STARCRAFT 2 CAMPAIGN GUID HOW TO
It was hard, wasn't it? You had to go fast to keep your balance, but how could you go fast if you didn't know how to ride a bike? You just had to do it. It's like the first time you ever tried to ride a bicycle. Unfortunately there is no magical way to counteract this fear. Starcraft has a reputation for being one of the most cutthroat and self-esteem-shattering experiences in existence. It is the biggest challenge for newbies to come to terms with when they first enter multiplayer.

This guide will hopefully explain why there is actually strategy behind the "Zerg Rush."įor those of you who have already started padding your Starcraft IQ, click the links below to jump over to the sections you want to see. Uninnovative, stale, commercial RTS made for the masses. A contest to see who can click the fastest. Rock, paper, scissors with better graphics. They end up having a wrong picture of the game and depressingly go on to become people described in reason #2.Ģ) A lot of the exact same people, some who might even work for major game companies or maybe had to review Starcraft 2 for certain famous publications, look down on multiplayer Starcraft. Many times, they learn wrongly or skip over very basic things. There is simply too much information for a newcomer to even want to learn. I have created this thread due to 2 reasons:ġ) A lot of people, even people who have played RTS for years, who consider themselves experienced fans of the genre, still fail to grasp the inner workings of multiplayer Starcraft. I wasn't actually sure if this belonged in SC2 Strategy or in SC2 General, but I figured if someone was looking for a guide like this, they would go look at the Strategy section first. All comments, criticisms, suggestions, and general feedback welcome! And so, for the first time, I've decided to finally get off my ass and contribute to my beloved TL, which has provided me with so much entertainment over the years. Most of the discussion on TL actually flies right over the heads of many. This is especially important for TL with the influx of all the new members because of SC2. This is something that is missing from every Starcraft website on the internet: a proper intro to the game for newbies or people who think they know the game, but don't.
