I picked up a copy of this game so I could play it for the first time in 6 years. Goddamn it is a consuming game. With just the single player I've been spending hours a day on it. I feel drained. Amazingly how well this has held up.

Halon - June 08, 2010 (10:29 PM) I thought the opposite, actually. Singleplayer didn't hold up well at all to me; same problem with almost every singleplayer RTS pre-2002 or so. It's all about turtling and just about every mission lays out the same way in the end. Multiplayer, of course, is a different story, but I've been out of it for so long that I'm afraid to go back. When SC2 comes out I'll give it a try again. |

zippdementia - June 09, 2010 (12:03 AM) We were talking about SC2 today, a friend and I... got a little bit into some of the unit issues with SC1: Silent Wolf says: (10:15:26 PM) there are a lot more useful units in SC2 Zipp Dementia says: (10:15:42 PM) Yeah, I do think SC1 had some useless units... Zipp Dementia says: (10:15:47 PM) Zerg had the most Silent Wolf says: (10:15:49 PM) what i love about SC2, for zerg at least, is there a unit that spawn larva and expands your creep Zipp Dementia says: (10:16:10 PM) Terran's had the vultures which were pretty useless, but not much else. Zipp Dementia says: (10:16:20 PM) And I don't know if Protoss had any useless units. Zipp Dementia says: (10:16:28 PM) Maybe the regular Templar, but then they turn into Archons Zipp Dementia says: (10:16:33 PM) Which are very frightening Zipp Dementia says: (10:16:47 PM) But the damn Zerg! Silent Wolf says: (10:16:48 PM) yeah Zipp Dementia says: (10:16:53 PM) Like three or four units that suck Zipp Dementia says: (10:17:09 PM) Then again, you can decimate pretty much anything with 12 hydralisks and 40 zergling Zipp Dementia says: (10:17:16 PM) Don't NEED anything else |

sashanan - June 09, 2010 (12:32 AM) I'm once again starting from the beginning - having now installed it off my registration on Battle.net rather than using my discs - and I'm up to Terrans 6. This should be easy enough, the Zerg in the area can be cleared well enough with a group of Goliaths, my most powerful unit available right now (tanks come in the next mission IIRC). Group of twelve does take losses quickly as they mop up, though, so I might just see about securing that new patch of crystals and vespene gas I've discovered and build a second group while the AI harmlessly splashes minimal attack forces against my bunkers and turrets. So yeah, turtling. |

zippdementia - June 09, 2010 (09:32 AM) Terran 10 is not a turtling mission, nor are many of the protoss missions. I've mostly been blitzing, not turtling. |

Halon - June 09, 2010 (10:10 AM) I was horrible with Zerg so I can't really comment on them. Vultures, however, were pretty useful online, being the Terran's only scout. |

zippdementia - June 09, 2010 (09:45 PM) Yeah, I stand very corrected by having been shown some korean vids. But it's definitely a micro managed unit. |
