Want me to ship one up to you?

Heh, I'm not sure how it happened, but I did an early opt-in for the WoW Cataclysm expansion and Blizzard sent me an invite for the SC beta. I don't even play SC, but my boyfriend sure was happy.

You don't play SC? Its the best game they've produced.

thanks but i'm just going to be patient. i'm not so huge on the multiplayer thing after all. also kind of iffy on today's announcement about facebook integration into battle.net.

i'm just hoping the campaign is thoroughly fleshed out and satisfying as opposed to a tacked on diversion like other recent games featuring large scale MP components.

I just never got into it. I would try it out, but my boyfriend hogs the gaming computer all day and the video card in my computer sucks ass.

well... considering the original is 13 years old unless you have some sort of antique video card it shouldn't be an issue.

That is true. Isn't it like Command And Conquer in its game play, like you have a base and have to push forward/protect it?

yup, exactly. only in space, and way more awesome.

Yeah starcraft rules, finished uni for the year so I've been playing a bit on iccup.

bumping this now that the game has been out long enough for people to get a proper taste.

personally i'm super impressed with the campaign and the achievement system. though i find it annoying that you have a much wider variety of units in the single player than you do in MP. some of the new vehicles seem rather redundant and useless as well, did anyone ever use Diamondbacks outside of their specific mission?

i really like the idea of leagues as well but i've had less than great luck. getting paired up against a Gold for my first 1vs1 match after getting ranked as a Bronze wasn't fun for either of us.

if anyone wants to swap BNet info and have a few matches just send me a PM.
