StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Hits Retail July 27
" @Chainblast: Don't worry, you're not the only one who feels this way. The single player will need to stand on its own for me to purchase. "I really hope it does.
Blizzard has put a lot of time into the singleplayer campaign. There will even be singleplayer exclusive units and achievements, and of course Blizzard's going to have its crazy high quality cinematics after every mission. I expect nothing less in quality than the Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne campaigns, which are the epitome of singleplayer RTS design." @Eljay said:

" So who else is still neck-deep in the beta? As a Protoss player I'm having a terrible time against Terrans lately, since immortals were nerfed a bit in the last patch and the marauder's concussive shell came back on the scene in a major way. Everybody loves to drop the ghost's EMP on 'toss these days, too, making immos and void rays all but worthless against a huge mass of marauders and marines. Little help? "
Dude, just mass zealots and dark templars, totally counter marauders... *secretly starts massing banshees and ravens*
M&M can easily be countered by P with Colossi and/or Immortals. I wouldn't worry about numbers so much as upgrades. A Immortal with 1/1 upgrades will shred through marauders like a hot knife through butter. You just need to micro them effectively so they aren't wasting time on the marines. Have some stalkers or Charge equipped Zealots for the Marines and you should be golden.
Also, build a shuttle, get a reaver in there and harass their mineral line. What, no reavers? I dunno, make colossi and pack them in a warp prism.
After playing beta I totally lost interest in Starcraft 2.
Supreme Commander 2 is superior on every level, graphics, unit animations, weapon effects and explosions, scale, maps, research tree, vast number of interesting units, unit veterancy, zoom etc.etc.

" Wow, didnt expect it for summer! Sadly I think I want Diablo more now thou >.> "Diablo 3 isn't coming out until some time in 2011, what you can't save up the money in that amount of time?
For Marine/Marauder go with Zelots equiped with charge and Immortals, and then get High Templar to psistorm. I wouldn't use Colossi as they can go down pretty quick to focused Marauder fire. The late game pretty much boils down to who can psistorm and EMP better than the other.
Hope this helps, Brad. Good Luck!

"Don't they have like 9range or something with their thermal lance(?) upgrade, if you're having zealots/forcefields to block marauders shouldnt be a problem..
...theoretically :E
That's very hard to pull off against a player that knows how to scout (gold league and up)." The winning strats I've seen in protoss games recently usually involve 8 or more warp gates and a warp prisim going around behind the enemy base and destroying econ before anything can be done about it. The best part is that you can probably tech to warping sooner than they can more than a ghost or two out, and I haven't seen too much ghost play. "
" @SnakeEyes327 said:I think his point was that there are no Blizzard games on Steam.Actually, didn't Steam just come out with a Mac client? "" @Jayross said:
" Can I buy it from Steam for Mac? "No. "
huh, sooner than id expect knowing blizzard. Any, my comp cant run it, so i dont really care personally.
I AM SO EXCITED! ZOMG!
Now that, that is out of my system. The Beta so far is great, even though the game really doesn't feel terribly different than the first. Everything just feels well thought out/planned and unlike most recent RTS's the Terran, Protoss, Zerg all feel considerably different and fun to play.
I haven't had this much playing an RTS in a while.
I can't do much against MMM as a Zerg either. It's beatable, but it seems to require 10x the micro to beat MMM as it does to perform it. They can basically just right click your base and work on their macro, whereas the Z has to effectively micro banelings, infestors, lings, and hydras to beat it. If I can't win early, it just doesn't happen.
