Ok someone help me out. I cannot handle Temple of the Past with Raynor on brutal unless my opponent can carry me through the first couple waves, I can't establish a critical mass of marines before I get ran over.. Should I just be copying a really aggressive multiplayer opening for that map? Also possible I'm not managing my first two calldowns very well.

*edit*

disregard, maybe I was just too tired the other night, had no problem with brutal temple this time without being carried.

After quite a bit of brutal I now think Karax is kind of awful. In no way are his troops worth the +50% build cost, which means all you really have are cannons and monoliths which, considering the lack of splash damage, are pretty weak on brutal without Colossi to back them up. Maybe nudge the troop cost down to +25%? I mean granted he's still more than capable of brutal but I think he pulls the least amount of weight on his own.

Yeah, but at least it made me watch his Code A games. He's still nice to watch here and there.

LotV is so much more entertaining to watch than HotS. This IEM has been pretty good for games.

Community Feedback Update - March 11 - Forums - StarCraft II

Well then... :p

I"m guessing they will do some updates to the map to bring it into LOTV standards I'd imagine. Unless they change the spawning, it should be "cross quadrant" only so you really only have to scout 2 spots.

The fourth map is (8)KorhalCarnageKnockout. There are many places, depending on the flow of expansions, where players will really need to strategize around when to break Rocks and Rock Towers both on the offense and defense.

We would also like to acknowledge the mapmaker, Sidian. When we look at his maps, even the ones that aren't used on the ladder, we really admire his work. We know how difficult it is to be creative while still thinking about game balance when making maps, and Sidian is a solid example of someone who clearly tries his best on both fronts.

At least Eye of the Storm size.

Come on now.

It was apparently all David Kim who decided to write that. I figured it was Psione (I speak with him on Skype on and off) but he told me he had nothing to do with it. Mmmm. Blizzard:Sidian Soon!??! haha

So after the 3rd expac came out which I didnt even notice? They are already releasing some kind of Nova missions dlc..... wtf blizz? For $15 pre, $23 release no less... And I may be reading wrong but in fine print appears it's 9 missions spread across 3 mission "packs" and this is merely the first....

I think you're about right. I think all 9 are supposed to be released by the end of the year. I already pre-purchased them but I'm a fiend for Starcraft single player missions and I'm interested to see how they use the Ghost's mechanics in a SP fashion. These missions take place after Legacy I believe but they've said some will take place at different times in the Starcraft story. It would be interesting to have some Duran missions at some point possibly following Brood Wars.

Chain posts ahoy!!!

It's a fun little mission pack, if the remaining 6 are up to the standard of the first 3 then I'd call it a good investment. The army customization in this campaign should be pretty interesting deeper in too. Nova gets 5 equipment slots, and you can choose one piece of gear per slot, finding more gear as you proceed through the campaign. So she can choose between stealth armor or reaper armor (loses stealth but gains cliffwalk, more armor, and more hps), choose between the standard ghost rifle or a pretty badass shotgun, etc.

As for customizing units, you get a certain amount of single use upgrades to spread throughout your troops, and can re-equip them as you see fit. So there's an upgrade that gives your siege tanks a jump jet on a cooldown (lets you move siege tanks to high ground for example). But if you put it on your siege tanks, you can't give it to your hellbats who get a charge attack with that upgrade. Similarly, if you give spider mines to your reapers, you can't equip them on your tanks for that mission. Should be pretty interesting deeper in the campaign.
