Starcraft 2 (Info on first post!)

No one ever used them. They were in the "underused" group of units in SC1. Like firebats and vultures.

??? Underused? I admit firebats were very situational at best. But Ultra's saw very common use in late game ZvP. Vultures were key units in TvP so I dunno what your getting at.

 

[Frolossus]

firebats are used in TvZ cause they hit under swarm

 

[Cynan Machae]

Ultras are very important in ZvP and seens quite often in ZvT.

Vultures are a staple unit in both TvP and TvT, and are seen quite often in TvZ, wether it be when palying mech or vs ultras late game.

And firebat, yea. They are pretty much only used in the early game or vs swarm.

Firebat == answer to Zealot

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

got in the beta, add nightss.nightss for some games.

 

[Frown]

Got it yesterday. I have to set the graphics settings to "Crap". :D

 

[Mic_128]

I always stuck a firebat or two in my outer bunkers

This is like, painfully wrong.

 

[F8AL]

Well, I did play a lot of Starcraft on Battle.Net a few years ago and I barely saw anyone use ultralisks, firebats or vultures.

Firebats are only good against light armored units anyways. They blow when they have to fight heavily armored ones. I don't have that much experience with ultralisks tbh so I never used them. And vultures are good for hit and runs/mine fields I suppose.

Did you know: A non-upgraded Firebat deals less damage to large enemies than an SCV does.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Me too. They were important for pushing Zealots and Zerglings off.

Did you know: A non-upgraded Firebat deals less damage to large enemies than an SCV does.

Break this down numerically. Are you referring to DPS or something?

 

[Frown]

An SCV deals 5 damage with "Normal" attack speed.

A non-upgraded Firebat without Stim Pack deals 16 damage with "Normal" attack speed, but it has concussive damage meaning it only deals 25% damage to all units in the Large class. The result is 4 damage at "Normal" attack speed.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

SCVs attack slower

 

[Brightside6382]

SCVs attack slower

He said they both have normal attack speed w/o stim so it should be relatively the same. It's just one of those funny number comparisons. Plus its not surprising considering how amazing SCV's were in BW.

 

[Frown]

Nope, SCVs attack faster actually. They can even defeat a single Zergling.

 

[Jane]

lol, poor lil firebats. for how BO$$ and hardcore they were when they spoke, they sure did suck ):

 

[gunterrsmash01]

My memory sucks lol

 

[Z'zgashi]

The goliaths were kick *** tho

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Is there a unit that plays the role of scourge for Zerg? I'm sad they're gone.

 

[Matador]

Corruptors are good anti-air...aside from that though...lol

Scourges were one of a kind awesome.

I absolutely love Infestors.

 

[Frown]

To be honest, Corruptors aren't really too good. I think hydras cover the anti-air role quite well.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Corruptors are supposed to be the new devourers though
All the new units seem to be completely new or replace an old unit, but the scourge is no where in sight

 

[shanus]

To be honest, Corruptors aren't really too good. I think hydras cover the anti-air role quite well.

corruptors are zerg's best answer to collosus, phoenix (better with hydras though), and void rays.

 

[ThePrime]

beta is mad fun. My only complaint is how the division/league system works, and that getting in to plat seems a little too easy.

 

[Lovage]

loool i do not understand how the ladders work. i just won a match and i went from rank4 bronze to rank9 silver O.o

 

[choknater]

i guess they thought of baneling for that purpose

 

[Mic_128]

Think of it like a tier list. You went from the middle of bottom tier and are now at the bottom of middle tier.

SC2's getting censored in Korea so that it'll be rated 12+ which means it'll still be safe to have it on TV over there. They're making the blood black, removing cussing and smoking refferences.

[F8AL]

Just got accepted into the beta.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

 

[Brightside6382]

I seriously think blizz is just nerfing P for the hell of it now.

 

[ThePrime]

I seriously think blizz is just nerfing P for the hell of it now.

I play P and it was needed lol, the changes are fair.

 

[gunterrsmash01]

Noooooooooo ultras

 

[Z'zgashi]

Why nerf ultras?

 

[Brightside6382]

I play P and it was needed lol, the changes are fair.

I can see the FF nerf being needed to make Ultra's more viable but the decrease in range for void rays? TvP is already one of the most unbalanced matchups in the game P needs something against T.

 

[T-block]

ultras weren't nerfed lol. they got buffed like crazy

damage increase on armored, the ability to walk over forcefields, and the frenzy spell that seems designed to be used on ultras

also, frown forgot to mention this change for ultras: - Damage versus structures increased from 60 to 75.

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

The new patch is super glitchy. I lost my mini-map. Seriously, it's all black, and I cannot even click on it to jump to any locations. I am handicapped to panning manually.

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Is Blizzard thinking about fixing that mini-up soon?

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Do you have the same problem? The people I played with said they had no such problem.

 

[Frown]

Husky said he had that problem when Playing 4v4.

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Do you have the same problem? The people I played with said they had no such problem.

Yes I have the same problem =(

And yeah, Husky has been getting the same problems.
