lol at starcraft fanboys lol i didnt find starcraft storyline interesting lol how does that affect u lol. If u liked thats cool but by the time i played starcraft it was out for a very very long time and the storyline didnt really get me i beat 1 species story and got bored warcraft was a better storyline for me because of the style of game not graphics i just played final fantasy VII over a few months ago. so graphics cant be an issue lmao. As i said its cuz i got into rts late if i got into them earlier i may have liked starcraft more :P.

And i didnt like how the story went during the game tried to make it futuristic id prefer it like warcraft where they actually talk face to face etc. I liked gameplay but it didnt hook my like WC it aint my fault lol.Ok first off as ppl are lighting you up like an american prostitute in a islamic extremist country, it's all well and good to not take to a game cause its not within the genre (not game genre but rather story type genre) as you clearly prefer mythical fantasy to scifi fair enough. I think what is not helping your case however is how you're coming across. Take for instance what is quoted from you above... you make mention of WC3 (stress this is the THIRD and LATEST insatllment of a *craft from Blizzard, hence the best game engine to date) thus it allowed them to tell the story in a different way or as you put it "face to face". You have to consider that the orignal starcraft engine wasn't designed for the in-game cut scenes as WC3. THus you get BLAZE for making comments that are obviously misaligned. You've just gone from saying I don't like a game because of the theme to I don't like the game cause it doh tell the story the way I like it... thats just stupid... you shoulda just stopped at I prefer fantasy to scifi and that woulda been talk done right there...
. This may be the reason i build myPC in a hurry,
Paris plays host to Starcraft II
South Korea to invade France this summer
By Paul Taylor: Wednesday, 13 February 2008, 10:46 AM
BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT is holding its World Wide Invitational (WWI) right in our back yard, at the Paris Expo - Porte de Versailles. In its fourth year running, the WWI will bring together the top players in Blizzard’s stable of games for a furious 48 hours of gaming, fun and the odd eye gouge or two. The date? The weekend starting June 28th.
This year’s invitational has extra “oomph” as it will also be the stage for the first public outing of both Starcraft II and WoW: Wrath of the Lich King – so expect masses of adoring fans to migrate to their new Mecca – Gay Paree - in no time at all.
WWI also provides Blizzard with much wanted feedback from the community and the opportunity for John and Jane Doe to duke it out with top players from all over the world. Since this is one huge festival revolving around something-Craft, there’ll be live musical performances and even a silent auction (maybe they'll auction off the Ghost-babe artwork).
Expect South Koreans to turn up en masse. The country is home to the largest legion of Starcraft worshippers, TV shows, professional gaming leagues, hysterical groupies and where even the Korean Air Force sponsors a pro team.
This is definite;ly a gpopod mpopove i g;lad tpopo bad
Hope you’ve enjoyed the long read and patiently wait for beta this summer. Just a quick note for those who hasn’t been following, Beta has been officially confirmed for this summer. No exact date has been set yet but its just around the corner. I’m already sweating.
http://www.petitiononline.com/LANSC2/petition.html (http://www.petitiononline.com/LANSC2/petition.html)
they cannot be mc serious. wdmc. so how they gonna play d sc2 leagues in korea, how tournaments gonna run, how will people with no innanet enjoy the game, HAXX???? this is blasphemy!!!!! madness!!!!!
*buys DoWII*
In the long battle between Blizzard's standards and the calendar year, the calendar again came out the loser today with the announcement that the studio's anticipated RTS sequel StarCraft II has been delayed into the first half of 2010.
Blizzard attributed the delay to needing additional time to produce the new version of Battle.net, its online gaming service. Though few details are available on the new portal, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick likened it to Xbox Live in its combination of gameplay and social networking features.
"Over the past couple of weeks, it has become clear that it will take longer than expected to prepare the new Battle.net for the launch of the game," said Blizzard in a statement.
Added the company: "The upgraded Battle.net is an integral part of the StarCraft II experience and will be an essential part of all of our games moving forward. This extra development time will be critical to help us realize our vision for the service."
The shift of StarCraft II does not come as a huge surprise, as some analysts were already predicting the sequel might slip into the next year. Blizzard had previously stated the StarCraft II beta could last from four to six months, meaning that even if the beta had begun in August, it would have left a very tight window for Blizzard to work in.
While affirming the game was planned for release by the end of 2009, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime said in May: "But as always, we won't release it until it meets our standards and the expectations of our players."
Honeslty i've lost all the hype and excitement for this game... Blizzard does DRAG things out to RIDICULOUS levels... GOSH... release the damn game already... and the whole lack of LAN play...WTF... either way if they released this game TOMORROW it would make no diff to me now cause i've just lost interest. Hopefully they'll reignite the HYPE campaign closer to release, however release before Diablo 3 doesn't really even warrant a glance cause MW2 is all I can see.
So true. I can't really care anymore and the fact that you have to buy 3 separate games. booooo!QFMFT!!!
It's good to see SOMEONE is keeping up with this cause I can't remember (other than mathew last post) that this game even existed.... MW2 ftw.
Live gameplay broadcast of the beta here:

