When Starcraft 2 was first announced, there was universal elation. Players everywhere were overwhelmingly excited that they’d finally get to continue the story of the first game and that they’d have the tools in hand to do it on next-gen computers and with updated RTS rules and strategies. But, for newbie players, the idea of going up against players who have been at it for the last 12 years is a bit overwhelming.
While I played my fair share of Starcraft back in the day, it’s been a long time and I’m rust. Scratch that, I’m beyond rusty. I’m disintegrated. And that means I’m starting pretty much from nothing, along with millions of other potential players who will be hoping to hold their own in multiplayer on Battle.net.
If you’re one of those players, you may be wondering if you need help in Starcraft 2. The question has a lot of merit (and I have it myself), so what should be the line at which you finally take the leap and go looking for help?
• Can You Win – If you can’t win matches in Bronze on 1v1, you’re probably not doing something right. Eventually, practice should get you at least to Silver status.
• You Don’t Understand Instructions – If you’re in 2v2 or 4v4 matches and don’t understand the instructions you’re being given, it’s time to find a bit of help to overcome the confusion.
• You’re Not Having Fun – It’s a game. If you’re getting destroyed so hard that you’re not having fun, what’s the point? Get help and start having fun again.
The bottom line is that Starcraft 2 is a huge new game, but it’s only going to be enjoyable if you can play it at the level you were hoping. So, find some help and start playing it with the best gurus out there. You may not hit Platinum status overnight, but I’ll bet you start winning some matches and having some real fun a lot quicker.
