Best place to discuss StarCraft (and some other questions)
I've read quite a bit about this game and I will probably buy it soon. Before I do so, I have a few questions:-
Which is the best dedicated forum to disucss this game? Is there an official forum, or a better independent one? How many players still play this game online? (I understand that it's a bit of an old game now?) How long (typically) does an online game take? (I ask, because I would probably play at lunchtimes, on my laptop. Many thanks for any info (including any good links you may know of) on this game. Cheers, Ian |

Re: Best place to discuss StarCraft (and some other questions)
heh, it's never too late to get into starcraft...googling will turn up tons of sites with video and strat forums, so u won't have any problems finding help...
games really can vary...could end from an initial rush, maybe last up to an hour (just my experiences)... tbh, i don't still know how many people play on battle.net because when i play now, it's usually with friends, so i haven't kept up with the traffic... |

Re: Best place to discuss StarCraft (and some other questions)
there are still tons of players online, however you may find that the average skill lvl of the players is very high. An average game takes 15 minutes.
Stay away from the official forums they are full of noobs. Some good forums are teamliquid.net , gosugamers.net, and sclegacy.com Probably better to do mostly reading first rather than posting. |

I second the Teamliquid.net suggestion.

[/ QUOTE ] Cheers for the pointers. Will check out the info tonight. I like the sound of 15 minute average playing time. I take it that it runs OK on XP? I read the specs and it only mentions the older OS's. (Which is good news as it should run OK on my P7010 laptop) |

If your just starting to play online now, your going to get your ass handed to you by the gosus who've been playing it for 5 years.