iam a dow 2 whoreIf by that you mean ur constantly getting ^&*(ed XD that can't be a good thing lol
Man whoreDefinitely NO comment XD
you know reaper, after watching those vids, I don't know if DoW2 has spoiled me, but that sc2 gameplay looking underwhelming.
Almost a month early, at least one StarCraft 2 copy is loose.
StarCraft II copies are already sneaking into the hands of mouth-breathing nerds, at least overseas.
A video posted on the U.K. web site computerandvideogames.com shows…well, someone cracking open a Collector’s Edition copy of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the Terran campaign of the three StarCraft II games – and then trying unsuccessfully to load it up.
The game isn’t slated to drop until July 28, but early copies could mean pirated versions appearing all over the Interweb.
And we all know what that means: another three years before Half-Life 2 comes out. Er, lower sales for Blizzard.
Video after the jump.
HEV= Huge Erection from Viewing
Anybody who dont buy dis game is GAY, and each day after release u dont own it, your gayness increases by +10, when d meter reaches 100, we are sending this guy for your asssss ->

If I wanna run a LAN sweat by someone, the nightmare to get men who LEGITIMATELY have this game deters me. On the console whether I sweating hard or just playing de ass, I ALWAYS have men to sweat with, Trinis mostly if not totally. I can't see myself having the same experience here.

So wait, this is where the Battlefieldtraitorscrowd gone?
Infidels.
Meanwhile, Cpt ponders the possibility of learning to play rts and pwning noobs.
Still waiting on the sale pitch XD
When games like BFBC2 came out men was preaching and singing high praises to the heavens... I haven't see that yet, I want men bawling and crying how good this game is so that I can be swayed to the 'dark side' yet again XD
1
As a complete noob, i'd HAVE to check the singleplayer to see how it works.
one guy told u some crap bout starcraft split in 3 and dat was enough to drastically change ur take on d game?
I confused. lol
I just hope when allyuh men see allyuh cc it doh have charges for 25 copies of the game...
Well after seeing the ratings on Amazon its split between 1 star and 5 stars but over all it has a 3 star rating an most of the complaints on there is that you only get to play one faction, lack of offline mode, no LAN play and Account problems.*sighs* well it is Blizzactivision after all.... shafter customers is what they do
Starcraft General (http://Starcraft General)
1 faction :S
u can play with all d races online.
d first campain is d terran campain
ppl gay yes.
and lack of offline and no lan, is to stop ppl from pirating d ppl game and playing it multi. cant blame blizzard for dat, its ah pc only release.
half them people on amazon just like yall.. dont own the game and just commenting on what they "disappointed" about...
as i said.. i have the game and aint even touch the SP yet... because the MP alone could keep u occupied.. allyuh buy bc2 because of the SP? lol...
i'll be with the million ppl dat on bnet right now enjoyin the sweats yes... see yall when u get there
I just hope when allyuh men see allyuh cc it doh have charges for 25 copies of the game...
i hate allyuh ... still.. yea ... thats rite...lol
@ capt... thais what we talkin about... learn up and join in the sweats
ah boy, el capitan in the mix!
look trouble now start
but fellas, let me warn alyuh from now. You see Spawn, Phoenix, Messiah and Isme2003? that squad will be the men to beat.

