Bracket looks hype! Definitely looking forward to this.

Does Sheth still compete? I loved watching his stream but it looks like he hasn't streamed since December. Seems like he casts more now

Never beat WoL campaign.. is it that retarded or should I beat it first?

His wrists started hurting and he was (is?) trying to lose some weight, so he isn't playing that much. I'm not sure when he is coming back though, he wasn't that amazing and the skill level is only getting higher, so he might turn into Incontrol.

Looking at the MLG bracket I get flashbacks to open seasons of GSL, you know quite a few of those matches will be simple stomps.

Gameplay is still top notch, the story is wearing it's pants on it's head.

Pretty much every mission is a bit different and the achievements for optional objectives are great and make you change the way you approach the mission.

so....the same as the previous game.
oh blizzard....you fucked it up big time.shame!

I don't mind the gimmicky stuff that adds pressure, at least that means you have to hurry and can't dick around.

If by that you mean "replay mission on normal because achievement goals are almost impossible on brutal". Most achievements are just "get the mission done really well". There's no gimmick achievement I recall, at least in the first 5 or so planets that I've done so far.

Thats what happens when MLG forces participation by region and not actually the best players

Outside of a few specific missions when you can't I've taken the 2base max Corpser Roach + Hydra and a-move the map. Brutal in WoL actually required you to think a bit but I'm not getting that in HOTS. Probably since in WoL they really limited your cash flow but in HOTS you can very easily max out and just wander the map with a kill squad.

I don't get it? That looked like fun.

Right, never thought he was absolutely amazing either but he was fun to watch. Guy literally never got mad.. unless he was playing LoL. I remember the wrist injuries and thinking that's what happens when you play video games 12 hours a day, are possibly obese, and most definitely have diabetes (watch how much water he drinks). Oh well, I guess I will find someone else to watch.

Play it through on Brutal, come back for the achieves... give this one a B.

Go play WoW then and raid, cause that's what that was...

For those of you who have come back to this thread because of the release of hots ( like me ), here is a list of multiplayer changes:

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, sC returning to SC2, joins fxo!

sC was one of my favorite Terrans to watch. Still probably one of the most memorable games for me was sC vs Losira on Terminus in the GSL. Plus who can forget his game vs Nestea on Crossfire.

anyone have sales numbers? please tell me D3 fiasco, and SC2 itself, hurt sales alot.

Reading this thread sure doesn't sound like it. A whole lot of. , "well, Im going to get it anyway"

Went on a marathon today and beat the campaign. Not sure why everyone is bitching it wasn't great but wasn't terrible. My real gripe is that it was too damn easy. I beat it on Brutal and I think the only time I failed a mission was

because we mostly get it for multiplayer, but it wouldn't hurt if they fucking tried not to copy WoW like every other video game studio these days.
