@ helm I agree with most of what you said... seems his main problem was that he didn't locate his enemy as fast. That and he didn't locate other resources soon enough. And your right, he seems to have mismanaged his forces a bit. It seemed like he had decent builds, but didn't use them properly. The terran player on the other hand, pretty much schooled him. But I thought the nuke was a bit cheesy.

As for defense, he could have placed a few cannons closer in. To protect against a drop at least. Your right about the seige tank part though.

It's been years since I've played the game so I'm a bit rusty. But just looking at the vid, it seemed like the protoss could have done a lot better.

@ kim chi. Your like the guy in the espn commercials. Just talking out of your ass. I'd say your the moron for just making assumptions, then starting with the insults. Either that or a fanboy for a starcraft player? Which might actually be sadder. Money maps are what they are. I played everything. And like I said, got bored with all of them. Actually, I liked playing maps with minimal resources. But why would you know that? You wouldn't, you tool.

And regarding rushes. A decent player can defend a rush. But the point of a rush often is just to harass, distract and delay. Obviously, if you take them out, all the better. But if the other guy has to spend time and resources dealing with it, it's still useful. I thought it surprising that neither attempted one.

Having watched that, I have to say I wasn't all that impressed with the protoss guy. The terran was pretty good.

The protoss looks like he didn't properly execute the reaver drop. He didn't try a rush? No balanced attack... at all. And he didn't even build a decent defensive position for his home base.

I wasn't a "pro" but I was pretty decent at Starcraft. Good enough to get bored with the competition. I loved those starship trooper maps.

Come to think of it, I should fire up starcraft again, just to open a can of whoopass.

wow, the first decent reason yet to get a 360 and pay a monthly tithe to the alter of microsoft.

I wonder how Jack "I profit from tragedy" Thompson will react...

On the plus side, this is about 5 min. where I live (and Activision peeps are about 200ft. or so from Barker).

On the negative side, traffic on Ocean Park Blvd. and Centinela Ave. is going to be even more of a bitch. Hundreds of people driving Sebring convertible rent-a-cars, staring at a Tom-Tom instead of the road...

LOL! nice post.


BTW, this is exactly what the xbox360 needs. Another co-op FPS.

/sarcasm/

Well, since this strategy seemed to work with the first xbox vs. gamecube, I guess it was only a matter of time before they played this card. Especially considering how they are getting punked by the Wii.

The only people that care about how adult a game is instead of how fun they are, are 14yo children.

Microsoft should worry about the PS2 since the 360 hasn't even been able to outsell that in any given quarter, including last Dec.