speaking of which games plus in movietowne supposed to get their hard copies today around 3 so i believe.
For those of you who didn't get through yet.
campaign going bess so far.
Anyone finished it yet?
right now, problemslvr is aparantly d man to beat, ask him for some tips, rofl.
Missed the bloody secret mission but say what, some other time when I'm bored for that.Lines like that don't inspire the SP experience... if the game is as gripping as it's supposed to be, then men supposed to be going back to do it ASAP...
The Good
* The advertising and commercials on the in-game TVs make fun of Fox News and Apple
* Varied, interesting single-player missions
* The included game-modding tools make this almost as much a platform as a game
* The achievements reward exploring the game
* The hub areas add flavor to the game
* The tutorials, challenge missions, and text included with Battle.net make jumping into the game easy
The Bad
* The dialog can get a little hackneyed
* The base gameplay is very much StarCraft, for better or worse. The wheel has not been reinvented (you could argue this should go in the Good, or the Ugly)
* The lack of LAN play is a major mistake, and will turn many people off the game
* The way custom games is handled feels clumsy, and intensely limiting
* Splitting up the regions was an annoying decision for those of us with international friends
* The zoomed-in view is frustrating for gamers with large monitors
The Ugly
* The conversation is increasingly centered on LAN play, regions, and the possibility of Activision's influence, not the game inside the politics
Verdict: Buy

I just don't see what is so great about this game. Probably because I've never played a RTSAnd yet we have those 2 genres to thank (predominantly imho) for saving PC gaming :p as there are more ppl playing those on the PC than any FPS on the PC. tsk tsk arc

I absolutely hate the genre...I find it so utterly boring....in the same class as just about any
MMORPG. Good lord...TWO genres that just need to DIE.

