the best SC2 strats and build orders plus replays from pro diamond and platinum league pros - youtube.com/watch?v=SNMAYSP8ze­0

[aaronled]

Excellent overview - thanks!

[GreenDay3213]

This is the game millions of people waited for.......

Ehem.... -Cough- Gay -Cough-

[gi711]

@GreenDay3213 sux my balls...

[GreenDay3213]

@gi711

Suck my cargo ship sized dick

[Agomongo1235]

@GreenDay3213 u must be a sc2 hater

[Dolon88]

SC2 is actually the sequel to the best RTS game ;)

[ryider]

@Dolon88 a laptop

[Dolon88]

@ryider ? Is it just me missing the point here?

[ryider]

@Dolon88 a laptop computer...you are discussing a video game without using your mouth... you use your fingers to type...a laptop

[Wak33n]

SC2 ftw...

[damnthatsagood]

Starcraft 2 sux ballz. World in Conflict FTW!!!!!!

[grassman1993]

@damnthatsagood you are so wrong its not even funny

[TheHordeling]

@damnthatsagood i find that although World in Conflict and games like starcraft, warcraft and command & conquer are the same genre they are almost completely different, there is a lot more strategy in base building RTS games however the straight up here your guys go do stuff with them games are a lot more fast pased.

[Vultigzor]

Is it just me or was there a night elf dancing on the balcony in the cantina?

[BaileysBeads]

Aw man you could've boosted the cinematic graphics just for this video.

[brandonr85]

Looks awesome. Too bad my graphics card probably isn`t strong enough.

[Blickity413]

@brandonr85 What type of card? My friends and I have it running on 11 different computers, including some lower end laptops. It has to be at lower settings, but it was still playable, looked good, and was fun.

It is definitely better with every setting at max (I play like that :)), but definitely playable and enjoyable at lower settings.

[brandonr85]

@Blickity413 ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 Series. I played Alien Swarm a couple of times and it looked OK until there was a ton of aliens, then it got kind of laggy. Might have helped if i lowered the quality settings a little bit.

[visdom0]

@brandonr85 with that card u can play it with no lag whatsoever on starcraft 2 on lower graphics

[madman725]

ugh, i hated the escort mission, played all so far (except one) on brutal difficulty and kept getting murdered by the kill team

[BlazinNSoul]

I think SC2 is about as good as to be expected for an RTS at this stage in the game. In terms of real strategy SC in general is a much better game then others in the genre. People like comparing Halo Wars with everything but Halo is kinda boring and any lame brain can play it. In contrast StarCraft is a thinking man's game which I much prefer. It is unfortunate that StarCraft Ghost didn't come out as a compliment to this as would have been nice. Although on it's own SC2 holds up fine!!

[xPandaPower]

What's RTS?

[blarghbalrgh]

@xPandaPower RTS is Real Time Strategy

[MrAlexanderXII]

@xPandaPower Real Time Strategy

[rubstercreations]

@chief5566 nice XD

[EvilHikaru]

@chief5566 And in the top left when it zooms out again XD

[thejackalstorm]

This is a way better commentary then the BFBC2 one I saw, you have a lot more passion and interest in this game which translates into the commentary and makes it much more engrossing.

[Avionicgenius]

Seriously wtf L'oreal ADVERT for starcraft 2...what fucking idiot thought that would be a good advert for this audience?

[bygone44]

@Tuplabotti it is anything but, but it does require thought so you might want to stick to cod/bf/halo

[mch158]

are there any other races besides protos, zerg and terran?

[makeone1234]

@mch158 ya idiots

[mch158]

@makeone1234 wow dude way to be sociable

[hundredsofthem]

Is Gamestradamus now a machinia director? If he is, grats to him.

[ArcticAndyV2]

i hate escort missions especially ones in an RTS like in Supreme Commader i hated the EDF 2nd mission

[TotalWarLord]

can you play skirmish on this ?

[LethalMezzle]

@TotalWarLord Yeah, and the AI's pretty impressive on it too.

[gamerpete619]

this game looks so epic

[Drknowz]

how the hell do i turn off the auto play in the tool bar?????

[KopaleKopale]

@Drknowz ask the google gays who bought youtube!

[HiDDeNGaming]

Ok i got this game today but when i put in the game key for battlenet it said the code could not be claimed. can anyone help and tell me what to do ? cuz i want to play it and i even bought it but i cant play!!!!

[leventopoulo]

Ok so when will warcraft 4 come out? w00t

[GH0S794]

the campaign is amazing, though i alrdy completed it...

[UncleSamFisher]

Do you have the brightness turned up in a fucking RTS?

[archreaper990]

Starcraft DotA, fuck yeah

[bygone44]

@archreaper990 ha, i hope not.. i was terrible at dota :(

[99Snipez]

HALO REACH

[rDTuRnOuT]

Can we say best game of the year? Haha

[InfiniteWisdoms]

wheres husky?

