StarCraft 2, the GOAT game, must get its own thread

Who'd you order from? GameStop? Amazon?

My UPS tracking # from GameStop indicates Thursday delivery.

 

Just released today. I'm in the same boat as you, I'll feel like a complete noob once I start playing again haha

 

I ordered from GameStop. I had the free 3-day shipping, but last week I decided that I didn't want to wait. I called GameStop customer support and had them change it to overnight shipping. No charge for it either . I just ended up paying for the Collector's Edition + tax.

 

I'm afraid to get this game. I played SC1 religiously while in highschool and college. I am afraid if i get this game productivity in my life will go down the drain now that I'm older, married, and a serious job lol

 

I love the campaign, but the micromanaging was always too difficult for me to keep up with on bnet (although I enjoyed playing with a friend against an AI opponent).

I didn't realize the first release only has a terran campaign, not sure how I feel about that.

 

which thread do we want to use?


I think i will purchase this game, but not now.

I need to update the configs of my computer.

 

Well, I didn't want to wait 'til Thursday for my online pre-order to come in, so I just bought the digital copy (I had already installed the same). So, if you want the product key from the copy that arrives on Thursday at a ClutchFans discount, let me know... otherwise, I'll just return it to GameStop (or put it in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum when it arrives).

 

Got mine at Best Buy. Seems to be plenty around to be had. Same name on BNET. I hope my account is still active

 

so when can we get a cf.net campaign going??

 

It doesn't have a page where I select my computer specs? It just assumes all my specs....

 

Nevermind, I just realized it bases it on the computer your at...so i can play starcraft on my work computer but probably not on my laptop.

 

so i am new at this game...


how do you kill your own units or delete your own buildings?

 

Select your dudes, press A or click attack and then click on your own unit/building.

 

i got the game. its saying that my video card needs to be updated. bahh.

lets see how long it takes to get this fixed.

 

off the wall subject...and since i don't have search rights yet...What would y'all recommend for a gaming desktop?

 

I think Alienware has been the standard for about a decade, but I build my own so I don't really know. Plus, they may have gone downhill since Dell bought 'em. They're also not cheap.

 

is it easy to change the cpu/processor?

 

yeah, that's what i figured. i built my own earlier today but I started out with the ALX @ 2300...ended up with a final cost of $3500.

do you have any recommendations on a graphics card?

 

It depends. Older CPU's have older motherboard sockets. If you get a new CPU that's a different socket, you'll have to upgrade your motherboard. Often, if you upgrade your motherboard, you may have to upgrade other things like memory or the power supply. It can really cascade depending on the age of your parts.

 

OH YEAH