DIARY OF A ZERGLING
Day 1
I just got spawned! There was another guy in my egg, though. Not too sure what to think about that. The creep looks pretty cool, I guess. My job is mostly running around the base. Nothing too awesome going on.
Day 2
A whole mess of Zerglings just got spawned recently. Met up with a whole platoon of them. There were so many I couldn't even remember all their names. Most of them are pretty cool, but some are suspicious as to what our purpose is going to be.
Day 3
The queen sent Zergling #21 to a 'watchtower'. Not entirely sure what his job is. According to other people, he just has to stand there all day. Sounds like he got the easy job!
Day 3.5
Zergling #21's corpse was found about 3 minutes after being deployed. He had 5 Gauss Rifle bullets in his chest.
The queen sent Zerglings #22-24 to go to the watchtower.
Day 4
There was much lament for Zergling #21. Some of my friends are saying that we're all in a suicide mission. I think they're wrong. We're soldiers, not expendable beasts.
Day 6
Day 5 was too hectic...there were six more funerals today. The queen declared she wanted some 'scouting information' and that they served their purpose. More skeptics are arising amongst us. Some zerglings are speaking of a revolt.
Day 7
We all got our wings today! Everyone's suspicions of a tyranny are being quelled by the minute. All the zerglings are much more pleased to be moving so much faster.
Day 8
Our entire army has recently received orders to rush into the enemies' base. Our primary objective is to attack SCVs and run around in circles behind other zerglings attacking SCVs.
Day 11
There was a wall.
There was a god damn wall.
We couldn't break through. No matter how many chewed at the supply depot, we couldn't get through the damned thing. We were forced to retreat, losing 7 more soldiers to a small marine force piled behind the depots. The queen had no comment on this matter. The standard funeral is now being postponed by the swarm for 'important measures'.
Day 15
Mutalisks have begun to be trained at the hatchery. Our queen says they will solve the problem that the wall is causing. I can only hope at this point. I've seen too much.
Day 16
We've gotten recent orders to back up the mutalisk force in our impending attack. Our main goal is still hazy to me, as the mutalisks should be doing most of the work...
Day 21
I've lost all faith in the swarm.
Have you ever seen the bits of your comrades fly past you by a single shot of a Crucio Shock Cannon? Have you ever been so close to the heat of an Hellion that it takes you a minute to realize that your best friend is burning alive? I was hearing every tendon snapping and sinew ripping of my fellow Zerglings. The distorted looks on their faces as they realize they've been hit directly in the skull by a sniper round.
I barely escaped. I should be dead; just like the rest of my platoon. It was only me and 6 others that got away. Over 38 died.
We weren't an army. We were a distraction. The mutalisks were in on it, too. They took out probably 10, maybe 20 SCVs. But how many soldiers was it worth? How much do we have to sacrifice to win this war?!
Day 23
We can see the Terran forces coming over the horizon. They are armed with 2 of those infernal tanks and 4 gigantic mechanical monstrosities I've never seen before. I can taste my death.
Day 34
The Terran are toying with us. The tanks lie just outside of our homeland supported by rotating missile turrets in every which way. We are being contained. Our supplies are running low, we will be out of minerals soon.
Day 47
We have lost all of our resources. An army of Hydralisks and Mutalisks stand before me and my 6 Zergling companions. Our final attack is near.
Day 48
The queen has ordered me to 'test the front'. Alone.
Diary of a Siege Tank
Day 48
Spilled some coffee on myself during an attack. My life sucks.
DIARY OF AN OVERLORDhttp://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/374941027 (http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/374941027)
Day 1: Born today at a hatchery. Immediately got orders from the Queen of Blades to head out to the other side of the continent. She told me it could be a while, and recommended that I bring along an iPhone and a ton of batteries.
Day 2: Going as fast as I can. Almost out of view from the hatchery. Watching a movie on the iPhone.
Day 3: Still trucking. Can no longer see the hatchery. Yay. Burning time by trading texts with my overlord buddies.
Day 5: Ran out of batteries already. Nooooooo.
Day 7: Ran into a birth queen spreading creep below me. She was pretty darn cute. Asked her out. Got shot down. Damn. At least she was nice about it.
Day 9: Some zerglings ran by me today. I said hi. They said later fatty, and sped off. Little scrawny pukes.
Day 11: 99 bottles of beer on the wall. 99 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around....
Day 15: Passed over a zealot today. Stared at each other for a while. Pooped some creep onto him for the hell of it. He didn't appreciate it.
Day 15.5: Passed over a few zergling corpses. I think that zealot earlier got those little hotshot pukes. Almost made me regret pooping on him.
Day 18: Ran into that same birth queen from before. She was out of energy, and just chilling at the creep edge, waiting. I joked that we should race sometime on non-creep, and she actually laughed. I think she's warming up to me. Her name is Betty, btw.
Day 21: Should have brought sunscreen. Owch.
Day 27: Had a Romeo and Juliet moment today. Ran into a terran aircraft that had just finished shooting some zergling pukes, but amazingly enough, the terran pilot, she didn't shoot me! We stared at each other for a while, and there was definitely chemistry, I could feel it! Ah, forbidden love.
