If you picked NA you can only play in NA. You can buy a Euro copy and play there but expect lag .
Just owned more newbs in a 2vs2. And now I have a buddy, Almighty.
Good thing we got in early while there are still good names. When this thing has 10 million players there will be titles like (*&^*&%)*%GOdSmaCKKingSa. Thats gonna look stupid.
Can I play against Koreans and Chinese, or just North Americans?
So has anybody beaten the campaign yet? How many hours are we looking at here?

cpu, a game like this would benefit a lot if it used at least a quad core...
I wonder how well my system can play this game, or even if it can play it. I meet the min requirements hehe. Anyone care to shoot me a guest pass?? :-D
Supposedly some hardcore bastards did it in 10 hours. (Those are the guys that MP for 12 hours a day, every day.)
Normal people take longer.

EDIT: OK, most recent match on the practice league all I did was spam marines, cuz thats all I know how to do. Opponent said its not cool and takes all the fun out of the game.
Is it considered poor form to always do this? Will I not be cool and well loved on Bnet?
Can I just observe matches? Do they have a Ghost mode? I cant find it.
your opponent was a whiny bitch, you can do w/e you want. but it probably won't work once you get out of the practice league.
He was smart. He moved up the tech tree quick and nuked me 4 times before I knew WTF was going on. Luckily I had 8 Command centers by that time and he was still playing with one. He was actually much better than me, but not used to marine spams.
Strange he was on the practice league. Maybe he was just hoping for an easy win with nukes against a newb.
mass marines as annoying as they are is VERY good vs most classes, with STIM + shield.... I hate you already for picking mass marines..
The guy did sound good, got outplayed by you and QQ'd to death.
What is QQ?
Contrary to popular belief, QQ is not a set of crying eyes. It actually originated with the advent of Warcraft II. On battlenet, you could press ALT+Q+Q to immediately exit the match and program. Thus the term "QQ" was to tell people to just quit because they are unskilled. The term later developed and lost it's origin and is usually mistaken as crying eyes. In contemporary gamer culture, QQ has become the mainstream emoticon for crying eyes, though it is still often used in it's traditional sense.
you've got that medi drop ship which heals and the mototcycle thing that shoots flames!
Hah urban dictionary has this as originating from Warcraft II. I seriously did not know this:
medic = barracks + tech lab
medvac = barracks, then factory, then starport (extra 250/175 + ~3min)

I believe thats the point. Its too easy for Terrans to heal with medics. Zerg heal on their own but slowly, and Protoss only regen shields.
Going through through the campaign I see how medics are a huge benefit considering you have such a wide variety of infantry. And if you upgrade them in the armory then you only need like 2 to keep a huge army in fighting condition.
8 command centers?!?!? How long did that game go?
Not long. When able I make two at a time and float them over to resource spots after a quick scan. Thats how I spam a hundred marines quickly. I make two barracks near each command center, with reactors. If the hundred get slaughtered I can have a hundred more in minutes. And the 8 bases with SCV's keep the minerals flowing. Best part is that strategy only needs a little bit of gas, not much.
I got into spamming after playing Supreme Commander.

what race was the other player? Cause if they were Toss they failed epically. Marines are so easily countered with Psionic storms.
I'm assuming the other guy was Terran because he said he got nuked twice.
wasn't a problem in SC:BW.
oh well, sucks for me since i'm a terran player.
