It's not that great. It's either way too easy, or way too hard. Also, my game freezing for 5-10 seconds every few minutes really pisses me off.

I play all settings on Ultra and haven't froze up

I suck at starcraft so its tough so far, need more games to judge the balance fairly though.

I just learned that using reapers early on is a good idea for terran. Distracts your opponent, keeping them in their base, while you amass mauraders, helions and medivacs to drop into his base later. Also, it's a constant scouting, so you know what they're doing.

And I can play fine on ultra settings. My framerate is jsut fine. But every so often my screen just freezes up. I can't do anything, move, click, whatever. The mouse still works, but like that's any help. It really makes it hard to manage, especially when you're in a fight and you need to micro.

Fuck I suck at starcraft. I just mass up hydrolysks and mutalisks and throw them at people.

Protoss Void Rays are pretty good, they can be built relatively early and can do decent dmg. Carriers are also really good now.

The now was unnecessary.

Void rays piss me off.

I should build vikings more often.

They sent out friend invites to everyone with a current account I believe. So you can send out 1 friend invite.