[SELLSHAKO]

I personally played all of Beta in Starcraft2, and can tell anyone who is highly competitive to stay far away from this game. It's extremely imbalanced in comparison to the original, which makes for poor gameplay. If you risk breaking stuff from aggravation due to video game rage, than don't buy this. I'd also like to note that I was Diamond solo and 2v2 league directly from ABUSING fast mutalisk tech every game - I have credibility. Mutalisk's is the only GOOD Zerg unit; Everything else blows.

[IMT00CLAN]

@SELLSHAKO Fast muta countered easily by voids/pheonixs or that terran air that can land im having a retarted moment.

[TornadoesNMusic]

@IMT00CLAN Vikings can land from the air haha

[SELLSHAKO]

@IMT00CLAN yes, muta's are easily countered, but they are the best strategy a zerg has to win, so that's speaking volumes on how badly balanced the game is. Fast roaches/zerglings is the only other moderately decent strategy, but build time decreases for both tier 1 units for Protoss and Terran made that strategy nearly obsolete. I'm glad you further proved my point. The removal of devourer's and scourge from zerg's anti-air remove any possibility of end-game air fleets for zerg.

[daxan19]

@SELLSHAKO lol fail!

[djmixabitt]

so if u bought this game, could u live off the single-player if that's all u played? not saying im scared if the multi-player or anything... i'm just saying...

[WEStICE013]

@djmixabitt single player is amazing but starcraft 2 really shines on battle.net, ranked matches custom games it's all amazing

[djmixabitt]

@WEStICE013 lol i know, golems ftw? :P

[MATT2FOUR]

@djmixabitt I've been playing the single player since it came out and I'm no done yet. There's achievements and different things to unlock in each mission. So yes you can live off of single player.

[djmixabitt]

@MATT2FOUR nice sounds cool thanks

[Arkains10]

Game of the year, end of story

[ThatMrSombreroGuy]

@Arkains10 no pc game will ever win goty

halo read dead might win

[Bluefoxx3]

@ThatMrSombreroGuy many PC games have won game of the year

[ThatMrSombreroGuy]

@Bluefoxx3 yea like in 1999 diablo etc lol

[Bluefoxx3]

@Bluefoxx3 F.E.A.R, DOOM 3, several of the Command & Conquer games, Crysis, the Star Wars KOTOR series, these were just a few of the games that were PC Game of the year or FPS Game of the year

[AbsenceOfColor88]

@Arkains10 What? Game of the Decade!!!

[xXSuperToasterXx]

Cq62

[ThatMrSombreroGuy]

Thumbs Up If HuskyStarcraft And HDstarcraft Should Be On Machinima

[majones117]

[atgmai]

[Buffon169]

[cocacolafresh]

[dreadmaster210]

whats rts

[avengedchemicalboy]

@dreadmaster210 Real Time Strategy

[Dollyboywow]

Thumbs up if u need Zerg/Protoss campaigns

[LiquidIce17]

Does anyone know how low the graphics quality will go? Because my computer is terrible for graphics and I don't want to buy a graphics card

[TagginNBaggin]

@LiquidIce17 you need at least a gefore 8600 to run it. I feel your pain... I have to either get a new graphics card for my PC or upgrade the logic board on my macbook. $60<$600, so I really know your pain haha.

[LiquidIce17]

@TagginNBaggin Thanks. and yeah that really sucks. lol

[TagginNBaggin]

@LiquidIce17 yeah, but it is worth the new graphics card. You can get a 9800 I think for under 80 bucks+shipping off tigerdirect. Just google it.

[106riseagainst]

Wow this was on casual wasnt it? Im dissapointed in you gamestradomus

[xWHATdoYOUwantx]

i would so get the game if i had a computer that could handle the software.

[falcon0013]

Dancing night elf in the background at 2:09!!

[KSIRaDCaD]

why does everybody hate change? its just about 1 centimeter of the bottom of the page, fuckin deal with it

[DragonGuy123456789]

is it just terran for single?

[tekoa]

@DragonGuy123456789 there are some protoss missions, but the majority of it is only terran, protoss and zerg campaigns will be in the expansions.

[sbonge]

Im thinking bout getting this game. I enjoy games where u get to upgrade things, build things, command things to attack stuff for u. is this the type of game?

[TheIhnwebsite]

@sbonge its an rts sir 

[Andrew24769]

look if you want to get rid of the new bar, delete the & and everything after it in the URL bar, thumbs up so ppl stop raging

[SuperMABAM]

@Andrew24769 ok dumb ass, which & there's about 5

[AQWGhostOfChaos]

What's the point of the new bar, aside from annoying the hell out of us?

[SomethingPipeRelated]

STARCRAFT 2 IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've slept 6 hours since midnight tuesday

[andeath445]

these are the kind of games machinima desperately needs gameplay of.

[AgemanSSBB]

Should i get Starcraft 2 even though i dont really fancy these kind of games? Im thinking of getting it...

[BeyondOrwell]

@AgemanSSBB

if you're not into these kind of games you'll have a hard time with the mp of sc2 because 95 - 99% of the players will be better than you.

and just for the singleplayer... i'd say it's not worth it.