Day 29: Ran into a few hydralisks who hail from the same hatchery as mine. They told me that terran pilot was most likely flying a banshee, which can't shoot airborne targets. I told them to shut their trap, and that they weren't there to feel the sparks fly. They just hating that I'm better looking than them, and almost as fast.
Day 32: Just got a telepathic text from the Queen of Blades. The Overmind administrators are gonna push out a DNA code update to all overlords tonight. My very first evolution! So excited!
Day 33: Ok. My butthole suddenly got a lot bigger overnight. What. the. hell.
Day 33.5: Temporary detour. Queen of Blades told me to pick up four roaches nearby. I asked her what she meant by "pick up", but she didn't reply back.
Day 34: Ok, I figured out what she meant by "pick up". Four roaches inside me now. You don't want to know how they got in.
Day 36: Dropped off the roaches at the edge of some enemy base. Thank heaven I don't have legs, otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk normally for a week.
Day 37: Oh hell no. Queen of Blades wants me to "pick up" a couple Ultralisks??
Day 37.5: Order canceled. During a skirmish, apparently the Ultralisks got stuck in the middle of a bunch of idiot zergling pukes and got blowed up by terran tanks. Part of me feels bad for the ultralisks. Another part of me can't help but feel relieved. You know which part I'm talking about.
Day 40: Another DNA code patch coming. Not looking forward to it, if the previous evolution was any indication. I just hope they leave my face alone, I like being pretty.
Day 41: Woo hoo! I'm actually fast now, baby! Feeling sleek and sexy, like a Corvette!
Day 42: While jetting around, flew over a couple old zergling acquaintances today. Man, they've evolved badly, they're now fat with giant glowing beer bellies, lmao. Who's slow now, ya little @!**s! One of them was crying pretty hard, saying he would never be able to start a family now. I dunno what he was talking about, maybe he's suffering from PTSD.
Day 43: Covering a lot of ground now. Went looking for Betty, found her. She was impressed by my quickness, and said I could easily take her in a "foot" race now. We laughed at her joke, and about other things too. She is definitely showing interest in me. Awesome.
Day 44: Uh oh, heard an entire lair got taken out by invisible air ships this morning. Emergency DNA code patch coming within the hour. Please, not the face!!
Day 44.5: Whoa, I look pretty gnarly now. A slick purple and black, with a lot more eyes all over the place. Hope Betty likes the new look. I think I look even better now, more exotic and stuff.
Day 45: Betty is totally hot for me now. She wants me to pick her up next week to go to the movies. I said yes, of course. But now I'm having second thoughts, I'm not sure if she knows how my "pick up" mechanism works. Maybe we can just walk together to the movies. Well, I can't walk, but, you know what I mean.
Day 45.5: Got officially promoted, my new title is "overseer". Nice to see my hard work paying off. Betty texted me a grats message, too. What a cool chick.
Day 46: The terrans dropped a freaking nuke onto us today. Queen of Blades sending me to this random corner of our territory. Not sure why. Whatever, looking forward to next week with Betty.
Day 48: Seeing something weird in the distance. It's a terran woman, but she's translucent, somehow. I don't get it. Going in for a closer look, she looks kinda hot from here.
Day 48.5: %!@% %!@% %!@%, I asked the Terran woman for her phone number, and she shot me down. Literally! I'm falling to the ground as I speak, iPhone record function, don't fail me now! Betty, I'm so sorry, this terran woman meant nothing to me, I hope you can forgive me -
DIARY OF A GHOST NAMED NOVA:
Day 48.5: Slow day today. Shot down one of those big ugly Zerg balloons while it gurgled at me. For a moment, I felt like the Zerg thing was checking out my butt, too. Weird.
i want to get ah higher zoom or better FOV for my 30" it sucks to have ah big ass monitor and d game showing d same amount of content as my 13" netbook.Well that's not gonna change, tough love, move on
strangely enough it not as intrusive as it looks tbh. the extra real estate makes up for the bezel, especially in game.
however cinematics look crappy. they dont extend to the full extent of both monitors. still have some more bezel adjustments to try. later on.
how they supposed to pay 88 million dollars? wda
HEHE was now watching some brood war cinematics, any1 remember how much of a hater Fenix was lol, most imba protoss yet imo. True hater to the heart
nice dual Zerk... now u cant get pylon rush dat easy again? lol...
ummm.... what about d FOV with d dual... does it increase it over the 2... or does it center it and u still have to explore out to actually see?
This calls for a battle with us tonight....prepare yourself.. lol
HEHE was now watching some brood war cinematics, any1 remember how much of a hater Fenix was lol, most imba protoss yet imo. True hater to the heart
yua have ah link? yeah Phenix was ah dam hater hehe
That extended vision using ex desk will only last until they patch it. Even so it's an advantage no matter how you look at it, sure it's there and if yuh have the hardware by all means use it, way I see it though, yuh really cyah brag on a man head when yuh have an advantage from the outset. Just my 2c
P.S. ppls remember the faces of those with that adv XD if they coas yuh know to tell them where to stick it.
why is wintry comenting on what fair or not and we eh see d man in ah swet yet? bwdmc lololool, buy d game yo!Who says I haven't ;)

