Your thoughts?
My initial thoughts:
I love the terran design, style, units, and music. I don't care for some of the style and unit liberties they've taken with zerg and protoss.
Zooming. I like it but i wish you could zoom out more. no matter what resolution you play at, everthing is the same size. I guess this is to keep it fair for matches involving someone who has a great resolutoin capability vs. someone who does not.
Graphics and Video requirements. Graphics on the Ultra/high settings and at max resolution (1900x1200) are amazing but not so much on lower settings. My machine will run with everything maxed but not without melting my video card... =(
Playing even in my preferred resolution (1680x1050) causes my gpu temp to skyrocket 100+ degrees C, even with everything set to medium. (Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS 512MB) I've NEVER seen my gpu temp this high ever. Obviously, this is completely unnacceptable, and i'm gonna try upgrading my gfx drivers to see if it makes any difference. 'Till then i play 1400x900/medium settings, and my temps stay below 77 degrees C.
Updating. downloading new patches is gay since it's deadly slow, and no matter what ports i open as well what potentially-conflicting programs i turn off, i get the "your shit appears to be behind a firewall" message. I mean, it still updates it's just really slow.
Playing offline. Pretty cool i can play offline with AI using a cracked offline launcher. I use StarCraft II - Offline Launcher v2.3.1.
That's all for now! what do you think?
