I love zergling baneling

it is all i need ;)


All you need even for late game? :D

well, you just find my weakness lol

Indeed, I like to let my oponenet survive so some time, I dont push enought with my zergling /baneling strat even if I could and, at the end ... I lose :(

I m not enought serious at some point. I m lacking macro too ! so much to learn

Yea, you should try to end the game early when going ling/baneling. Your tactic is strong on maps where there are no ramps, like Kulas Ravine, and Scrap Station and such. When there is a ramp, trying to ling/baneling push vs protoss or terran becomes harder. If you manage to break in, sneak a few banelings into his workers, they can do some insane damage to mineral lines.

Just keep playing and study replays, and you'll eventually get better :)



I LOVE ICELAND!

I don't want to sound stupid, but what is 6 pooling?

Ling rush without making any drones at the start - just saving up and going straight for the spawning pool and 6 lings.


Still doesn't make any sense to me as I haven't gone beyond the campaign unfortunately..... I assume this is a zerg tactic and is similar to a warthog rush in Halo Wars?

Yeah I guess. I never warthog rushed anyone in Halo Wars though >>

Well the Warthog rush does normally involve upgrading Warthogs first... and rarely works. I only occasionally built them, and then just drove them to the enemy and let them destroy them to free up sace for more Hawks... But Starcraft II is far more complicated than that

I succeed a big push in a turtled protoss base. Destroyed 3 canon on the ramp but lost most of my unit and the rest was protected by 2 other photo cannon.

so I waited to have something else.

I then spoted the stargate (VOID RAY !), made another queen to protect a bit the base and switched .................................. muta / corruptor ... at the place to go hydra !

I harrased to worker line, killed serval void ray, thought I would win !
but I finally lost the battle when he decided to go out with a bigger voidray force and anihilate my base with their terrific "charge mode"

Mass Marine -> Marauders, build some early Hellions for early containment, then seige tanks and medivacs.  Depending on how that fares, either expand and keep up with the same pattern (with a few Thors thrown in for anti-air), or turtle and tech up to respond to whatever they're throwing.  I love the salvageable bunkers though: makes containment/base defense a little easier, even if bunkers are less worthwhile than in the original.

I hate when Terran goes mass M&M tanks. I get steamrolled every time by it :(

During the beta, I was one of the vocal people who were screaming for a marauder nerf.

So what do u guys think of the game? Im not mean singleplayer because multiplayer is the only thing that counts in RTS.

the campaign from a gameplay perspective is  very good, each level has a unique twist meaning no two levels are exactly the same. Add in the out of mission tech upgrades and research elements as well as Blizzard style CGI cinematics and you have a great experience and one of the best RTS campaigns ever. Or it would be if the story wasn't a bit flat, not bad for an RTS (probably one of the better) but after the original not a lot happens that you aren't expecting but it does set up what could be a very interesting campaign. You should get 8-14 hours out of it depending on your skill/difficulty and whether you try and do everything in one play-through. There is also an arcade machine with a scrolling shooter deliciously called the lost Viking.

lol

But yea the multiplayer from what I have played is very good there are no real serious unbalances and the matchmaking is generally good and there are plenty of people at all skill levels to play ATM. The only real problems come from the region locking (especially if you are stuck in the SEA (south east Asia) region like me lol) and the custom game system which will hopefully be fixed soon. All in all  if you liked Starcraft or even Warcraft 3 multiplayer you will not be disappointed unless you live in SEA and are mainly interested in custom maps.