4 lings - 100 min - 0 gas
2 marines - 100 min - 0 gas
1 zealot will kill both of those 4 lings or 2 marines...so i dont really know how u can say toss is the most expensive

many words... high templars are much higher tech than ghosts... and takes longer to come out...
secondly targeting a ghost with a high templar can be difficult since u can keep ur ghosts in the back and run them in to buss emp and back out :)... not to mention u always hadda have d obs

Anyone on this forum beats this... is a SC god to me...lol..

collosi are actualy pretty nasty. ive used it to pwon every terran i've foguht in the platinum league. properly microed with some stalkers to pick off vikings, and dey do real damage.nah man, that very concept that they can get bull from air while having no damn seige is so disgusting, could kite them f*(* all day and wreck them
so im trying to figure out wtf everyone does be. wyatt and i (when i get a chance to come online) always by we lonesome selves dealin with the foreigners. some more local sweats would be nice jus to get away from the tension of league games and jus shit talk and play de ass. where alya men???

Skynet meets the Swarm: how the Berkeley Overmind won the 2010 StarCraft AI competition
We’re gathered in a conference room on the Berkeley campus, the detritus of a LAN party scattered around us. The table is covered with computers and pizza, and there’s a game of StarCraft projected on the screen. Oriol Vinyals, a PhD student in computer science, is commanding the Terran army in a life-or-death battle against the forces of the Zerg Swarm.
Oriol is very good—one-time World Cyber Games competitor, number 1 in Spain, top 16 in Europe good. But his situation now is precarious: his goliath walkers are holding off the Zerg’s flying mutalisks, but they can’t be everywhere at once. The Zerg player is crafty, retreating in the face of superior firepower but never going far, picking off targets of opportunity and applying constant pressure.
Then Oriol makes a mistake. He moves his goliaths slightly out of position, just for a few seconds. It’s enough. The mutalisks react instantly, streaming through the gap in his defenses and making straight for his vulnerable workers. By the time Oriol brings the goliaths back to drive off the mutalisks, his workers are wiped out and his resource production is crippled.
Oriol makes a desperate, last-ditch attack on the Zerg base, trying to break through before the mutalisks are reinforced, but it’s too late. One after another, his goliaths get ripped apart by the Zerg defenses. As a new wave of mutalisks emerges from the Zerg hatcheries, he has no choice but to concede—to the computerized AI that just defeated him.
.....
The StarCraft AI competition was created to harness and promote StarCraft as a research environment. AI researchers have used RTS games in the past, but their efforts were hampered by the technology available. Open-source games were buggy and untested, and commercial games like StarCraft were inaccessible.
This changed in early 2009 with the release of the Brood War API (BWAPI), an open-source toolkit developed by a group of enthusiasts that gives direct access to the game. Ben Weber, a student in the Expressive Intelligence Studio at UC Santa Cruz, had been working on RTS game-based research. He realized that StarCraft and BWAPI could make an immediate impact on his work and be a valuable tool for the AI community. He set about organizing a tournament for StarCraft AI agents to compete against each other, hoping to kick-start progress and raise interest.
The announcement for the tournament was made in November of 2009, and the word soon went out on gaming websites and blogs: the 2010 Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE) Conference, to be held in October 2010 at Stanford University, would host the first ever StarCraft AI competition.
.....
In theory, a computer should be great at controlling many units simultaneously, since it’s not limited by human speeds. Indeed, there is a common misconception that because StarCraft is real-time, it must be game of reflexes. But while speed is useful and important, it is no substitute for knowing the right thing to do. Good unit management requires intelligent decision-making. Simply moving the mutalisks in combat demands some sophistication. The mutalisks need to fly toward their targets but stay away from other enemies; they need to concentrate their firepower, yet disperse when facing enemy units with area attacks. To top it off, dozens of mutalisks must do this in sync.
To handle these issues and limit computational overhead, our agent uses artificial potential fields for unit movement. The potential field controller generates virtual forces that push the mutalisks around, balancing attractive forces on targets with repulsive forces on threats. Summing up the forces acting on a mutalisk gives a direction to fly, resulting in a simple but robust control scheme. We were helped by the fact that air units like mutalisks don’t get stuck on obstacles or each other.
Potential field control is very powerful. For example, hit-and-run maneuvers can be created by simply turning off attractive target potentials after firing; repulsive threat potentials automatically cause the mutalisks to dance out of range while waiting for their attacks to recharge. Attractive potentials draw the group together to concentrate fire, but if an area-attack threat appears, a repulsive potential causes the cluster to quickly scatter.
The video bellow shows this behavior in an engagement with Protoss Archons, powerful anti-air units. With potential fields, “you get certain desired behaviors that just emerge,” says David Burkett.

