A tool every competitive Starcraft player needs
2008-06-05 00:00:00 Ultimate Starcraft Tool z v0.21 Alpha KloMeister created and recently launched a new tool that any competitive SC player would love to use. It is a combination Starcraft hack detectors as well as providing nifty features any player could use. Such as the constant map download display and automatic unique replay saving(saves every match by a new name so you don’t have to rename the last_replay.rep file) So far I haven’t detected any hacks, course I don’t play on Bnet these days anyways(no thanks to fucks like BWhacks)… but the other features a real nice Download Ultimate Starcraft Toolz Now ^ Oblivion Hack detection ^ Download status ^ Automatically save and name replays More About: Player , Competitive

Starcraft 7 years in 7 minutes.. a history of patches
2008-05-31 00:00:00 This is a great find… Luckyfool uploaded this video he spliced together that takes us a little bit back in time. He mentions the 1.08 patch and showcases some funny things in the early Starcraft years. I have tons of magical Starcraft memories I’ll never forget :’) like being able to get away with Scout Rushes lol, perfecting the Zileas reaver drop, beating Maynard, Kali & Cases ladder etc… Starcraft was the first game ever where I hated to lose more then I loved to win. It brought out the competitive gaming blood in me. Moral of the story is, SC wasn’t perfectly balanced right out the door, but Blizzard’s hardwork and patience molded it into the greatest RTS game on the planet. Now we can all look forward to creating new memories in the future with StarCraft II. More About: History , Patches , Years , Minutes

Watch the new Zerg Ultra in action
2008-05-29 00:00:00 Whoa that is one mean badass… who else here wants to see him go up against the new Protoss Archon? This video was uploaded a while back it seems, but has gone under the radar for a while… Even with the low quality video it is apparent Blizzard is adding a lot of subtle details, in the effects, doodads and unit animations.

The Zerg Acid Pus Bug
2008-05-27 00:00:00 BANELING Information about the Baneling has been uploaded to the European Starcraft 2 site, the US site always gets updated slower :/ anyways here is a new look at the Baneling and its story: The Baneling is a creature so bloated with fluid-filled sacs that it can barely walk; instead, it moves itself by tucking into a tight ball and rolling. However, this ungainly appearance belies the fact that the Baneling is an extremely dangerous organism, one of several new Zerg specialists recently seen on the battlefield. When a Baneling gets close enough to an enemy, the creature triggers a reaction within its volatile chemical payload that causes it to explode with devastating force and shower the immediate surroundings with searing acid. The Baneling is destroyed in the explosion, which is very likely to inflict a huge amount of damage. - Blizzard More Lore: http://eu.starcraft2.com/features/zerg/ba neling.xml This last sentence is interesting: Terran commanders now tra...

Old School Starcraft, by Pillars
2008-05-27 00:00:00 Ex-Progamer, clanmate and good friend of mine Pillars wrote a neat post up about his experience with high-level Starcraft play back in the day… he said I could repost it here. To any veteran SC gamer, especially one that played in the PGL, i2e2 or on Kali this article should bring up some fun memories. I know it did for me, I could talk for hours/days about SC 1999-2004 the old school years. Who is Old school? Brief BW History Author Pillars Someone over there asked me to talk a bit about my BW history after I linked him to the “Who is old school [Pictures]” thread on this site. Figured some of you might enjoy it as well. I’ll bang out some paragraphs for you...this will be an interesting exercise in memory, and I’ll undoubtedly get some facts wrong: Starcraft was my first competitive RTS. There was a whole brood of very strong RTS players who had played Warcraft 2 on Kali [an old IPX online gaming platform] who were able to translate many of ... More About: School , Old School

Starcraft II Mod foc WC3
2008-05-27 00:00:00 Someone was bound to do it! Presenting… STARCRAFT MARINE ASSAULT There is already a Starcraft WCIII mod, now the talented crew over at wccampaigns.net have created a Starcraft 2 mod Now if only I can find my WCIII CD… Check out their site for more details. (and bigger screenshots) You can even download this mod from CNET From abriko of wccampaigns.net: ?I released the version 2 of Marine Assault ?the map is very very different. This version is more like a RPG-melee. RPG because you start with only your heroe, nothing can be done without the heroe and spell and items are necessary to complete the mission. Melee because you can have many units, earn money by a small ressource system, attack enemys bases but don?t have any troop production.?

Starcraft II Batch 38 - Roaches IMBA!
More articles from this author:2008-05-27 00:00:00 The full batch and my comments… We have a traditional Q&A Batch this time around, in which we were able to add in additional questions from the community! There are still several art changes which prevent new screenshots from being shown, but once we get them out, they will be worth the wait! The development team has also been experimenting with many upgrades for all sides, which we’ll also be updating the community on as testing progresses. StarCraft II Q&A Batch 38 1. If the Roach is hit by any spell like “plague” or “psi storm,” something that reduces hit points per second, will this be negated by its HP regeneration, or result in fewer hit points gained per second for the duration of the spell? (sclegacy.com) To clarify, a Roach regenerates at a set rate and Psi Storm does a set amount of damage at intervals in the area of effect. Put that Roach under a Psi Storm in the current build for the full duration and the Roach wi... More About: Starcraft 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
