@jakob187: Don't underestimate your Spine Crawlers in the early game. 2 or 3 well placed can definitely be the difference between a win and a loss. As for having to wait a little longer for the Spore Crawlers, the Queens are very potent AA units in themselves, so maybe getting an extra Queen or two to hang around your base could help. Also, that transfusion ability is pretty awesome for keeping your static defenses alive.
Void Rays are powerful, yes, but they are EASILY dealt with if you scout beforehand, just like any other build.
Just last night I got fuuuucked by a well-timed VR push because he saw I was expanding and starting to slow push with my tanks and marines. He popped into my base with 3 or 4 VRs and wiped all my barracks and factories. Did he win because his VRs were overpowered? No. Did he win because I didn't scout his starport and left my base without any anti air? Yes.
So instead of raging and crying imbalance, I went to the replay and saw what he did and what I did wrong, so I could prepare better next time.
" I mostly play Terran now, but for Zerg I six pool like crazy. For some reason people can't stop six pools in my ladder division (Platinum - Valerian Sierra). For Terran I go the standard MMM, and then finish it with Vikings and Banshee. EDIT: I would like to point out, standard wins. Being cocky and creative isn't the point, if you want to show-off trickery go for it. I like standard builds, with my own flair. For me, I pretend I'm controlling an army for justice and then I call forth the heavens and rip apart all anti-air the guy might have, with my Banshee's invisible from the sky raining down freedom. Vikings land down by the soldiers and fight onward. "
Damn six?! The earliest I've ever gone is 13 pool. Now I have to try it next time I get zerg lol. "
The problem with 6 pools is that if it doesn't succeed, you're kind of boned if their reaction time is good.
But it's almost always a surprise, so a very high-risk, high-reward strategy
In beta I mained Protoss and did a lot of early Void Rays with Stalker and Zealot support.
However, since launch I've been trying to stick with Terran and I've found some good success with early 3 rax Marine/Marauder pushes, with really early stimpack.
I've been messing around with mech play lately, trying to get some good Siege Tanks with Viking support, but still working the kinks out of that.
" @VanderSEXXX: Exactly. They have to be coded to work with Mac's OS. Right now the only Valve games that will work with Mac is Team Fortress 2 and Portal. "
Where can you download the Mac TF2?
On Steam it only has the windows logo, so as far as I see the only working Valve game is Portal currently.
Which is a bummer, since I've been stoked about this BECAUSE of tf2 on my macbook pro. But Portal is awesome/free, so I can't complain much