......
For the Zerg, much mid and late-game scouting information comes from proper use of overlords. Overlords are slow-moving flying units with long sight-range that also provide supply, an in-game metric governing the number of units that can be built. Having overlords scattered around the map improves targeting and macro planning, but losing overlords both reduces vision of the map and hinders the ability to build more units. The benefit gained from observations has to be balanced against the risk of losing overlords, and the overlords need to be protected from blundering into enemy units.
Our solution to the problem of overlord control and scouting had an uninspired beginning. StarCraft’s built-in path planning for ground units is terrible, an irritant that has hindered players for over a decade. As development progressed, Dan decided that we weren’t going to put up with the indignity of watching units getting stuck on walls and chasing their own tails, so we implemented our own path planning.
Simply getting from point A to point B successfully was useful enough, but the real change came from combining path planning with an awareness of enemy units. The Overmind keeps a continuously updated map of the positions of every enemy unit it has ever seen and the last known location of that unit. Since the attack range and speed of units in StarCraft are known, the agent can combine this information with its map of enemy units to build a threat map. For each unit type, it can calculate a level of danger for that unit to be in an area. This threat map can be combined with the path planning algorithm by including the threat in a given map area as part of the cost of traversing it. Short paths that are under high threat are less preferable to longer, safer paths. Modifying the algorithm this way required some technical tricks to run quickly enough to be useful, but once working it proved to be a valuable tool. Though originally intended for worker units, we were suddenly using it everywhere.

Wham alyu men dead awah? i dont see u guys online anymore maybe some select few...add meh those who still play
lol, blame mass effect 2.

You NEED to get ur own PC, so I can tote mine and sweat elsewhere :p
Doh gimme dat rebirth when last you pass through mumble whne it have more than 2 men scratchin -.-
oh, he's the popular kid
Too cool for school
Why don't we play some 1v1 matches with obs? Use the 1v1 obs Metalopolis custom map where people can stay in and play one after the other without having to start over the whole game. What allyuh think?
well IMO the only ppl stop playing craft was from the gatt website ><

Don't confuse "we" with "me". Personally stopped to play Mass Effect 2 (great game btw) but others continued all the while.
(I know cause they kept harassing me to come sweat with 'em. lol)
Hey did you guys enjoy the 1v1's we had? I know some people had a problem with Devious playing a lot of the time, but we could just ask him to step out, he's nice and would be glad to. Also, we didn't have many people, it should be a lot more fun if we have more people to play with, and it would keep it more interesting to see different matchups and strats.i think it was excellent especially if we do it tom wen alot of ppl r online...am i would love to continuously fight devious i hav no probs wit him it helps me gain strats and the thrill of training wit a master 1v1 protoss big respect! but we should let the lower lvl leagues fight each other and the higher ones to themselves bcuz its a bit advantageous (e.g. devious, mysterio. ipixtt. myself. orangepeel should be only fighting each other) idk wat u think crackers? as for rstarlin i didnt knw he was a member so long i meet him elsewhere...am on another note i was thinkin of actually teaching some of you guys who hav problems in a certain area like countering a build or whatnot im thinking of setting some time aside for this any thoughts? i would love to see local gamers in high rank competition and i don't mind devoting time to help achieve that what you guys think?
Anyway, I just wanted to know if you guys want to do this again tonight? Will people be at home tonight to play? This time we will co-ordinate matches, maybe by vote or something. Just so that everyone is getting a chance to play and keep the matches interesting!
anyone else game not working after they downloaded the "patch" for today?
you cant avoid patches in SC2.
http://sc2armory.com/ (http://sc2armory.com/)
They are facilitating linking regions and updating to Season 3 of the SC2. =/
Patched my craft. Ready and waiting.
Have a bunch of guys in the office who are playing nowadays. You want to make a lil squad to take them on in a friendly 3v3 or 4v4?
No step for mankind but a huge victory for crackers :ph34r:

StarCraft II's latest patch arrived with a swarm of game-breaking bugs. Here's how wrong the 1.5.0 Arcade patch went.
At the end of July, Blizzard revealed the details of its 1.5.0 Arcade patch for StarCraft II, hailing "sweeping changes to the Battle.net experience". The patch, it said, would contain no balance tweaks and very few bug fixes; instead, it represented a huge overhaul of the graphical user interface and changes to the system for delivering further patches.
