Battlefield Stories: AI Level - Very Hard

In my last post I wrote about how Starcraft 2 AI is stupid and predictable. I figured that HARD level have the same pattern and build order. Iz can be pretty painful if you don't push right away. However, if you push you win, if you don't AI will be persistent. So, done deal with HARD level.

Then I tried VERY HARD, the last known level that is not cheating. I was a bit surprised. If you a pro gamer, you can easily skip this article. I know nothing is VERY HARD for you, as your skills are even more then insane. But hey, we noobs can enjoy AI for a while...

Battlefield stories: Starcraft 2 beta 2 started

Like when you do something to ant nest. Ants increase their speed multiple times and the nest looks like it is boiling.
Few things happened a day before. The EU servers started to roll out newest patch and game upgrade. I have feeling that EU started first. The heat momentarily raised up. Americans used all available resources (despite B.net forum which was still closed) wandering what is happening at the moment. . But, it looks like North American B.net servers now started the game while we in Europe still waiting. Pieces of information is circling around, about new features, balance changes etc. Plenty of materials to keep forums full.

Starcraft evolution: Commentator operational!

Unique people. Commentators, shoutcasters, casters, broadcasters, whatever you want to call them.
I don't know for how long they are around, but I discover them in Starcraft 2 beta. Pretty surprising and exciting for me. They became a part of the big game. It is like watching any other real life sports event. Thanks to high technology, reliable internet services, practical SC2 game features (replays) and sophisticated hardware and software support, this people grab their chance to became famous. At least in gaming community.
