Hey guys i am almost done downloading starcraft 2 and ive been a big warcraft guy for sometime i was just wondering if anyone could help me decide who i should be out of the 3 factions predominantly, and some tactics for online play.
Ah...A Starcraft 2 thread! YES! Anyway, I usually play Protoss because of the heavy hitters, Korean 4-gate(Heheheheh) and the void ray rush. 3 or 4 Robotic leaves you pretty vulnerable, especially if your opponent is rushing with zerglings. Hit me up sometime, I can help...somewhat...I think...maybe....

Oh wells, I'm just happy that I can talk with you guys about stuff. In particular, being as you two are Protoss - what would be the best times to scout you early in the game, right now I send a sacrificial Overlord in at around the 6:30 mark, but even so not all tech paths are apparent and could something crucial be noticed before that?
Also, Ling scouting - I don't do it much and I should do it much more often, but what do specific actions of Protoss tel lme?
Well I like the terrans, because they are the "golden middle" they can have a affective base defence, they have powerfull units and heavy armor, both they do have their weakneses, every race is balance, every unit is also balanced so there isn't a stronger unit in the game, both units and races depend on your stille of play so recomendation is hard.
I Bought the CE too and never noticed the Thors (mainly because I don't play Terran unless its against comps) ((or just messing around)) and one time someone was like, "why are your thors all weird?" And I was totally at at a loss and I didn't know myself. lol. They are pretty cool looking.
Well, I prefer Terran 'cause they're humans, have nice counters to both races, and are ideal at defense.
Terrans do have nice counters, definitely. A mechanical army is generally the best thing to go for against Zerg being as their Ling / Bling / Muta composition is too deadly against Bio, whereas it should be noted that mech is very nice against Protoss as well.
Protoss has specific tech paths and units that need to be used depending on what you scout. The entire composition of a Zerg is dependant on what the enemy is going - generally I would think that a Terran "takes the lead" in the military forwarding, when it comes to composition. The Zerg reacts to take the reins and it boils down to when the Zerg gets Brood Lord / Ultralisk tech, constantly switching between each one which allows the overwhelming of tech to swallow the Terrans base, since he needs to switch between Vikings and Tanks (bring in Mutalisks if the BL's are dying to Vikings, they can also help pick off tanks).
Also, dang... You're also NA ^^ To me, NA no longer means North American, but Not Applicable
They are pretty cool looking.
CE Thors are OP!!! :P
I would like CE edition of HoTS to have something granted only shortly after release (made after release)... If they decide to make the Hydralisk more useful then I would highly appreciate a skin for them.
A skin for Zerglings would be too much, as you can have many of them. A skin for Banelings wouldn't last long. Roaches are also massed like Zerglings. Ultralisk? Maybe. Or Brood Lord - I actually think a BrLord / BrLing skin would be nice.
