RUSH or TURTLE?

I've never actually played a game that qualifies as "long." I think the longest game I played was only 35 mins long.

 

Well 35 minutes is quite long ^^ when i play with my friends we decide to max tech everything and then fight that is actually fun

 

I do not know how i will play in starcraft2. i am pretty sure that it will not be the same as in starcraft where i would harass while building up a force to decimate my ENEMIES!!

Then again theres always the reaver drop

usually the dark temp and dragoon combo worked nicely though to hit a base from the front... i was never good with dropships though bcuz of there responsiveness

Heres a question. People who were at blizzcon what did you do there? Did you try harassing or did you turtle or try a early rush? Tell us about ur strategies please!

 

with the terrans new focus on fast agile units I will be doing a lot of harassing workers. Im looking forward to finding out how many reapers it takes to bomb a command center to oblivion.

 

meh i do a little of everything depending upon the opponent. so meh.

 

4 pool rush ftw !!!

 

rushing is my fav. strat... but if your opponent is entertaining i like going for late tech haha

 

rushing defeats the purpose of the game to me lol. i like long battles cause it truly test the skill of players.

 

im gonna harass everyone to oblivion, except the turtlers, i wont get near them, i think id have a fairly decent defence if someone tries to rush me and big muscles are easy to kill with special abilities



idea for an anti-rushing feature: increase the map size

 

I rush when I have the opportunity. I tech and expand when I'm not being harassed.

 

Only get to high tech when your opponent is a passive noob, in any other case, a lot of harassing at recourses to force them to create a lot of defensive stuff, kill it with some special abilities and then bring in the big guns with some fast support units to destroy all that lives. ^^

So harassing is my style 4ever. ;D

 

i rush marines, and when they're out i build up siege tanks and more mariens... at that point i'm bombarding the crap out of them while my new marines are sticking close to my siege tanks to cover them. rush rush rush !

 

a successful siege tank rush were you properly defend your tanks can be pretty devastating. But you wont see it happen in pro games.

 

High dmg, low-med hp.

I climb the tech tree and upgrades and kill you before you kill me. Unfortunately the disadvantage is I'm weak early game but I'm good enough not to get killed/lose probes etc.

 

who said i play pro though?

 

All i meant was that i´ve never seen Siege Tanks being massed in pro games, like Korean ones. All Terran players most likely have a few, but the opponents are to good at micro to be Siege Tank rushed thought. Ofcourse, you can enjoy this in not-so-pro-games, just like I will do.
But my goal is to get atleast above average.

 

yea but if you mean microing by locking down my siege tanks , theres a sufficient anti micro for that. restoration . medics and scv's perform wonders dont they

 

don't you watch any tvp games?
tvt are mainly dropships and goliaths,
tvz are mainly m&m and sv,
tvp are mass tanks and vultures

 

yep, i´ve seen, i have just never seen anyone going 12 siege tanks or something like that. they have like tops 8, normaly fewer. (in the early parts of the game, we are talking about siege tank rushing right? )

 

I prefer to build up my defence before ever attacking. I think rushing defeates the purpose of the game, its just not fun that way.

I like to climb the tech tree and build alot of the later units and upgrade all advancements and power ups

Terran: siege tank and battle cruiser
Protoss: carrier and dragoon
Zerg: hydralisk and defiler
