Anti rushing?

Start practicing in SC!

 

I've lost my copy, though I'm awfully tempted to go buy another one because all this talk of StarCraft2 has got me in the mood for an epic uber-long game with several skirmishes culminating in one massive battle.

Good times

 

Yes i really hope the static defenses for SC2 would have dramatic improvement......the seige tanks are great as static def
what i'd like to see is improved protoss and zerg static def, the photon cannon is rather weak, and the sunken colony aren't that reliable either.....there should be like advanced photon cannon or advanced sunken colony......

Boy wouldn't it be great if we can upgrade photon cannons so that they launch scarabs???

 

like what oph said, rushing is part of the game.. one of the main strats is rising above your opponets early in the game, as waiting for them to get stronger is pointless, getting faster at building takes practice and it dosent hurt to look online on some tips that work for other people that are either anti-rush or help you to build a small army in the early minutes of the game

 

I'm happy there's going to be more options for the early-game rush, and some tech tree modifications just for rushing. Maybe it'll turn SC into slightly less of a click-fest.

 

ah yeah click-fest, does anyone remember APM (actions per minute)? someone suggested that it's a tool to measure a person's skill.

If most victories are achieved via rushing, then that means the units in the higher tech trees don't get used much, which defeats the purpose of putting so much work on it (mothership, anyone?). And at the start of each game, it's very exhausting having to try to produce as much combat units as possible to counter rushes.

 

3 words? statsis feild is 2???

 

Make sense in your posts or don't post at all, please.

 

sry i forgot to quote

o and sry i read that wrong or interpreted it the wrong way i thought it meant statsis field was 3 words i get it now "nuclear launch detected" sry

 

This doesn't make sense to me either. Try using proper grammar and spelling next time.

 

just for you Bumbaloe I'll translate what Uchihaltachi said:

"Sorry I read the wrong thing. I thought Praetor Fenix said that 'Stasis Field' is 3 words, and I corrected him because 'Stasis Field' is 2 words. He must of meant 'Nuclear Launch Detected' has 3 words in it"

 

I get it lol.

Anyway, this topic is about rushing. Let's see, I always try to rush. It works half the time, so I win about 50% of my games. But then I start playing more skilled players and my noob rush tactics no longer work! hehehe :'(

Hey bumbaloe, aren't you supposed to be on some camp?

 

I learned today that we are leaving at 11 o'clock and not right when I get up.

 

I agree.

 

If an average game lasts 15min for experts, that means I'm quite noob at the game Because usually my games last around 45min - 60min. Although I rarely rush offensively, I often have trouble defending my base against early attacks.

the "common rules" of "no rush in the 1st 10min" that some players state before the match is very helpful for me to build up my base. There needs to be an option at the beginning of each game. The match starter can click on the Option and each player cannot launch an attack on anyone until 10mins into the game, nor can they build up their troops "within" the enemy's base.

 

Why not build troops within the enemy's base? If the guy went through all the trouble to fly his Barracks over there, do you think he'd not use it?

 

LOL fly his barracks over.....
I meant something that can disable enemy from sending troops into the enemy's base before the "no-rush" time is up.
ofc they can build up their forces OUTSIDE the base

 

;DSorry, when I saw that "within" I actually thought you were talking about producing units in the confines of his base.

 

Would there be a better method to counter early rushes apart from just madly pumping out basic units?

 

Yes, garrison your SCVs in your Command Centre, liftoff, and land on the enemy, crushing them into oblivion.
