To be honest, it has been awhile since I last played Starcraft 2. But yesterday I logged in and really rocked most of the games I played. I started out with co-op (yeah… I know it’s lame) for a few games to get my feet wet again.
Then before I jumped into actual games, I remembered a few strategies from Shokz. I was a little fuzzy on these strategies and had to log back in to the members area to get a refresher. That took about 5 minutes and then I was back to playing. Just remember that ALT+TAB is your friend when you are figuring things out.
Moving into my first game, I started up my aggressive playing style again. Apparently I was bumped back into that ranking filter again because I hadn’t played in awhile. But I did scare the poop out of the other guy I was playing against – so much so that he left before I destroyed even 25% of his base.
I figured that it must have been a fluke and a complete newbie giving me that win. So I joined another game and again I played really aggressively against 2 players this time. My ally wasn’t too great, but he did give me some support (or cannon fodder as I like to call them – lol).
What do you know?… Another win baby!
I kept playing for a few more hours and then called it a night. I lost one of my games out of those seven, but no big deal.
I was just posting this to give you guys a look at a returning players journey. If you’re good when you leave SC2, then you’ll be good when you return. Patches and updates might change small factors in the game, but the overall strategies in the game keep working. Just make sure that your overall strategies are backed by bread and butter techniques!
When I first started playing Starcraft 2 multiplayer with Terran, I really didn’t use Mules. This was a big mistake. Mules can give you a big advantage with all the extra minerals they can produce.
I really like the colossus in Starcraft 2 because it reminds me of War of the Worlds. All we’re missing is Tom Cruise running around screaming while you destroy your enemy’s base.
