    Did anyone try this? I attempted it like 10 times. At my best I got it down to 1 remaining comp. He the ROFLMAO rolled over me. Insane is too insane. They can do stuff that players can't do, I heard Blizzard even gets the insanes extra resources in the beginning. Will take a long time to get that achievement. Anyone here get that one?

    1 vs 7 should be very hard, if not impossible. Ideally, they'll improve AI as they go along and make it even harder.
    I mean, it's 1 vs 7!

    How does a 1v7 even work? Do you just spawn right next to your enemies? LOL. That would be so freaking hard.

    Yea. You spawn surrounded by enemies and they rush, so you have to super fast macro and turtle like crazy. They also seem to have map vision, as any attempt to expand was immediately attacked.

    There shouldn't even be an achievement for something like that. If the "insane" ai can be beaten 7 v 1, then it obviously isn't insane enough. That, or the separate AI's don't act as a proper team.

    It's FFA. The only award for beating Insane AI comps in teams, is 1v2 Insane AIs MELEE. Keep in mind in the FFA you can be attacked by 3-4 Insane comps early on. I dare you to beat an Insane comp 1v1. I bet their will be very very few people that can get the 1v2 insane comp achievement.

    1v1 Insane is not very difficult as long as you play defensively, though I do imagine 1v2 Insane would present a challenge.

    Oh, I thought you mean that beating a team of 7 insane AI's vs you alone was the achie. Fail. ^^

    I am pretty sure that would be unwinnable, or at least as unwinnable as something could get.

    Bliz likes having a high bar for achivement...they will probably be more suprised then anyone if someone manages to achive it.

    The hardest part about fighting an insane AI is surviving the first 5-8 minutes...after that strategies and tactics diversify enough for a smart player to beat an insane AI.

    If you have trouble (which most people should), just fight with an AI on your side to help out. My friend and I can take an insane AI out together, but solo I cant get past the first really hard push. (yet...its been close a few times)

    Insane AI gets full map knowledge all the time...and I beleive they also get something like 7 minerals per trip and 5? gas. (2-3 more per trip) so no matter what your unit output...the computer's will be better.

    Maybe insane is the code word meaning "For Koreans only".

    LMFAO!

    They didn't start out very well then with world of warcraft. Haven't played something with such easy to get awards in years. Bejeweled takes longer to get something cool then that game. Hopefully sc2 will be more of a challenge.

    SC2 players don't require rewards for their $$$/month like WoW players

    Here's a vid of HuskyStarcraft rambling and beating an Insane AI 1v1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLYh37SUyCw

    For 7 FFA Insane AI, the apparent trick is to go Terran, load up SCVs and fly over to an Island expo. Basically build up your army while everyone kills each other. Cheap, but works.

    no, that's another difficulty level altogether. it goes:

    easy
    medium
    hard
    insane
    insane (computer cheats)
    Korean AI

    I did something similar, except I didn't float. Fast teched to factories with a couple bunkers and quick planetary. Held off about 4 insane attacks, but i was slowly weakened while they killed each other. Eventually the last Insane AI just rolled over me, just constantly throwing waves of infantry and a few siege tanks, keep in mind I had about ten siege tanks. So he would sacrifice massive armies just to get one bunker or tank, or one buildings, and if I tried to expand it would be instantly destroyed. Ran out of resources and he crushed me. I didn't realize their were islands on that map...
