Starcraft

[Slick]

I have Starcraft and the add-on "Starcraft: Brood War" installed on my computer. I would say that it is worth playing the various campaigns. It's also very fun to play multiplayer, but I'm not sure about the status of the Online community. When it was new, the various places to play Online were overrun with cheaters and kids who liked to gang up on the new players. Some co-workers of mine still occasionally play Starcraft via "LAN party". I'd recommend at least checking it out. As said before, there are 3 distinct races to play and each is very different. Although I think they are well balanced, there is not a 1-for-1 matching of various units, capabilities, structures, etc.

Slick.

Wow. OK so something that highly-touted is well worth my time I'd guess!

Install it, I shall. And thank you all, I do.

I played Star Craft also. I played Humans and those aliens through. Monsters I didin't accomplish (my interest stopped before I played all races through). At the end, it was a good game, but biggest problem was that at the end it went into clicking feast. Like so many other "real time" strategy game (MOO3 combat, Dune Emperor and hundred other games).

Having some special abilities on units (like Wraiths with cloacking) are no use if you have no time and place to use them properly. Despite its flaws, it is definately worth trying.

Grrrrr.. Now I got the urge to play Starcraft,.. grrrr..

David can be seen rumaging through his bookshelves in order to pull out his starcraft box... What? No CD in the box,.. grrrr.. David moves over to his CD storage racks,.. a quick scan of the side labels and he finds his precious Starcraft CD Woohooo!,.. Urika!

NOTE: Any delays in SE5 production are now on your head... LOL just kidding. But Starcraft is definately one of the 'Great' RTS games out there. Makes Warcraft look like Bantha PooDoo.

Cheers!

That's one of the big features of my SST map. There, you can regularily see effective task forces of less than 5 or 6 units. Give them a group number, remember the hotkeys for their abilities, and you're set.

I play this in teams on multiplayer with a bunch from work, typically I play Terran, which can be very effective defensively and the others play Zerg or Protoss. I defend all three bases and they attack. Its very effective( both the strat and the game) at relieving AWS (After Work Stress).

Its a cool game and definately worth playing especially if you can get a friendly group together.
