The novice maps are pretty dumb imo, but for learning the basics I suppose it works. They're the same matchmaking maps, but with destructible rocks blocking paths. Basically like playing no rush in BW, giving you 10 minutes or whatever to just build up with no threat of attack.
Their machines are tougher and get to fly their base away from attack. They're not the easiest to use but they can hold their own imo.Quote:

I hope my Core2Duo can play this. I'm now getting nervous about my processor being able to handle the game. And gotta keep in mind these specs are just the beta specs. It could change for the final game.
If it's coded correctly (and it's Blizzard so it should be) most of the workload should be on the gpu. This is the way most games are going nowadays.
Beta players are saying most of the strain will be on the CPU so those without video cards can at least play with minimum settings.
You should be fine. I prefer lowest settings anyway. It's ugly and all but the visibility is a million times better than playing on the higher settings.
Terrans were dominant in Brood War for a while due to the maps (had cliffs overlooking the base, could protect nat with tanks in main, etc). In SC2, metal isn't nearly as effective but the infantry is beefed up significantly even with the loss of medics. I'm expecting Z/T 2v2 teams to dominate once good players decide to play that combination; Marine/Marauder/Roaches sounds impossible to stop if well-timed.
Oh, and my friend whose stream I linked now has the #1 2v2 team in his division. You guys should watch! http://www.teamliquid.net/video/user...hp?user=sjon03

Hm, that's odd. Link works fine for me.
Medics were gay. Hooray no more medics.
And by gay I mean very hard to micro effectively.
