Windows 7 has issues with Broodwar.

I go back and play the campaign every few years. Never got into the competitive side.

The legacy SC1 SC2 projects are really great, though, so it'll soon be deprecated.

I can run it on Windows 7 without any problems using ChaosLauncher.

no, it wouldn't

shift-pressing a ctrl group just adds the current units to said control group, doesn't select multiples

the best way to combine them using just control group hotkeys to, say, 1, is to hit 2 shift+1 3 shift+1, which means that 1 now contains all the units formerly in 1 as well as the units in 2 and 3

just got around to reading this

Anyone want to mindlessly grind Insane AI with me? I'm out of easy achievements to grind unless I wanna Random league, which, contrary to my prior claims, is a little low for me so far.

That, or figure out Left 2 Die. DRK and I couldn't manage Hard, though we (or at least I) didn't see the other ledge... ^^;

Left 2 Die is easy.

If you're on anything other then max difficulty all you do is mass Marine / Medic get every upgrade and just overrun everything with mass marines. It's dirt simple and easy.

If you're on Night 2 Die then you wall off with Planetary Fortess behind your chokes (2 of them at the main entrances and 1 at each of the smaller ones) put 1 bunker and 3 missle turrets on the ledges above each enterance (Research concussive shell and put 1 marauder and 2-4 marines in each bunker), leave 2 scvs by each PF and 1 by each bunker with auto repair on. Also build 1 bunker and 2 missile turrets behind your mineral line, research the bulding armor upgrade first at the Eng. Bay then max infantry weapons and once you have tanks max vehicle weapons). One player researchs the building upgrades, the other saves for seige tanks.

Completely Ezpz.

I never quite put 2-and-2 together re: starting with PF. That would indeed make it extremely easy.

All the fancy mobs messed us up on Hard. We lost most everything when the first Stank came, and then had almost nothing for the 2nd one.

I'll still watch the VODs and read the hype pieces but other than that, its meh to me now.

Otolia · Post Post #1161 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:32 am

In Left 2 Die, you had to build reapers. That way you can crush buildings during the day. After that firebat medic are the best combat and missile turret as anti air

TheButtonmen · Post Post #1162 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:43 am

Or you could just make marines.

We were too addicted to fancy bunkers and fancy reactors to get reapers. They were imba in the WoL scenario, though.

Only concern was that i think all the fancy units are armored.

DeathRowKitty · Post Post #1165 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:06 am

Fancy bunkers and fancy reactors are sexy.

Spoiler: New Maps

I only actually know 1v1 maps, but the maps they removed freed up 2 of my vetoes (I think it freed up at least 2 of every zerg's vetoes...), which is good, since, from what I've heard, I'll need them for the new maps. Kind of strange seeing that Metalopolis was removed though. If they'd gotten rid of Backwater Gulch instead (which is a much less popular map), I'd have all my vetoes free again.

Nocmen · Post Post #1167 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:42 am

Ugh, WTF. At least they got rid of scrap station, but yea, Metalopolis removal hurts. And I must be one of the few people who liked Slag Pits. Can't remember which one Delta Quadrant is though.

Edit: Okay, I'm neutral towards Delta Quadrant and Slag Pits. Couldn't they have taken out Backwater Gulch instead of Metalopolist?

AGar · Post Post #1168 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:48 pm

I guess I'm in the minority being glad that Metalopolis is gone. From a viewer perspective I'm sick of the map pools not rotating, partially because ladder maps don't rotation with any frequency that is decent.

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #1169 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:51 pm

Ok. I am finally playing SC2. I just played In Utter Darkness last night, that level is friggin' epic.

I'll check back in when I get decent again. It's been far too long, and I haven't played MP yet.

xRECKONERx · Post Post #1170 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:52 pm

I liked Scrap Station due to lolislandbases as Terran

ReaperCharlie · Post Post #1171 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:54 pm

Wait. The Metalopolis one is gone?

And I never even got to play it. Boo.

UltimaAvalon · Post Post #1172 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 1:15 pm

Its not being removed, just taken out of the ladder pool

Claus · Post Post #1173 (ISO) » Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:08 pm

Reason for removing metalopolis: Not enough rocks.

UltimaAvalon wrote:Its not being removed, just taken out of the ladder pool

That´s what they said. I´m not holding my breath.

Anyway, why

remove

¨take out¨ such a popular map when they have much worse in there?

Also I personally liked Scrap. Might not be the best of maps, but it was DIFFERENT.

Otolia · Post Post #1174 (ISO) » Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:59 am

Metalopolis has a serious balance problem (close position), plus it's one of the oldest map and honestly not the most fun to play at all.

Slag Pits, Scrap Station and Delta Quadrant had to be removed. They are all utterly stupid.
