I now remember why Starcraft is the best game ever made. I got into it again because I recently just found out there finally making a sequel. I'm sure everyone else knows that by now, but it was news to me. I went onto youtube and saw actual gameplay footage and then onto the SC2 site. The game is going to be amazing, and now I'm playing a game made 10 years ago because of it.
Anyone still play? I'm such a noob I've found out. I never used hotkeys before or scroll on the screen using only the mouse, so thats been hard to adjust to. I found this site (GomTV) that has videos of the korean pro gamer matches. It's just insane how good those kids are. 300 actions per minute... ours are probably like 50 or 100 on a good day.
So yeah, Starcraft is awesome.
I used to be pretty decent at the game. You know you can make groups of units by selecting them and pressnig ctl+i(i=0..9), then you can select them by pressing the number key, and have the camera focus on them by pressing it twice. For example I would have my command center be hotkey 0. My rush force hotkey 1 etc. It's awesome to have a group of 4 high templar ready to roll incase a zerg enemy flies up on you with a mutalisk rush. 'Press' 'Press' Oh psionic storm ftmfwin!!!
You're right, SC is such an awesome game... SC2 is going to be THE ****. Blizzard is renowned for having awesome UI's, as well as polished gameplay, which are exactly what a successful RTS needs. I hope to god they have dual monitor support.
Ah I can see it now... "THE OFFICIAL SC2 WAGERING THREAD"
