RUSH or TURTLE?

My style depends on my mood, but I use ghosts, dark templars, and cloakable units very often.

 

i like masses of dark templar and archons, dark templar to easily kill most units and Archons to support them and destroy any pesky detectors

 

My strategy is usually to identify something really crazy, yet awesome to do, then try to do it. The problem is that crazy awesome things tend to be unsafe bets, so I tend to get beaten down. When I play more "seriously" I tend to do better, but it isn't as fun....

 

@10-Neon- That's why we have custom maps.

I think I might try a Nuke Rush in SC2.

 

I go for the early tech/boom where I set up mining operations all over the map at the expense of an army so if the enemy doesnt attack I steamroll him later

 

By the way, about mines.. it doesnt look like terrans have mines anymore... or do they?

 

Uh, the Reapers have had them for a while.

 

they aint mines goddammit! they are bombs! I am talking about explosives you hide under the surface wich explode upon enemy contact!

 

Spider mines then.

Uh. No idea.

 

maybe the new siege tanks and banshees are the knew ground defensive combo. The will totally rape attackers without detectors in just a few silly seconds. And fleeing attackers, well, they get hunted down really fast by the copters i heard

 

Chris Benoit goes for smother.

 

in SC2 im just gonna create a big army of reapers and kill every single enemy worker from behind

 

I love to harass. It drives most players I play against crazy, and more than a few of them have quit in mid-battle.

One thing that seems to piss them off something awful is sending hallucinated carriers (we're talking upwards of 50) to the center of their base. Then, after a few "boy who cried wolf" moments, I send in the real thing. Gets 'em every time.

 

Right now, harrassing seems to be the most popular tactic. Plenty of people dont have any special way to play, and many guys likes long games. Vote yall who hav´nt!

 

In SC1 I defend myself first, take my time, create a fortress around my bases. But I have not enough money and units to attack the enemy. All my units are inside my fortress

 

It depends...
For Terran, I will definitely turtle up my base and strike them with harassments until I have a good army.
Protoss, I am really good at Turtling/Rushing with a great army at the same time... Hallucinated Carriers and Archons, along with real ones of course.

 

I picked harrasment but realy it is a mix of that and late tech.  Harrass them until I get late tech and then finish them off.  I early game I can see myself making reapers to do raids with while leaving most my main army to defend and by tier 2 I'll be doing Banshee raids.  That is what I'm really looking forward to.  Wraith were stealthy and all but their ground attack was so weak that you usualy couldn't kill all their workers, and almost never kill their CC, before you had to run.  I don't know if Banshees will do shit against building but they won't have any workers left.

PS I mainly play terran. With Protoss I don't do as much harrassing but will still probably turtle until at least tier 2 and Zerg I can't really say atm. I'm usually more seriously agreesive with the Zerg since that is kinda their thing.

 

i like to attack a lil, defend a lil, attack a lil, defenda lil. normally i like to join no rush games...

 

Uh.. well many players like harras, that yes is PRO style you must be good on it and as well good to stay alive and counter it.
Much depend what is my enemy doing, i don't like playng around without know what he is building. For example 20 minutes of only techs for at the end see that he made for example air units and i massed tanks. That's not quite good isn't it? So my tactic is to scout my enemy from time to time, building not many but strategical defenses and make incursions in his base/s or rpevent him to expand. I am not in favor or long games and neither for rushes.

 

for me, i can't really macro out a long game becuase i get bored and tired, so i just try to end it quick with a dt drop .