[MaxFlared]

@AgemanSSBB get it the game is amazing. much better than mw2 and those other overrated games. this game is a masterpiece

[AgemanSSBB]

@MaxFlared I would get it but i just realized i dont have enough room for the game on my comp

[semitope]

@MaxFlared no.. it is not. If you want a quality RTS go play company of heroes. Released years ago and still better

[MaxFlared]

@semitope i have been playing company of heroes for 3 years. i know about it more than you. but starcraft 2 has much more choices and paths for your gamestyle. the game gets the most out of your brain. company of heroes doesnt focus on base building and skills of your soldiers. there are some additional skills but not much. for starcraft 2 you get enormous amounts of everything it goes so deep in the strategic factor. you havent even played starcraft 2. th estory is better as well as gameplay

[semitope]

@MaxFlared so... where does this assumption that you know company of heroes better than me come from? Why are you saying I haven't played SC2? I am about to continue the campaign right now...

I won't argue it much but I think there is a lot more depth in the gameplay in CoH than what starcraft offers.

[MaxFlared]

@semitope if you think company of heroes is better go watch the new review for starcraft 2 on gametrailers. it got 9.5 while company of hero had 8.9. company of heroes is very realistic but the strategic factor goes to starcraft. starcraft 1 still has more people playing than than any of strategy games combined. starcraft is a legen and starcraft 2 exceeds its limits. go play the game it is 10 times better than company of heroes. more units, more choices, more special moves, more add ons

[Eirith]

@MaxFlared

What about the CAMPAIGN? New features does not = a better game.

[spire110]

@MaxFlared How the hell does watching someone else's opinion make a game any better?

[alienpope11]

@semitope u think company of heroes is better? :O HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA that is just great. u need to play starcraft first. becouse it is the best programed game ever programed. it is sick that blizzard managed to create such an awesome game!

[semitope]

@alienpope11 yeah, most people would say the same. The game IS colorful and all...

btw I am playing it right now...

[shutton19]

@semitope ninja panda

[Eirith]

@alienpope11

You are another graphics whore who thinks that fancy new features and shiny things = a good game. A game needs depth, storyline, A DECENT PLOT. I enjoy Starcraft 2, but you can't live up to 11 years of hype, and I was disappointed.

[Jaws210x]

@Eirith The Campaign was the best storyline that was covered in one game in my opinion.

[GordanMFreeman]

can somebody give an honest review of this game i am thinking of getting it and i cant decide (mainly because im not a pc gamer)

please and thank you

[naruxhinatreyy]

@GordanMFreeman

Faggot goback to your 360 fucking MW2 shit, stop wasting your time.LOL.

[GordanMFreeman]

@naruxhinatreyy okay can anybody tell me something helpful?

[blazinenigma69]

Another decade then we'll see SC3

[AgemanSSBB]

@blazinenigma69 What even took so long for this one to come out?

[Sylverias]

Oh.. and best RTS ever made after not even playing it for 24hrs.. fanboy gush much?

[houldendub]

@Sylverias or maybe it's just a good game? jesus christ you faggots putting "OMG ONLY FANBOYS WILL LIKE THIS" is so fucking stupid. of course fanboys are going to like it thats why they're fucking FANBOYS. state the obvious why not dickface. and wtf are you on about "grinding to an RTS", shut the fuck up and play the game, if you want a trial code PM me cos you BLATENTLY haven't plaed it faggot.

[lastoneinspace]

@Sylverias He played the beta for days and days

[Sylverias]

So they've found a way to introduce grinding to an RTS.. brilliant.

[philfemu]

there're some really fun missions, especially the break out and ghost missions

[TheChe369]

this doesnt look like world of warcraft it was better than this starcraft thing



[ScubaSteveTF2]

put spoiler alert on this plz

[oiiSTEVEiio]

@ScubaSteveTF2 there isnt a spoiler lol

[wrothstarkiller]

this will work well on a new laptop, right?

[mw2izstr8]

wow... this is what video games are reduced to, shit gameplay, ive played starcraft before, trashed it after playing it twice, the starcraft series are the most shitty and pointless p2p games ever made, they are fucking retarded and only played by gay ass korean fags who have no life. How can u even play this shit when theres so many other games in the market!!!

[MAGO2695]

@mw2izstr8 What do you mean " this is what videos games are reduced to"? RTS's have been around for awhile it's nothing new.

[TheH0lyBiscuit]

@mw2izstr8 Your face!

[Modernwarfare2biatch]

[stickDK123]

[inthebutte]

Well tickle my vagina and give me an alabama hot pocket im goin nigger huntin!

[Rhythem45]

@inthebutte what?

[Tylerableification]

how can you say its the best RTS ever if you've only played one day. I thought the same thing the first week of MW2....look where we are now... :(

[Balrual]

Not gonna bother listing the things I dislike about this game, as anyone who cares about SC and/or SC2 already knows them.

Sadly, due to the glaring omissions I can't find a single reason to purchase this 1/3 ass of a game.

[jamesundeee]

@Balrual they're all showing single player

the multiplayer will be played for years

[mrpwnization]

nice

[guitarsANDcars39]

wtf??? Starcraft II commercial on a starcraft II video
