    id have to say my favorite race is Teran.
    First of all Marine plus Medics own!
    Second of all mines own...
    thirdly we have EMP,irridate, lockdown, and dont forget flare/restoration.
    and fourthly we have one of the Baddest units in this game Tanks!

    I am so excited to see what blizzard has in store of us for the terran/zerg races.!!!

    well microing really helps. also, if you decide to play zerg, BASE EXPANSION PWNS.
    go scout with 2 'lings, find other mineral patches, deploy at least 2 hatcheries while making a hydra den, then start massing out hydras like crazy

    personally my favorite is zerg, they are easy to manage and easy to micro, low food cost and low expansion cost. i also know pretty much every hotkey with them, so playing terran or protoss just makes me feel gimp :(

    I like all the 3 races... that´s the main advantage when you play a multiplayer game with other people... they don´t have a clue of what to expect... a zergling rush,,, a zealot deadly kind-of rush... or a cloaked wraith attack,, or any kind of attack..you choose.

    I think I prefer playin´ with terrans,,, because they have the ultimate spy technology... the comsat station... they can discover your plans with that... but you kwon,, that´s just my opinion.

    And the nuclear launch,, it can be a real offensive-defensive strategy,,, you can bluff if you have one missile,,, and it´s funny how people starts to check their units, bases, expansions, serching for the tiny red spot that brings hell´

    Terran because I can annihilate 7 computers on a non-money map with them.
    And they are so versatile

    well, when i first started playing when i was like ten so i thought that the protoss was the best race because they looked cool, but now i can see that the otther two races can be extremly powerful by aplying a bit of strategy. The terrans can be extremly usefull with their floating buildings and wide vrange of units, plus the lack of restrictions on where your buildings can be located. the zerg can create a large army extremly quick by constructing multiple units at the hatchery and the building, being alive. can regenerate automatically. And the protoss still has its charm with its strong units and ability to create multiple building at once with one probe. with all of the pros and cons of the differing races i still think that the protoss are my favorite, but hey that might change at any time.,

    Use supply depots effectively to block off things and put bunkers behind them. You wont get more units that both combined in the beginning so don't even try to win quick by shear strength of arms. Get to tanks quick as you can without sacrificing your defense then you should be able to hold them off for a bit. Keep building up units then go for what you are strong in. Make good combinations (I like Wraiths/tanks/marines with a few sci vessels in there) but you can go with whatever you'd like.

    Well the Confederate was quite evil if not more than the Sons of Korhal.

    Marines were either murderers, rapers, etc.. (mean people :<) or they used an easier way to afford them, go on Terran planets with Dropship, capture some guys, brainwash them to make them think Zerg attacked their town and they saved the guy, leaving them with a big desire to kill some zergs. 90% of the marines were brainwashed and some were literally robots, having no emotions whatsoever and just listening to what their Commander said.

    Then there were the ghosts, yeah, Ghosts were trained since youth and their final exam was at their pre-teen ages (For example Jim Raynor's son which was 12 when he did his final exam). The exam consist of a guy that pull out a gun and put it on your head and you have to kill him before he kills you, if you kill him you become a ghost, Jim's son failed.

    And finally (not really) they used psi emitters to lure zerg into Terrans planets to see if the psis do work (and of course they save a bit of the citizens to be heroes and let the rest to die).

    So yeah the Confederate are pretty much evil and the Sons of Korhal are bad too, but not as bad as the Condeferate. UED ftw.

    The sons of korhal used psi emitters to lure the zerg to Antigua (or some other place that starts with an a) and to Tarsonis. I think the confederates only did it once to a backwater planet.

    definitly zerg cuz they are not rigged, and they dont have as much "magical whatever" skills as much as the stupid terran and protoss
