Ok who's got it?

What do you think of it?

Myself, IMO it's fairly shit. So late, graphics & cutscene's as a result are pathetic by current game standards.

Blizzard holding off due to WoW/WOTLK and similar was rather disgusting, but then they knew thier fanbase wouldn't care overall.

SC2 doesnt look "that" much better than WC3:TFT IMO, and that's 8 or so years old now.

Story line i like, campaign on "HARD" is actually a bit of a challenge.

Online so far though is epic fail. Battle.net 2.0 is utter failure. Not having "channels" to talk to people, cannot select the server/realm you wanna play, no clans etc.

Chat system is fken pathetic as well...

So overall I'm far from impressed and still find myself logging back onto WC3 TFT for tournies & so on as it's a more fulfilling game overall.

Yeah i got it, i was quite disappointed however i do like the story and the effort they put into that single player mode.

Otherwise yeah... multiplayer is shit house. Honestly it's so hard to get a LAN game going. Nobody knows whats going on. There's to many sub options... just let me make a bloody game and invite people i want... then the channels.... eck...

But campaign is pretty good. And yeah if you want a challenge i am working my to to hardest setting, insane was it?

Hopefully they bring out some patches for it and fix it up =[

Ye there are clans coming, hopefully that then brings channels and similar.

Its impossible to get a massive 10-way convo going to banter with your mates or organise inhouse games and similar which was a MASSIVe feature of bnet 1.0 (SC1 & WC3).

At least they brought back the features to watch replays with friends (WC3 didnt have this), that is something I'm happy to see return from the SC1 days.

If i CBF'd ill do the campaign on the insane or whatever it is. Hard wasn't "too" bad, given its just like most AI things, mass up and hit hard.

i have this, i was defiantly expecting more since how many years of development? i was expecting something glorious from the massive hype of it all, the graphics are pretty standard, the game-play isnt really that in-depth, its just another command and conquer really. i do however enjoy the online play on the custom games, but still, that dosent make up for years and years of development and hype...

This was the first Starcraft game I have played as I wasn't really interested in it before... so i don't really have anything to compare it to. I did play a bit of Warcraft 3 but that was years ago. I found the story interesting although the Warcraft 3 one is supposed to be a lot better, don't really remember it.

I've played online 20+ times I think and its ok. But I hate playing 2v2 online cause someone will leave within the first few mins or if half their base gets wiped. Match making system feels alright though and making custom games is easy since you can bring your party into the match.

As I was saying in that other thread, there was a stupid bug where it says that you can't connect to battle.net cause its temporarily unavailable. Think it had something to do with when you registered with a certain a region it sometimes makes it a different region without displaying it and so you can't log in. Luckily for me I could log on after about 4 hrs but a lot of people had bought the game on release date and couldn't log on still a week later :bunny:

Won't buy it, Blizzard are dead to me.

DoW2 was pretty good ey.

The matching system, now i've played more and more, is pathetic.

I've barely seen anyone with a 50% ratio or better in ANY ladder.

I'm so far 8/19 or something random team... Some people just had no clue what so ever or players lag out.

So far totally unimpressed. I mid-top score on most games as well, early ladders should be tally-score based to weed out the useless fks...

Ye DoW2 was a top game :P

i only just DL'd the patch, not played it in months lol.

Serious? I love this game.

I've played maybe one level of single player and gave up on it. All my time is devoted to online game play. My win ratio is just over 50%, but that's to be expected as they chuck you in a league equal to your skill level. I've not had a single person leave my game early, unless we'd obviously lost, and that's in maybe 100 games so far. What league are you guys in? I can imagine in lower leagues people giving up early, or just not caring.

The balance is great, there are so many different tactics, tricks and just plain marco you can use to overcome your opponent, and I like the sub standard graphics. It runs on my ancient shitbox!

Try watching some youtube commentaries, I throw them on when I'm eating breakfast etc in the morning. Quick 10min video that I often find really entertaining.

I float around high platinum, although I was initially put in silver/gold for most teams. There is a significant improvement in allies in the higher leagues, obviously. My random allies are usually better than my mates when I play with them.

Hasn't really been my experience. I never played beta and was late to buy it when released. So when I joined the initial placements had had time to adjust. The system takes a bit of time to rank people accordingly, like I said I was placed in Silver to begin with rapidly stomped my way to platinum in all four game types.

Like I said, my mates aren't unskilled, but the player quality (foes and allies a like) are significantly better in platinum. Too good for my liking actually, I enjoy winning and Blizzard refuses to place me again easy opponents :P

Ey?

Given we are on Asia (again, another issue that we are stuck with)... always plenty of people on over there :P

No matter what time of the day, always retards haha.

Starting to AT now rather than Random, see how that goes.

IMO that was rather boring?

Im not really seeing the interest in SC2 that WC3 has/had yet (for me at least anyway).

I've been reading in depth how the matching system works, and initially its shithouse. It does improve overtime but how long that "X" is, no-one knows as Blizzard seem unwilling to disclose this information.

I've managed to get from 35-40% upto almost 50% on RT now, taken a few games to peg it back but slowly getting out of the piles of shit in RT.

AT is going well, 11-3 or something lol

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
