PC. What else?

It's also out on PS2, and Xbox I believe. If your computer can handle it, get it for PC. It's well worth it.

ZBOX? what the hell is that thing?
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

A very stealth third-person shooter. You don't just run around and shoot things, you have to sneak, use spiffy gadgets and such.

[spam] Anyone played Metal Gear Solid 2: SoL? Do we actually consider that thing a game? [/spam]

Terrans rule all. I'm trying to get some buds to play it this week. I can't remember, can you spawn starcraft for multiplay?

SoL was an awesome game. Everyone complained so much about it. It was just more plot-based than people expected. If it wasn't so over-exaggerated by our ADD-stricken generation, more people would think it was an amazing game.

I liked the plot, but there was more movie in it than game.

Not really. I mean, with MGS, it's assumed that you're going to go through the whole area and kill and dispose of every enemy. A lot of people kind of whipped through the game.

I was a little dissapointed with the shortness of the game (videos included) but it was one of the early PS2 games, and they were working way too hard towards looks, IMO.

josh: I think you can use a spawned version only if the player you spawned it from is hosting. The original copy of your spawn has to be hosting.

....Protoss all the way! but they're better with broodwar (expansion) :cry: i miss those days sooo much.

I always liked Zerg. You can't beat a huge onslaught of Guardians and Mutalisks, along with some Hydralisks for good luck. Great strategy, but it takes a long time to build it up. You have to get the perfect method down pat.

:nod: good strategy. Its easy enough to beat with corsairs or possible with even arbitors and goons, but its hard to take offence against somone using that, cause its good for defence, and to defend against it you need to keep all your troops back.
sci storm also works.

Yeah, there are always strategies to defeat any plan. A lot of it depends on practice, skill and luck.

Guardians are great to take out missle turrets and other stationary defence posts. :nod:

Science vessels can cripple nearly any rush.

Zerg? Bam with irradiate!

Protoss? Bam with EMP!

It helps at least. :roll:
