this wonderful Achievement collection showing how awesome you are, but no profile linked.

In short, you have lied to slam the game in the past, and it looks like you are doing it again. That does nothing but detract from an otherwise peaceful conversation.

I picked to kill off the air, I had no science vessels but I did have ravens with autocannons which rocked. The perdition turrets are also absolutely broken, have 3 or 4 set up at each entrance to the base and anythign that isnt an ultralisk gets fried immidiately. I used banshees because of the stealth and the speed, by the time the BC got to the nydus worm they already spawned more waves than I would have liked. So stealthed banshees it was and a big force of them too. They also really decimate ground forces if you have their upgrade that does damage behidn the primary target.

I had absolutely no problems waiting for mercenaries to go out and kill things, the only time I did have a problem was the mission where you had to build up your army and save the soldiers. thankfully nothing really happens in the first 5 minutes of that mission so I just spared a tank and some marines/bats/medics to collect the troops. Also if you land a viking it also works for the ones that are mostly air.

I have yet to see anythign that you said being mentioned here, in fact the very first mention of something being "added" liek strategies are very cursory remarks about people's favorite start on the 2nd page, not even how to pull it off. Everything else was just praise, which is no different at all than just trashing.

Furthermore, while I exaggerate a lot I do not lie. The copper to plat was perfectly valid. I did start off in copper, after some of the placement restarts I ended up in the old gold league, new plat. I also managed to stick around there for a while before the next restart. As for why it was posted late, have you not realized I'm banned for half the time? Maybe, just maybe, I play some games and things occur while I'm banned. Just something to think about.

If you are going to have an "Official" thread you should be able to handle both positive and negative talk. If you just want positive talk then name it "Starcraft II Circlejerk Thread."
