Great game. Haven't even touched the campaign, just multiplayer. Mostly Co-op against the AI to get the hang of the differences in tactics and the tech trees. I played SC pretty consistantly since '98 when it came out so I had really high expectations on gameplay. I'd say they were 90% met. There's a few little things I wish were different but overall it's a winner in my book. They did a great job at preserving the gameplay, which is why SC1 was so damn good to start with, but at the same time adding some new stuff and adding sweet graphics.

Graphics wise you're going to want a 9600GT/ATI HD Radeon 4650 minimum. You can get away with less than that but you'll lose out on some of the graphic experience, which is pretty sweet. I recommend a GTS250/ATI 4850 or better. I run a 4850 and it's beautiful. It eats up a bit of RAM as well. I'm running 6GB and my memory usage kicks from 20% to 50% on Windows 7 64-Bit. That's nearly 2GB just for the game running alone. Windows 7 will use more memory if you have it though. I ran it on my HTPC with a 4650 and 2GB of RAM and it ran just fine. Usage shot up to about 90% though. Alt-Tabbing was out of the question when my wife wanted to use the internet for a minute.

 

I am running dual 8800GT's on an older Q6600 so I am afraid I can't run at max graphic settings....

 

9500 GT w/ 3.4Gig processor.

Seems to run fine, i'm sure it's a little graphically downgraded though.

 

this game is awesome

i've played some co-op games and some of the campaign and I realized i suck at it, but its still fun - hope i get better soon.

 

Request sent, Anyone else?

 

Running Overclocked 9600 GT and i'm running on Ultra Settings.

Oh and btw, i fucking hate playing with people who cannot build fast like...what the fuck, i should not have 20 Voyager Rays by the time you have your first goliath

 

so i have a base macbook from a year ago.

do we think it would run with just basic graphic settings?

or should i just buy a new imac just to be sure?

 

I'm not sure if it would be worth it to play on any laptop.

Also, i have no clue what the specs on macbooks are at all.

 

intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz
2gb ram
geforce 9400M

that's about all i know

i have monitors that i can play it on if you were talking about not playing on a laptop because of the size.

if i download the game (because i can't find it in the store anywhere) and it runs like shit on my macbook, so then i buy an imac, would i be able to play the same copy on the imac or would i have to buy another copy?

 

its attached to your battle.net ID... so you wont have to buy anything again... you can even download it right from the website.
